Rejects

I've done a few comics lately that I wasn't so satisfied with so I didn't post them on my comics tumblr. But I thought I'd post 'em here, so enjoy!

Warm up

For the sake of blog updatery, here's a doodle from my sketchbook.

yuppy fight!

This is one of the first journal type comics I ever drew, back in 2006ish. I actually drew maybe ten or fifteen comics like this and then stopped abruptly for some reason and didn't try my hand at this kind of thing again for quite a few years. Right click for slightly improved legibility.

Daniel Rabel

Here are some wonderful designs for grotesque characters and costumes by the French painter and engraver Daniel Rabel (1578-1637) from the always-great-for-a-browse RMN site. A few of my favorites below.

Miss Beverly Glick and the Case of the Mysterious Assassin

Below is one of the first comics I ever drew, from I think 2006. It's called 'Miss Beverly Glick and the Case of the Mysterious Assassin.' Nowadays I post all my comics online immediately after I've made them. But with this comic, and all of my earlier comics and drawings, I would work for months without showing anyone anything. I don't know if the final art is better or worse for that, but it certainly is the product of patience.
