Notebooks.

I’m thinking about writing a post that has to do with notetaking or sketching, whatever you might call it when you’re jotting down creative ideas.

I’ve come to realize recently that I purchased dozens of sketchbooks and filled the first three or four pages, only to have them sit on the shelf never to be looked at again. However since I’ve started taking notes digitally, as well as drawing entirely on the computer, I have created hundreds of text files, and easily done 20 times as much drawing as I had done before I started using digital tools.

Has this happend to anyone else? Am I an edge case?

The Chairs’ Hiatus - Part 3 just started.

I just posted the first few pages of the third and final part of The Chairs’ Hiatus a comic that I’ve been working on. I’m so excited to be in the home stretch of this story. You guys should be too! Just look at these amazing things to come:

find out out what happened between Mary and Nel that caused Mary to be in the state she’s is now.
At least one panel of someone running.
Someone saying the phrase “‘This’ meaning our relationship.”
Possibly a drawing of a motel!

Woo boy!

Wow. How many diary comics out there on the internet can say something like that and then provide a link to the strip drawn 10 years before? (via American Elf)

I’m on a hunt. I’m on the hunt for people who are doing comics online the way that I want to read them. They have to be out there.

From what I understand, web comics haven’t grown up the way everyone thought they would the last time I was playing in this medium. Longform comics are the exception, and short one day per day strips are the general rule.

I don’t have anything against serialized self-contained one page comics. In fact, years ago I can remember lamenting the fact that such a thing have mostly died off. But what I enjoy reading the most are longer form comics where the pacing is more more akin to that of a feature film then a short film.

I truly believe there has to be an audience out there full of people like me. So will someone please point me to the blog I can read that introduces me to all these wonderful stories? Or even just send me a link to something?

Futuristic buildings from a comic book

I remember tomorrow. Tomorrow was going to be huge. Tomorrow was going to dwarf we who brought it into being. Tomorrow was going to be a monument casting a shadow large enough to shelter us all.
