Old Guy

I found this in an old notebook from last spring. I was going through a big thought-bubble-for-non-cognitive objects phase.

All Kinds

Dressing Screen

I haven't made a comic since September! It's crazy! But, what I did do was make an 6x8' dressing screen, with water colored panels. Here's a video showing the process, and a couple of photos, too.

Portrait of my all time favorite philosopher and critic discussing friendship.

Pray Harder!

This is based on a bumper sticker my brother was telling me about.

I Totally God It!

I came up with the phrase by accident with David Drori one conversation. Several days later it came back to me while I was driving home from work and I couldn't stop laughing. It's such a perfectly empty phrase with just enough hook to it that it seems like it could be a hit in certain evangelical circles.

"I had a real struggle with sinning," for example, "But then I totally God it!"

Bigger Wheels

I'm left in fascination at Yakima's bizarre truck culture. Today tires bigger than me drove by holding up a truck the size of a small mountain. Even though I was driving a 1991 Jeep Cherokee, I still could not see high enough into the driver's cab to see what the driver looked like. God forbid a child should ever run blindly into the street, but, if it's to happen, with any luck it will be while this truck is on the road, as it'd graze right over the kid like a lawn mower without clippers.

Anyway, I thought I'd draw a comic depicting how the truck's lover might look and speak.

Frames!

The frames are strips of felt stitched together at the corners with lavender thread. The comic is mounted (via scotch tape) onto colored construction paper, which is hot glued to the felt. It's hanging on the wall by a bit of wire attached to the construction paper by hot glue.

The plan originally hatched to frame my comics was to find and use rickety old wooden frames at thrift and antique stores, but these frames I had in my imagination (gilded and tattered) proved to be more rare and expensive than I had guessed. But, I think these felt frames somehow work well, especially considering that they're basically trial runs, straight from my imagination in the past few days. I'm thinking about maybe sprucing the next few up with maybe a few more layers of felt added to the frame. But, we'll see.
