Old stuff
My organization techniques are abysmal. I keep carefully balanced piles of papers on my desk, and my “files” consist of similarly chaotic boxes full of paper. It makes Colleen cry.
So, I was digging through these boxes the other day, looking for a missing page on my Ota Benga project, when I came across a bunch of old comics that I’ve never published, like the silent one I posted last week. I figure, “Heck, they’re shamefully bad, but folks can see my good stuff easily enough. It might be fun to put these up.”
I drew the comic below almost two years ago, during my first year at CCS. The class took a trip to the Montshire Museum, and the point was to use what one found there as the subject of a comic in which one would experiment with scale, making the protagonist either very large or very small. I chose the latter.
I chose not to color this comic for two reasons: 1) During the assignment, I was experimenting with black and white composition, and I think color would distract from that; and 2) it really isn’t good enough to merit the extra effort. So, with that said, here it is!
Enjoy!
I totally get why you don’t like this one, but I love it anyway. Especially with your ‘relationship’ with spiders. The concept is certainly fun (big props for the Einstein quote, btw) - I’d love to see you do something light and whimsical like that.
GAAAH!
