April 17, 1897: The title on this one is pretty self-explanatory. I forgot to do his hat again (I owe two hats now). The bicycle on this was such an incredible stretch for me that I quibbled over it for weeks! So that's why it took me so long. I finally just made up my mind to paint something approximating an 1890s bicycle and be done with it. Otherwise it would drag on forever and I'm trying much harder to finish things that I start.

Unfortunately, while all that quibbling was going on, I accidentally deleted all my other Frank Merriwell files (argh! fie on you, Dropbox!). That's the first time I've ever done anything to stupid, and now I have to rebuild everything to make printable plates. I can't tell you how much that stinks. So it may not happen any time soon. In the meantime I thought I would post Bicycle Frank even if he's missing his background stand thing (which he needs to cover his feet). He'll be properly finished in the plate.

Oh my gosh... I love the bicycle. It's so cool. This is my favorite Frank yet. He seems like such a nice American boy, but I think he needs a few more non-sporting outfits.

thank you! for all the crabbiness it gave me, it came out okay in the end. i do have two other non-sporting outfits for Frank, but i haven't painted them (i thought if i could get the bike done, it would be enough ~ ha!)

so i don't know if i will come back to Frank. i have other ideas in the works at the moment.

The bike is awesome. It's a heck of a lot better than any bike I could draw. My bikes always look rather like one of those rubber-band-balls you find in offices.
