I've Returned/New Webcomic

Fri Aug 15, 2008, 10:35 AM
I just went to a summer art program out of town which was one of the best experiences of my life. As such, I have lots of new, much better work to post.

First off, my final project for my comic art class is available online here [link]

I'm not terribly proud of it...I scrambled to do all the art in the last week, amidst final projects for other classes and while I was sick. Plus it was my first time using photoshop so I'm not pleased with the digital lettering...I may go back and letter by hand if I ever make it a mini-comic. But anyhoo, take from it what you will.

I've gotten into doing lots of gouaches this summer, so expect to see some paintings put online (if I can ever get my camera to work...)

Also, I'm beginning planning for what will (hopefully) become my first "full-length" comic "novel" (meaning over about 20 pages at least, for me). I plan to release it simultaneously in installments on the web and in mini-comics with special painted covers. It will be a silent "space epic" about a young chimp looking for a place he can call home. Currently, it's tentativley entitled "George Come Home".

Enjoy!
