In an effort to continue forward, I decided to try my hand at a silent, one page comic. I wanted to see if I could tell a story with minimal narration, and still create an impact. As always with my own work, I have a hard time seeing the forest through the trees, but hopefully I was somewhat successful.

I went with horror as a theme as a challenge. I think this will be the last horror piece from me for a while. It lends itself to a very restricted, gloomy palette, and I think I need to keep pushing my boundaries. I've spent too much time in the dark recently.

I borrowed an Illustration Friday topic from a while back. Here is "Dusty":



On another note, I've revamped my comics section to make room for what I hope will be more wecomics.

I've decided to post my published comic stories online. I would like to continue to create short comic stories as time permits, and post them here. Perhaps when I have enough of them, I can scrounge together a limited print run or something. At any rate, here they are:

"The Spirits & The Woods", originally published in Fablewood Volume 1.


"The Last Voyage", lettered by Thomas Mauer and originally published in Popgun Volume 3 from Image Comics.

As promised, here's my guest strip for PC Weenies. Krishna's a great guy, and has been championing webcomics for far longer than most. You should definitely check out his site. Full of solid cartooning and humour.

I chose Facebook as the topic, as I think all the privacy issues that have come to light should force people to really examine what they're willing to share online. I had a Facebook account myself, but found all the reasons I didn't want to join in the first place to be true, and regretted it shortly after. Their privacy woes were the final straw in my closing my account.

This was done with traditional inks, with Photoshop colors. I try to push myself with each piece of art I create, and with this one the idea was perspective. It's a simple concept on paper, but I think a lot of artists (myself included) tend to over think it. Hopefully you enjoy!
