1¢ comic, oooh yeah. 

More mini comics...

 

The next few posts are going to be mainly mini comic posts, since two of my projects, well three, if I have time for it, are all minis. Guess who's excited?! Haha, anyhow, the top on is a mock up of a silkscreen cover I'm going to do for my Alt/Exp class, and the bottom is the fold out poster that will be safely tucked away inside of it. So exciting, I know. 

Mini Comics Expo

I'm going to be there. 

Pie Vikings

I finished all my little pie vikings, they all are 4x6 in the end, and I have to say, I'm pretty sad to let them go, but then if I get money for them, I won't be so sad anymore. I know, I know, selling out, whatever, I have a digital copy of them, and who knows, I probably will get them all back anyhow, but at least I'll have this pie show under my belt and plastered onto my resume. 

Attack of the Pie Show!

Ghetto Scan

So these are the inks for the Attack of the Pie show my friend, Meg, is curating/organizing from over at the Damn Hipsters link on the side of the page. Obviously it is about pie, and what goes better with pie, than Vikings? Originally I was going in more of a gnome direction, but ended up changing my mind the other day with the help of my dear friend Jason to vikings. I think it will work out okay, now I just have to watercolor them. 

Those Sweaters....

Please forgive the horrendous lettering. 

It was design week somewhere and I didn't get the memo.

poo poo

Our first assignment for Alternative/Experimental comics was to make a self portrait comic making ourselves bigger and break out of the panel borders. Or something like that. I can't really remember the details of the assignment anymore and am too lazy to pull the rubric out. Anyhow, I didn't really enjoy my first piece, and no one else did either, it was just lazy I guess. So I re-worked it a few weeks back and then forgot about it until recently, now I'm just tired of it, so I'm done.

Old stuff

I was going through some of my old doodles and found some blue line art of fairy tales that I remember I never finished but had really enjoyed. I think I'm going to try and pick that back up and finish.

If you can see these, you have awesome sauce eyesight!

New Mini Comics & Superhero Comics Can Suck It

We handed out our third mini comics today in class, and they were all pretty funny not to mention just plain weird. But, that is what you have to love about independent comics, they are going to be some of the weirdest things you'll ever lay your hands on.

1/8th minis from last week

Unusal size minis from today, well now yesterday

Okay, so superhero comics. I don't mind them, but honestly I could care less about them, unlike most of my fellow nerds. Don't get me wrong they are beautiful, but a lot of the times I find that the stories are a bit week and strung out. So, yesterday I rediscovered the Graphic Novel section at the school library and decided to read as many of them as I can. Graphic novels and alternative comics seem to go almost totally unnoticed that any outsider who hears you draw comics will automatically think of Batman, and I'm sick tired of it. I guess with all these Alternative style classes I've been taking I've taken on a great appreciation of these kinds of comics and want to get my hands on as many as I can. Also, to try and help out in giving these hidden gems more of a voice I am going to write up a little bit about each of the artists or comics that I've read over on my Tumblr. Hopefully my small little voice will help add to the small din of noise.
