pack up my dinosaurs and leave the room
“I have never listened to anyone who criticized my taste in space travel, sideshows or gorillas. When this occurs, I pack up my dinosaurs and leave the room.” --Ray Bradbury
This is a minicomic I’m running off to foist on people at CAKE this weekend! It’s the same page twice, just rotated so you can read all the parts. It makes sense when it’s printed and folded, I promise!
As you can tell there have been some changes designwise since the last time I posted these folks, but I still have not gotten the hang of drawing Douglas Fairbanks. Either of them.
i posted to the wrong blog again life is over etc.
So the other day I was like “I should think of an artist whose work looks as little like mine as possible and see how well I can copy his work in thirty minutes! It’ll be fun!”
The bad news is my idea of “fun” is broken on several levels. The good news is that these turned out slightly less unfortunate than I expected. I think I peaked at The Fifth Plague, but The Fighting Temeraire is at least recognizable? :D?
I’ve been getting a ton of writing and research done for this project lately, but not enough drawing is happening. Which is bad when making, you know, a comic. Spent a few hours tonight playing around with shading and color choices (or lack thereof). I was using this drawing by John Thomas Serres as reference:
No one in this comic yet looks like they do in my head and/or the actors I’m using as reference, but I’m getting sloooowwwly closer.
I scribbled out a biographical comic about something my friend Brittney made. This is gonna be folded up as booklets and be one of the minicomics I run off for Industry Night tomorrow!
soap bottle labels

so so so done
no I lied here is something now!
It’s an animated title sequence for The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari and I am SUPER HAPPY with it.
(The music is from the Constantine score, by Klaus Badelt.)
Hey guys! I’ve been really busy lately, but my thumb drive toasted itself unexpectedly this weekend so I’ve lost the digital originals of a lot of stuff I wanted to post :(
Hang in there and I’ll start getting work up again! I’ve done a lot of good things lately, I swear.
And these are the finished postcards!
Text still Gertrude Stein, am not affiliated with the New School blah blah blah.
Roughs for a postcard front!
These all use the same page of text from Gertrude Stein’s Tender Buttons (although sometimes only one word of it!)
Boards for one of my final projects :)
