You guys. I drew a comic tonight. My first ever entirely with the Wacom tablet- no pencil/pen sketch ahead of time. Just a little experience I had in the car on the drive home tonight. Can’t fight Enya.

Reblogging my own comic from last night.

Welp, just finished work. Did my 9-5 and then came home, ate the rest of my lunch sandwich for dinner, and cut up narration for an indie doc my coworker is directing until I finished it just now. I understand that this is about the least stressful 12 hour day a person can work, since four of hose hours were basically in my own home, but still, 12 hours. 

Meanwhile, Bryant is still away at a shoot. Sometimes being employed and also being a freelancer is a pain. But whatever. It’s important to establish this stuff before we go totally freelance. 

I was looking at the Mac App store and saw this little guy and thought, “whoa! What cool, consumer-level video-creation-type app is this? What new videos will we all be cooking up?” Aaaaaand it’s a cooking app. A video cookbook, if you will.

Monday. Feeling antsy. Need to finish this stupid scene at work that I’ve been dragging my feet on like crazy. Then need to go home and cut up scratch narration even though I sort of don’t want to.

I went part time this summer to pursue other projects, and I hoped that most of those “other projects” would be me drawing comics with the windows open and Golden Girls on in the background. So far that hasn’t happened at all. I have a lot of little projects I want to get off the ground, like re-inking (in Photoshop) my old comic about my grandmother (the one that’s still alive) and just continuing on my works in progress. I’d also love to get a comics website up (not exactly for web comics, but just a place to host what I’m working on) and update my film website, as well. And get new business cards. Not that I’ve run out of the old ones by any means- they just look kind of crappy.

So this is a one page comic I finished for a food anthology. I’m not really good at making comics for anthologies, especially kid-friendly community-themed ones. I support the notion of them, but I just am not a good content creator on call.

But that’s exactly what this was. Colin at Trees & Hills asked me and my friend Tim to give him 1-3 pages to help fill out the new anthology. The thrust of this comic is supposed to be that when you’re younger, you eat fast food and junk, and then when you grow up, you eat healthier. I’m not totally sure that’s evident, but here it is. I’m mostly happy with the art- a little shaky on the content.

Sometimes at work, I put my headphones on just so I don’t have to listen to my coworkers talk about shit they actually know nothing about.

You guys.
Real talk.
I flippin’ love Cordelia.

Located my art history flash cards in a tote at my parents’ house.
