Sketchbook-Comic from 11/18/14

I drew this in my sketchbook during my last semester of school, in class, when I was supposed to be brainstorming for some other art assignment. I posted a pic of the page in my notebook, and promptly forgot all about the damn thing until just recently, when I happened to come across it while searching for some other scrap of paper that had been eaten by the clutter surrounding my drawing table.

Incomplete Entree

This actually happened about a month ago now, but I didn't have time to draw the strip because of impending school assignments and whatnot. Sufficed to say, I'm much better now.

Under Advisement

The constant anxiety of school tends to put me in a dour mood. I recently purchased an 11x17 scanner, so this is the first strip I've drawn on 11x14 Bristol board (which is considerably larger the 8.5x11 boards I normally work with); It's nice to have a little extra space to draw.

 Also, here is the cover to "Epic Tales..."#9, which I'll be sending to the printer in the next month or so.

Nerdling

She's fairly close to being able to actually say, "Godzilla" now, too.

Independence Day in the A.Z.

Shannon read this strip and said she didn't think it really made sense because she doesn't see a connection between Mexico and firecrackers. I don't know, but when I see Mexico in my mind, I think of firecrackers almost going hand-in-hand with pinatas during celebrations, and being a staple of the culture. Am I wrong, am I making this up?

PS I decided to post this strip regardless of whether or not it makes sense based on the fact that it wouldn't be the first time I posted something that was unfunny or nonsensical.

Anatomy

 I almost always exaggerate Shannon's reactions because, much like anatomy, subtly isn't my strong suite. 

Contemplation Street

Universal truths are cryptic.

Here's the original drawing I used as the basis for the illustrator image I posted recently. I screwed up the perspective, but I like it regardless of that.

Out with the Old

HAHA! Reality is inconvenient.

Trying to Impress the Indie-Comix-Girl

I should really try to figure out how to draw girls to look different than how I draw Shannon; The girl in this strip just looks like Shannon wearing a disguise.


Anyways, here's a link to where I posted my "Free Comic Book Day" comic online, so go read that shit!

Autobio in Reading

The first story in Tom Hart's "Collected Hutch Owen: vol.1" (entitled 'Hutch Owen's Working Hard') is probably my favorite one. It's a little less polished than some of the later stories in the trade as far as the art goes, but I think it's one of my favorite stories. Of course, I say "...less polished...", but I still consider it to be 100 times better than what I draw!

"Get into Comix!", the first 30 pages

I've uploaded the first 30-pages of my origin story, "Get into Comix!" to the interwebz. It's far from completed, but I just couldn't wait to have you people take a gander at it. I've posted small portions of the story on this blog previously, and the first 8 pages or so appeared in the "Epic Tales..."#6 mini-comic, but this is the first 3 chapters (well, minus the last page of chap.3, but I'm almost done with it!), altogether.

The Problem with Autobio Comix

Surprisingly, this is one conversation that has only come up 2 or 3 times since Shannon and I got together.

Character

Yeah, so, my head is shaved bald once again, but I'm still growing a beard (which is actually kind of stupid, considering it's, like, 115 degrees outside in Phoenix).

Wingin' It!

It turned out okay; Score one for ME!!!

Famous Among People I Already Know

The show was @ the Trunk Space, in Phoenix. Rumspringer, Parkway Wretch, and Off with their Heads all played sets, and it was all over by 11:00PM, which is a good time for a show to be over. Good stuff.

Good Cause

According to the myspace bulletin Chris posted, he ended up with $817.55. Also, I got to play keyboard for my friends' band, Hotdog. Here's the flyer for the show.
