Category: Miscellaneous Oddities

This is the kind of image I get when I read the news lately. (See also here.)

After a typically frustrating inking experience I decided to try finishing a strip in pencils. I’m not sure this will work. The scan shows every smudge, and it’s hard to get that plain white border that blends with the web page.

Another weird one:

This is one of my odder cartoons. Basically I cobbled together a few random sketchbook drawings, and wrote a caption to match.

I have another four-panel comic coming up, so on the bottom third of the bristol I drew another single-panel surrealist comic based on randomly juxtaposed words. (I should do more of these—my drawing seems to improve when I focus on one image.)

I uncovered a half-finished, five-year-old comic while I was straightening up, and inked it. The compositions in panels 2 and 4 were so off I had to correct them in Photoshop, but for something I drew five years ago it’s not so bad.

I’m finally getting some new comics done. This isn’t one of my best, but the one I’m posting later this week turned out okay. In the coming year I hope to produce more and better work.
