Work With What You Got

I've always loved drawing comic strips. I was 11 when I created Slick and I was eager to make books featuring my comics. Publishing books is very expensive. I didn't have access to a printer. I didn't have a computer. The internet hadn't been invented yet. 

So, I made my own books using what was available to me: No. 2 pencils, Felt tip pens, 5-subject notebooks and glue. 

Sure, technology makes cartooning more efficient and enhances the artwork. But you know what? Looking at those old drawings reminds me that, if you have the passion, all it takes is a notebook full of blank pages and a healthy imagination to make it happen.

Flashback Fridays: Prehistoric Slick

Weird Sketch Wednesday: Dogstar

Who's Slick and Trembley? They're my old comic strip characters. Check them out HERE.

Weird Sketch Wednesday

 Now, I use Dogstar as a comic strip device in my current comic strip, Roofus.

Flashback Friday: Happy Easter!

This is a page from one of my old Slick books. Happy Easter, everyone!

24 Hour Comic 2011: Charles in Charge

Here's page 11 of my 24 Hour comic in which I discuss family matters. Coincidentally, my brother's surprise visit coincided with my birthday weekend. It was really great. The two drawings here are the actual drawings by my nieces. You can see them on a previous blog post HERE.
