Beer is Culture!
I made this piece a month or so ago as an entry for Sixpoint Brewery’s annual “Beer is Culture” art and design competition, and I came away with third place! Woohoo! My first art win, oh it feels so nice. They even did a nice little interview with me on their blog, which you...
Seeing Sarah
“Seeing Sarah” is a travelogue and journal of a 72-hour trip to that I took to New Orleans in December 2011. It was written as a companion piece to “You Promised No One Would Go In There,” showing the rest of the eventful three days I spent in the Big Easy. A reflection on old friends,...
Hourly Comic Day 2012
Wednesday was Hourly Comic Day! So I made some comics. I almost didn’t but then I did so there. There’s a ton of other people who did them, too, and you should check them out here! It’s rad seeing other peoples’ days.
The Lantern Carrier
After yesterday’s experiment with gouache, I thought I’d try something that was…well, the complete opposite. I was curious about trying just a single color wash, and think this kind of looks nice! A little busy, though…will have to play a little more.
Temp, Elevator Mechanic, Doll, The Truth Within The Lie
Oh, gouache. I’ve recently started playing around with it a bit more, and I think I’m liking it so far, despite any kind of training. Color is really tough! I like ink. Once these sit a little, though, I actually like them a lot. I made this as a warmup painting this morning using...
Day Four – Tahoe
I drew this a while back when I was trying to do one of those 30-Day Drawing Challenges, and then gave up. I might do one next month, though (although I’ll have to add on a few days!). But, what I did get done for that try, I did like a lot. This was...
Blue Laws
My first real go at watercoloring for comics! I like how this turned out, although I’m still working out some kinks with the process.
Make It Up As We Go Along
A watercolor I made! I spent a lot of time this week listening to Stop Making Sense, one of my favorite albums. The concert film introduced me to the Talking Heads, and to say it left a big impression on me is putting it…let’s say mildly. VERY mildly. If you haven’t seen it, I...
Hourly Comics Day 2011
Yesterday, the first of February, was Hourly Comics Day! I’m very happy to have done it for the second year running. It’s a really great way to really go about your day, thinking about all the little things that happen in a very intensive way, and I can’t see myself doing it more than...
