cowboy henk

recently heard Lizz Hickey and Keith Jones on inkstuds talk about cowboy henk. 

I had to google it and damn its pretty freaking awesome. I must grab myself a copy.

tezuka

 

I was really drawn to this page from Dororo by Osamu Tezuka  

The face tumor idea is something that I am playing with in a new short comic piece. I will update as time progresses.

I should be editing my paper...

 But instead of doing that I took my time to procrastinate and show some pictures. YAY

So this is my cork board, I pin things that I find interesting, inspiring or funny to me. I know people have blogs or tumblers but I prefer to have something physical. The old postcard, the stickers or photographs are all physical objects that have a more permanent meaning than most things I see on the internet. I kind of prefer it that way.

 

This hanging on my wall is one of the drawings for wanderlust. I think a lot of people were pretty surprised to learn that the original drawing for the comic was on a 19x24 inch piece of paper. All of it was done with crow quill pen nibs, a brush and ink.

I think I procrastinated enough for one post.

Wanderlust cont...

 

The final installment of wanderlust. I think this was probably the most consistent story I made. The zine has two extra pages of other content that I will not post. You will have to hunt one down to see what it is. 

Also quimbys wrote a nice little write up about it, check it out----->Link

I so want to get back into the rhythm of making mini comics. Once school wraps up I will hit the drawing board. 

 This song has been on my mind all day. So good. spike jones at his best with that video too.

Wanderlust part 2

 

Part 2 of wanderlust. Wait for part 3 next week 

 

Also on a side note I am loving the work of Till Hafenbrak. The strong geometric shapes that make up the characters and settings of his work are really quite impressive, very bold and simple. His use of coloring is also quite nice, they almost remind me of silkscreen posters or graphics from the 60s. 

things

 

I have been reading some stuff from tezuka lately, he stuff is pretty awesome. The page above is from dororo story about a man born incomplete, missing parts of his body and and his journey to get them all back. 

 

So I also had to design a logo for a 7-10 second animated spot in my broadcast design class. This is it right here. I think the large pomp sums up what I am all about right now. 

whut whut

I feel this is somewhat relevant, if not influential to the things that I draw.

Charles Burns, Zeloot, Jim Houser, Ana Bagayan

Just some images that I find inspiring.
