So I'm Starting a Comic Strip

And I'm even illustrating it myself! I can't do much until I get myself a new pad of Bristol, but here's a primer of the protagonists! Their names (from left) are Samuel, Rad, and Tay. They go to private school, and hang out on the playground and generally look at the world the way kids do (or at least the way I do pretending to be kids). As you can probably tell from their character concepts, they come from three very different backgrounds, and a major part of the strip will be the prejudice of their parents viewed through the progeny, and the misfit children's views on the world. I'll probably spend the next week further developing the characters, and I'll post more info on them as I go! And hopefully after that I can set up a good system for an update schedule, and be like a real comics artist!

Here's the three:

Working title for this strip is "Motley". Or maybe "Motley Private School", but that sounds a little Manga-Highschool-Drama like. "Motley Academy"? I'm open to suggestions, guys!

New Comic in the Works!

I wrote the first 4 pages of a collaborative comic that was hopefully going to be at SPACE this year. If you happened to be at SPACE this year, you'll notice that I wasn't. But no worries! Because now my friend V over at Time Enough for Lunch is illustrating for me, and it's going well. And it also turns out I wrote more like 10 pages. Anyway, watch for more updates here on how that is going, and if you haven't read Infinity Machine yet, it's at MSU library, or you can still buy a copy, until my limited run sells out. By for now, kids!

Addendum: if you browse V's archive, you will see that she has also re-illustrated Inkwell and Smokestack and Sickle Find Another Reason to Tri p on Peyote from Infinity Machine. That is because V is awesome and I can't draw. That is all.
