Three full days of planning, drawing, coloring:

This is pretty much it...didn't present today but will debut this at full size about 20x20 inches) next Tues. Coloring is hard and takes forever! I think the narrative suffered with the loss of color on most of the frames-- Heath was supposed to be introduced visually in the second frame and identified throughout by his strong red color. Oh well. The next project is a full-on stone and wood fantasy ax, no holds barred as long as its made of natural materials, and we can use power tools to make it. It'll be a four-week project. By the way, I TOTALLY killed in the real life cutting competition, demolishing the piece of pine in 4 mins 10 secs...no one else finished, and the event was ended after 9 minutes. Comments welcomed!

Comic with title, text

Here is the comic, pretty much done, in black and white. For class this week we had to imagine ourselves as cavemen discovering chipped stone tools. We had to make a stone cutting device (sharp rock) with our hands and document the process. This comic is my documentation. I went to Rocky Hill to get the rock that I chipped away at...notice mention of this in the comic! Any suggestions on the drawing or written part are welcomed. I'm going to try and color it now...if I fail I'll just bring this version.

Another comic!

I'm doing this for my Design Methodology class and I have to color it tomorrow. I haven't finished cleaning it up yet. Its about a cave man named Heath who is the first one in his cave town to make a cutting instrument out of a rock. I wish I had used ink-- the pencil is becoming a pain in the digital phase. Oh well, I think I'm doing another next week. Cheers!

Some stuff to look at

When I began planning my thesis,(which begins in 2 weeks!) I made this strip to visualize a rough schedule. It got me excited to make more, better looking strips, with more exciting content. It was fun to make.


Here are some weird color alternatives for the Device with Screen that I post some time ago:



Sketchbook drawing of some things in our apartment: funny, this looked good the last time I saw it...


Here is a white pencil drawing I did on a little piece of black paper. I wanted to make a pendant or something out of it, but it was too small to make out of sculpey.

Shed illustration

I made this image for the shed project and had to rush it, which was irritating. Much more planning was necessary. I stole the background trees from a photo, everything else came from a drawing I did.

T'burgs coming alive!

Did some good ol' pencil animation today...

JT Sketches as Animation

I overlapped all the Jason T'burg sketches I made and it magically becomes a (rather discontinuous) animation. Not so great in YouTube format...
