I Made it to Sydney!
After 30+ hours in transit, I made it to Sydney. I arrived the day before my contract started, so I met up with an Australian friend from my first contract. He gave me the best possible reception: a beachfront breakfast in nearby Brighton! Next I took the train into Sydney, and spent the whole day […]
Sketchbook Time
I thought I’d put some more sketches up before I leave. The faces are bus/subway sketches from Portland and New York. It’s 6am here, but it’s 9pm in Sydney, where I’m going. My friend Mila can pack her suitcase a couple of hours before going to the airport. That’s what she tells me. She says […]
Bubble Tea Sketches
Here are some doodles from an evening of bubble tea and TALKING. ABOUT. COMICS. That’s Darryl Ayo and Marguerite Dabaie in the foreground. (They’re pretty awesome–Check out their stuff!) These sketches are brought to you by my brand-new travel scanner (ta-daa!). It takes some getting used to, but it’s small enough to go in my […]
Shoulder Angel Sketches
Before I penciled the latest Shoulder Angel story, I decided to work out what size she actually is, how she moves, etc. I got some of these poses from a book of turn-of-the-century cupid illustrations. (Man, Periscope has the greatest stuff! Thanks guys!) The new story is a definite push for me in terms of […]
Bye for now, Pittsburgh!
I’m writing this right before I board a train for Portland, Oregon, where I’m totally excited to intern with Periscope Studio for a couple months! These are some sketches I did last night. I caught up with an old friend, Luci, who was playing bluegrass/Irish fiddle/top 40/misc. for a graduation party in a Pittsburgh […]
Things to do in New York:
1) Rant about Hollywood casting, minority characters in comics, kick-ass inking/coloring, and other pressing issues with my good friend Darryl Ayo Braithwaite 2) Check out some electronic music with DJ/artist/coffee buddy Donald Yi George (It’s funny, trying to catch up with my friends on land. Some of them are 9-to-5-ers, and others send me messages […]
Last Day of the Contract
The shuttle took us from the ship to the airport at 9am. My flight wasn’t till 5, so I checked my bags and took a train back into Amsterdam. I found the usual requirements–coffee, internet, and old buildings–and then sketched in an outdoor cafe til it started raining. The first day off the ship always […]
End-of-Contract Moments
These were a couple of sketches I did right before leaving the ship. Sorry I haven’t updated in awhile; these sketchbook pages feel like a cop-out. I got off the ship July 21st, had a week in New York, and then went up to Vermont for the Center for Cartoon Studies summer workshop! That’s where […]
