Chainsaw Guy (a guy I know from the message boards on my old comic strip American Elf) finally met me in person at the Stumptown Comics Festival, and then drew a strip about it.
James Kochalka posted my comic!

Hey tumblr, sorry I’ve been ignoring you lately. I have another comic from class I had been planning to finish before I posted, but I’ll just scan it and post it as is sometime soon. To make it up to you, here’s my American Elf tribute comic.
I drew this on December 31st, the day James Kochalka ended his 14 year run on American Elf (commonly considered the first journal comic, except for by a few people who are very wrong).

A Boy Named Sue adaptation
Here’s another class assignment. We were told to choose a song, poem, movie, or whatever and adapt it into a comic. Obviously I chose a song, and went with A Boy Named Sue (written by Shel Silverstein and made famous by Johnny Cash). You can read the finished five page comic over at Chainsaw Comics.
Ghost Stories Trailer
I haven’t posted anything here in a while because instead of working on smaller projects for class, most of our time has been spent working on our final project. I made a 16 page minicomic called Ghost Stories. The book is now available to order on etsy. Here’s the trailer:

Mixed Media Comic
The assignment was to do a four panel comic, using a different medium for each panel. We were each given a figure to draw, and were told to draw it from a different angle for each panel. My figure seemed to be a repainted He-Man character named Crawful. I used watercolor for the first panel, markers for the second, pen and ink wash for the third, and scratch board for the fourth. I focused more on the art this time around, and made up a story for it after it was done.
Tarzan Jokes Comic
This comic was for an in class exercise where we were told a series of Tarzan/ elephant jokes, and were each assigned one to turn into a three panel comic strip. For this one to make any sense, you need to know two of the jokes that came before it:
Q: What did Tarzan say when he saw a herd of elephants running through the jungle?
A: ‘Here come the elephants running through the jungle!’
Q: What is the difference between en elephant and a plum?
A: An elephant is grey.
tumblr resized the image, so if it’s too small for you to read, here’s the text:
Panel 1: What did Jane say when she saw the elephants coming?
Panel 2: Here come the plums!
Panel 3: (Jane is colorblind.)
I have a couple more in class exercises to post, but I still need to ink them.
