South Dakota

(The world is an abstract comic, part 2)

Photobucket

I love the way those lakes cut across the grid of farmland--farmland whose plots of land are already establishing their own graphic rhythms. It's as if some of my blots invaded a page by Greg Shaw:

Thank you, Google Earth!

New mini!

I just finished an eight-page mini that, just to be contrary, I will not be posting anywhere online. I'm also interested in hearing from whoever might be checking this blog from time to time. I'll send a free copy to the first ten folks I hear from (via email, not comments)--but if you want to send me your own book in trade, that's cool too. You can find my email address in my profile, btw.

You can also try to get a copy from me at MoCCA, this weekend. I won't have a table, I'll just be wandering around. If you don't know what I look like, you can ask the people at the Blurred Books table (A 12) whether I'm around or not. And, oh yeah, I also have an eight-pager in "Blurred Vision 4," which will be debuting at MoCCA.

Arcana I (re)drawing

19 x 24, ink on paper. Compare.

And detail:

Redrawn by hand based on the digital original.

In case you're wondering, the original Arcana I was based on an ink drawing that I scanned in, then completely recut and re-arranged digitally. Here the redrawing allows me to cover up the seams and present a seemingly whole image that is really still a (clandestine) collage.

Ruins p. 6

Photobucket

For the previous pages of "Ruins," as well as for "24 x 24," the final image was digital. For this page, I've gone back to good old fashioned ink on paper. The picture above is taken from a snapshot, as I don't have a big enough scanner to fit a 19" x 24" board. I'll continue the project in this manner, and redraw the first five pages accordingly.
