24 Little Hours, p. 1/2
Hello! I’m in the Skagway Public Library right now, and consequently have to limit my internet time and bandwidth, but I just wanted to let you know the following: I’ve just re-started work on a longer story that I started last fall (and blithely advertised as “Available December 2009” in my minicomic for SPX). It’s […]
Coloring Attempt #2
What’s fun to do in the staff bar? Sit in the introvert-corner with a beer, and play with the laptop! I was here until 6am last night. I started off working on my last post, and embarrassingly enough–it looks simple–I couldn’t get the text and photos where I wanted them. By the time I finished trying […]
Frikkin Tourists, and an A-HA moment
This is what we were looking at, if you’re curious: I also got a quick shot of the girls in the comic, using a trick shown me by a well-traveled ship-musician. She had her camera on a neckstrap, and walked around holding it about chest-level. Then she could surreptitiously take touristy shots while seemingly focused […]
Copious Time to Myself
This is the first cartoon I’ve colored on the computer. I’m not sure whether to be proud of this, or mildly embarrassed by the results. I was figuring out Paint.net, the generic Photoshop on my computer, as I went along; plus I don’t have a mouse, so I got a whole lot of this stuff […]
A Big Old FOMO
The staff bar was hopping earlier tonight. The production cast finishes their contract next week, so the replacement singers and dancers are already rehearsing onboard. Altogether, the staff bar contained two casts, half a dozen lounge musicians, some laptops in the introvert-corner, and tables full of waiters and Filipinos. The crowd is trickling out now, […]
Goodbyes for Real
The street scene is in Bridgetown, Barbados. I admit that in 2 years, I’ve spent most of my Barbados-days at a crew-hangout beach bar, partying like an undergrad, but one can also walk into the city where “real people” eat and shop. The buildings are a combination of crumbling former colonial grandeur, pastel-colored, decades-old multi-story […]
The Familiar Things
This is me at Polly’s, a food/coffee/internet cafe in St. Croix. It’s a favorite spot for the entertainment department, myself included, but I realized at some point that Polly’s wouldn’t look too out of place in any coastal city in the U.S. There are bags of organic coffee and handmade crafts for sale, wraps and […]
Greetings (finally) from Aruba!
Here it is, the first cartoon of this contract! I drew it three days in, and have been keeping an almost-daily comic journal since then. (I was on a page-a-day roll for awhile, when messing with page layouts and drawing detailed buildings didn’t slow me down.) It’s hard to believe I’ve been on the ship […]
