#15 Ultimate Battle

Part of this project is about me trying to force myself to generate new output, and part of it is about me trying to put out things I've had laying around for awhile. Those two goals are sort of at odds with each other. I was fascinated with fetuses for awhile, particularly with how cute they were and how much they look like shrimp. I have a lot of pictures floating around of fetuses dressed as gangsters, plumbers, royalty, pimps, Wild-West sheriffs, Zorro, martial-arts masters, etc. I'm not sure if they'll show up here or not; I'm not as fascinated as I used to be, but who knows...

#14 Slug Vacation

#13: Robot Car

Well, I have an illustrated narrative class that I need to show progress in, so I'm going to update more frequently in the next couple of weeks to make up for being out of town last week and for my pitiful showing in March. That may mean more old material, including Mr. Robot Guy, especially since I have a hard time taking this seriously when other things like schoolwork intrude. Why do I do that? Because I like this, that's why. Which means that it can't be as important, right?

#12 Mixed Media!

#11: Regretberries!

Yay for friends who Know Art and told me how to improve the way these things show up on the Internets. Expect me to go back and fix some of the older stuff.

#10: RAINBOWS! Dinosaurs!

Comic #9: Boston Rejection

What I'm looking for in a comic strip made by me.

So, the comic is coming, but I find myself tied up with character sketches. I'm actually putting effort into the way that it looks! Not that anyone who sees it will be able to tell. The fact that I do it very hurriedly (because I want it to look that way) and that I do it in pen makes it hard to get it right, because one mistake and I have to start all over, a process which leads to what I call "artistic compromises" or "forced creativity." I do want it to look spontaneous - optimally, it will be spontaneous - but at the same time, I want peoples' hair to look cool. So, I thought that I would experiment with preliminary work, and it's been interesting, but it's also been taking time.
