Terrible art? Yes! Terrible humor? Yes! Yet, it is somehow still entertaining. This is a (digital) scrap I threw together tonight. I really should have done a worthwhile painting or something else with my time, but I felt like playing with the tablet. It’s not yet late enough for good creativity to set in.

And yes, those are paper clips for limbs.

Yes, it looks like the graphics tablet will get a workout in 2008. Despite that vector art is a much better medium for comics, I decided to make this one in GIMP. Sure, the artwork is pretty much terrible and the humor is ill, but it’s mine and I had fun making it!

They’re dancing in the new year. The thumbnail links to the huge full size version, just in case you are weird like me and make it your desktop background. Hope everyone has a good 2008!

This is another comic I did with my graphics tablet. It’s definitely not the funniest of ideas, but the content allowed me to be a terrible artist and get away with it. You can’t turn down that opportunity.

I have several more ideas written on paper, and probably half of them sketched, but I don’t know if I’ll take the time to make them digital. It’s easy to make everything look “perfect” with vector art, but I don’t like that look. I like a comic to have some personality and flair. Unfortunately for me, my personality comes out looking like scribbles done by a toddler.

This is a remake of the astronaut comic I did quite a while back. I actually created this back in June, but I did not put it online right away. I was planning on doing a bunch of comics so I could regularly post one every week, but everything else has been keeping me busy too. I decided to go ahead and post this now and then I’ll probably post another comic in a week or so. I don’t anticipate this becoming a regular feature though.

The difficult thing with comics is simplifying them. I tend to go overboard with details, but when I try to simplify them they look like scribbles done by a toddler. Toddler scribbles can be interesting though, so I’ll post the odd comic here and there.

This is a photo I took of an alley in Bellingham, Washington and then modified in Photoshop. I kept the trees green and changed everything else to a sepia-style tone, playing on the difference between nature and man-made objects.
