Sketches!  Just to prove that I’m still here and not just lazing around.  I’m getting back into hand drawn stuff!  And watercolors.  I think they look neat, and they’d be a good fit for what I want to do with this comic, and comics in general.  I’m busy working on a short, non-monsters related piece right now that I want to finish before really settling back into this guy, as well as getting together a bunch of Monsters comics before I start posting again, since doing it this way will take a little more time and I’m tired of trying to rush them out the night before.  It’s sloppy and I’m ready to not be sloppy anymore.  Anyhoo, hope you guys like this preview of the new look!

Another Sketch Day!  Sorry about the cliffhanger folks, but I spent this weekend visiting the Center for Cartoon Studies up in Vermont (where I had a great time and even got a portfolio review from Jason Lutes), and I need a little time to absorb things about comics into my head.  I got some great feedback from Jason about the comic, and what I should work on, and I want to take a little time to work on some other pieces and try out some new things, but Monsters will be back!  Probably next week.  Until then, enjoy this sketch of Scout and Atticus from To Kill a Mockingbird, which I saw on TV the other night.  Great film!

Comic!  Something’s up with Euryale.  And there’s that dude.  Hmmm.

Fresh off the plane from the Big Easy, I’m heading up north this weekend to check out the Center for Cartoon Studies!  Hooray!  Excitement abounds.  I’ll be getting a portfolio review, which I am way pumped for and terrified about.  Hopefully I’ll be back next week with a new outlook on comics and some helpful advice in my pocket for how to Get Better at Art.  See y’all next week!

He’s back!  I watched more classic Doctor Who, and it struck me how they actually did some cool things with the companions, like have them be cavewomen, or other Time Lords, or from the future, or made out of pudding, etc., and as much as I love new Who, I wish they would do some other things!  So, I figured what if the Doctor picked up a serf who was totally unequipped for the time travel lifestyle?  Also, if the Doctor was a bro, and rode a vespa?  You know what, just run with it.  “Monsters” is coming back on Thursday!

Sketch day comic!  I’m down in the Big Easy for a few days, so enjoy the world’s next great sci-fi epic: TIME BRO.

There were a couple of days last weekend where I was being all angsty and going “ARGH I NEED TO MAKE REAL ART NOT JUST DOODLE MONSTERS ARGH” and then watched some classic Doctor Who with the awesome Jen Overstreet and then I made a comic about Time Bro and his Serf sidekick.

Comic!  Are all these monsters dicks?  Apparently so.

Whoof.  Finally.  This one took forever to make, but I am immensely proud of it.  Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I’m definitely feeling the improvement that comes from making comics twice a week for four months.  Thanks for coming along, and I hope you guys enjoy this one!

Also: SMOKING IS BAD.  RARRRGH.  This has been your public service announcement from No One Believes in Monsters.

Comic comic!  Hrm, now why does Ethan look so excited/sneaky?  oooOOOOoooo.

Mmmm, nothing like some good old fashioned cheese, huh?  I do love me some cheese.

…please forgive me!
