Hi! This is my illustration for Blank Party’s Earthbound fanzine! They’ll be debuting it at SPX this September! Check it out when it’s available!
Hi guys! I just passed 100 tumblr followers, thanks everyone!
It’s a little late, but here’s my witchsona. Riding a pine branch, wielding a hawthorn wand, accompanied by ghosties and wearing an article of clothing I really wish I owned. I wanted to put more detail into it but since it took me practically all day as is, it’ll have to do. I haven’t posted anything in color on here in a while! It’s nice to practice every now and then.
You might have noticed I still haven’t posted the webcomics review I promised…weeks ago. Truth is I’m behind on a lot of things in life right now, so it might have to wait until I’ve gotten some of this other stuff out of the way. Busy busy!
It’s pretty late but I finally scanned and cleaned up my hourlies from this sunday! Enjoy!
Some pages from a ~~~mystery project~~~ ~*~*oooooo*~*~
I made this comic a few months ago for a school assignment based on a dream I had. I don’t think it came out just the way I wanted it to, but it was enjoyable to make.
I did this comic a few weeks ago for an assignment. I hesitated to post it since it seems like I’ve only been posting depressing things here, but that’s just the kind of comics I make I guess! Hope you enjoy.
One of the things about these comics that can be seen as either a drawback or a bonus is that it’s a direct tap into how I’m feeling in the moment that I make them. None of them have taken longer than an hour to draw and they’re usually about a persistent feeling or a moment. So for this one it’s really clear that I just had no energy to put into it. On the other hand, people seem to respond well to that raw feeling. I want to make comics that are more planned, though, so now I just need to find a way to channel that immediacy into a story.
Another 1 hour comic. My lettering isn’t as clear here, and some of the art is pretty dodgy, since I was feeling impatient. That’s something I need to work on–letting the comic take as long as it needs instead of rushing through it. But I also kind of like the very simple panels, and it’s a fun exercise to see how much i can communicate in just a few lines.
here are some field sketches in comic form from last week’s class with Simon Moreton ( smoo ). Thanks for coming Simon!
Sometimes it’s hard to keep going when the odds seem stacked against you. But I’m more determined than ever to get up again every time I’m knocked down.
I think this comic looks better on paper…not least because each panel is about 2"x1.5". But yes, there are purple morning glories growing right outside my door. I hope they last, it’s getting bitter outside.
I drew this comic in my notebook this morning while listening to John Porcellino talk about his writing process. His influence is kind of obvious here, maybe. But I thought of it while I was walking to the classroom, so it was probably a subliminal rather than direct influence….
This took about an hour to draw, and I went straight to inking using microns–no pencils.
Here’s a little sketchbook doodle from class today that I messed around with in photoshop for a bit. I know it’s a little ironic when I hardly ever post anything here. But it’s good to have goals! I hope I can use this to encourage myself and others!
Hello everyone! I realized I’d never posted this online, so here it is. This was done between November and December of 2013 for a mini-anthology with my classmates Reilly Hadden, Anna McGlynn and Hannah Ratblood. It’s the last part of a continuous story about a town plagued by psychic disturbances after a meteor lands right in the middle of main street, so it might not make much sense on its own. But perhaps the Moon Rock anthology will be reprinted…and put on sale??? WHO KNOWS!!
I don’t think the second chapter is online, but if you’re curious: here is the first chapter, and here is the chapter that precedes mine.
Now that it’s half a year old, I can see a lot of flaws in it. But there’s no point in dwelling on it when new comics are waiting to be made!
