Started doing exercises from Lynda Barry’s books (and I’ll get to that in another post <3 ) – which listed Ivan Brunetti. This comic is from his syllabus in Cartooning: philosophy and practice. And I’ve been following a weird thread of obsession with Germany – more especially Berlin’s history as a city. Which has led […]
This blog post brought to you by Trying To Stay Consistent But You Haven’t Made Anything You Liked All Week! I read quite a few comics this week, so I figured I’d write a review for the 3 I finished: Coyote Doggirl (Lisa Hanawalt), Inappropriate (Gabrielle Bell), and Kabul Disco: How I managed not to […]
Well, that’s the end of the Service Industry Haiku series for now – I hit 30 completed comics on Friday. So I’ve been thinking about why I struggle to finish projects, and this last series was something of an observational test. I noticed that the main culprit is a focus on quality, instead of quantity.

Thought I’d get all 6 remaining comics up and out this week, but, nah. That video is also, just, nah right now. So, now I’m wondering if I just keep going and publish this first 30 as a first volume? Since the printer I contacted for a quote hasn’t gotten back to me yet, I’m […]

Next, I’ve graduated to a new format: LIMERICKS ABOUT OKLAHOMA! Realized this old project, (that perhaps […]

Made 4 #serviceindustryhaiku comics This weekends playtime comic production is underway. I finished the 12 page thumbnails stage today, and tomorrow or Sunday I’m planning to colour it traditionally. Tested out some loose pencil and watercolours and I think that’s how I’ll colour them. Then scan in the work for hand-lettering. I’ll post the finished […]
Started inking and colouring the finished pencil this weekend. Decided to go digital with process, because 1) I only have blue ink, and 2) wanted to mess about on the computer for a bit. Was honestly pretty self-conscious about the story because it was very simplistic and silly. My goal for it was just to […]
