What Not to Draw, p. 1/3
Internship: 2 months down, one month to go. I was looking at the pages I’ve drawn since coming to Periscope, and noticed a pattern. First, I finished an old crew-bar comic, then drew “An Impromptu Lesson at Periscope,” started a quick anecdote about walking in downtown Portland (it’ll be up later this week), and then […]
SE Hawthorne, on the way to the studio
I’ve never looked that much like a billboard before! I guess Portland has enough Becky-approximations to form a niche market… The “I Believe in You” graffiti is a fun coincidence, isn’t it?
Thank Youuu, Shoulder Angel
Here’s the beginning of this storyline, as well as Shoulder-Angel’s first appearance.
The Shoulder Angel Returns…
Annnd page 2 is up! A quick note about the comic, since some readers were confused: Jewish holidays begin at sundown, and end on sundown the next day. So the Sabbath begins on Friday night, which is when the Shoulder Angel notices that it’s also Yom Kippur, one of the holidays surrounding the Jewish New […]
The Shoulder Angel Returns…
Page 1 of 3. I was hoping to have the whole comic done this week, but it takes longer to knock out these pages when you’re getting lots of really helpful, detailed feedback on them! This week especially, Periscope has been taking my drawing-brain apart and putting it together differently. So while I’m working on […]
Bus Doodles
This is how I occupy myself during the commute. Sort of a visual Facebook status-update. A quick note: the shoulder-angel was actually ruining Po’Girl and Sia Furler, but I wasn’t sure they were familiar enough names for the joke to work. (Also, I thought “vagina music” was a FAIRLY popular way to make fun of […]
The end…for now
This is the first shoulder-angel comic I’ve finished, but it won’t be the last. Shoulder-angels are frustrating to live with–at least, mine ranges from unhelpful to bitchy–but they are SO much fun to write! Incidentally, the Jonathan Case mentioned in the comic has a book coming out! Click here for a peek at some amazing […]
To be continued…
Heehee, I’m having fun with this one! If you feel like geeking out with me over cartooning choices, read on: In response to some feedback at Periscope, I’m trying to switch up my panel compositions a bit more. In the first draft of this cartoon, I was about the same size in each panel, and […]
Sleep-Deprived Convention-Weekend Sketches
Annnnd, we’re back from APE! If I just met you this weekend, thanks for checking out my table! I’m currently inking one autobio story and penciling another, so look for more comic pages coming up this week. Conventions look really different from behind the table, but as always, APE was a great weekend. I caught […]
The end.
