Comics.

So this is where my comics work is. At least the stuff I'm willing to have people look at. Most of the stuff here was done in college. Anything earlier is too painful for me to look at for longer than half a second. Keep checking here, since I post new stuff when I can. Comics! Whoo!

New(er) Thingies

UrbEx preview
UrbEx: A 24-Hour Comic (october 2007)
       This was my first successful attempt at a 24-hour comic, for the official event in 2007. I drew mine with a bunch of other kids at MCAD, and it was a lot of fun. Horrible, grueling fun. Included in the fun were pancakes, Rocky IV, and collective sleep madness. I should warn you, though, this comic makes no sense at all. I claim no responsibility for any deep meaning you may get from reading it.

Egg Head preview
Egg Head (june 2007)
       Just a  sweet little story I threw together for the 2007 convention season. It's an idea I had in my head for well over a year before finally drawing it. I almost guarantee that it's not what you'll be expecting from the title.

Saving Halloween preview
Saving Halloween: Little Girl Lost (february-may 2006)
              part one // part two // part three
       This was a thing for school. My senior project (or "thesis"), actually. It's the longest comic work I've completed to date -- 22 pages -- and was meant to be less of a standalone work and more of a prologue/first chapter for a longer narrative I'm working on and will hopefully begin to draw in earnest early next year. This will be rewritten and redrawn for the finished version, but the original is now available for reading. (The first part, anyway. The rest still needs to be toned.) Sections are a bit loady, as they're long, scrolling web versions.

The MCAD Years

How to Be a Superhero (october 2004-march 2005)
       A story with my recurring character Murphy. I was trying to do a really polished nice job, so it took FOREVER to finish. Some things turned out nice, but there's a lot of awkwardness to it. I don't worry about being as polished, anymore.

The Bleeding Tree (february 2005)
       Technically, this is a mini-comic like the ones below, but I put a lot of extra work into it. It's based (from memory) on a story from the book Lilith's Cave. There's a good chance I'll redraw it at some point. The main character looks sort of stereotypical because I had no reference.

Roommates (summer 2003)
       I drew this based loosely on my experiences with my roommate at the time. Maybe showing her as a cave troll would have been more accurate, but zombies are cool, right? Right?

Little Minis

ZGRULLS vs. BING BANG BOOM (spring 2005)
       This is actually a collaboration between myself and my classmates Barbara Guttman, Rana Raeuchle, and Anna Bratton. I did the cover and the first page, and they did the rest, respectively.

Raccoon #1 (spring 2005)
       The premise was to make a comic using animals as a metaphor for a life dilemma, so this is pretty much where I was that particular week. I meant to continue this in a series as the little raccoon went on her journey, hence the #1. Guess that never happened.

I Should be Sleeping Right Now (fall 2003)
       I was sleep deprived, and a mini-comic was due for class the next day. This resulted. Warning: very crudely drawn.
