Melancholy Comics: 2

From 2010; concerning romantic expectation. The rag-doll is made of cloth and string and is actually sewn onto the paper.

Melancholy Comics: 1

Apologies for the size; this is as big as I can make it. I hope it's still legible.

From 2009--This was going to be a piece of a larger project with black and white ink narrative interspersed with mixed-media dream sequences, but I've since moved on to other endeavors. The over-arcing theme of the project was about self-discovery, but I've become much more comfortable with myself over the last five years and have shed the angst that originally fueled these works.

Still good exercises in visual storytelling though.

Lego people are easier to draw than real people.

WASTELAND:

I drafted this comic a in Olympia, WA on Hourly Comic Day a couple of years ago. Granted this one wasn't part of the event (it took more than an hour, and didn't fit with the subject matter), but the whole day is a nice way to get people motivated and inspired about the medium and it sparks a lot of ideas. If you haven't participated in an Hourly Comic Day (Feb, 1st), I'd highly recommend it.

After having followed the same drafting formats for so long, this comic was really an attempt to play with layouts a little bit and to go beyond the borders of the panels. I know it's not that radical, but you have to realize that most of my comics before this where perfect 2x8 boxes without any deviation.

I hope you enjoy it!



I'm tagging this with the "Lego" label even though this isn't made out of Legos, aaannd these could very well be Mega Blocks for copyright infringement purposes.

Ant jokes. Hilarious.

In order to better understand the punchline, just read up on the awesome behavior of these ants.

The Presidents of Yesterday . . .

. . . TODAY!!!!!!

Here's the first of a string of themed comic gags:

I plan on doing more, but I need to stop worrying about the jokes not making sense because time-traveling presidents is already a stretch. More to come I hope!

Old Comics

Here's some old comic-ing from Highschool:
 

I tried to do a series of these, but this was the only remotely funny one. Then that whole Geico thing happened and Homo erectus wasn't funny anymore.

Great weekend

Here's a comic:
