My friend and writing partner is putting out the first chapter of his comic, and I have done the cover for him. He gave me a lot of artistic freedom (but not a lot of time), so I went with the cover of the classic EC cover that so enraged Frederic Wertham and other 1950s denizens.
As I’ve been using Illustrator to color more, I have also been trying to brush up on some of my other Illustrator based skills, like logo creation. Illustrator is great for creating logos and very clean, symmetrical images, so here are a couple o’ fun, practice logos.
In my last semester of grad school, I learned how to make GIFs! The timing on this is perfect because I am working on a series of short, sock-puppet-themed movies called BoardSockEmpire. As cross promotion, I am creating these GIFs. Eventually, I will incorporate these into a scrolling cityscape, not unlike XZCD’s infinite scroll comic, though significantly smaller. In the meantime, I share with you now these GIFs.
Apologies for my absence lo these past weeks. It’s been a busy month! Here’s what’s going on:
-I got engaged
-I finished grad school
-I launched my new comic, Tomorrow Jerks
-I am moving
-I went to LA for a weekend
And now I’d like to talk to y’all about Tomorrow Jerks, my new comic! It’s about about a couple of jerks and their Walrus buddy, yukkin’ it up in the future! The first chapter is up already and the second chapter is rolling out, one page a week! It’s free, Bee Tee Dubs. Here’re a couple o’ pages, to give you a taste. They’re unrelated:
Photoshop is one of my passions! I love making fake pictures for some reason. I guess that falls under the category of creepy, but admitting that I have a problem is the first step towards… I don’t know, something.
Here’s me and Sookie with a wrap around layer
Pee Wee: The real work of art
I was trying to tell people that I didn’t photoshop my head onto Czar Nicolas II’s body, but raised a lot of questions.
This might be the best thing I’ve ever done in my life.
Here are some pieces I ran through Illustrator
My family friend made a replica six-shooter, and you know that I love toy guns! Here’s a drawing of me holding it.
My friend Nathan and I went on a walk with his son, who wore a gnome outfit.
Hey Y’all!
The spring semester is over, and I will be posting a little more frequently. I wanted to share with you a page from my thesis.
I Met this handsome guy the other day. He has no ears.
It’s no secret that I love pooches, particularly French Bulldogs. Finally I have an outlet for my fondness in my wardrobe! I silk-screened this shirt a few days ago.
