"Ideas." (A.k.a. Visions of Cubans and Beatniks dancing in my Head)

Another "new" Strip.
I began work on "Ideas." this past summer, and completed a lion's share of it. Of course, like so many other strips, I lost interest and let it collect dust in my file cabinet.
Well no more!
Over the weekend I finished it up (Background inks, Book excerpts, cropping) and now it's up for your viewing pleasure.

Big ups to Samater for helping out (a lot) with the Grey-tones, that guy is good

"Holy Crap Fahad!" "Two Strips in one Week?!"

HELLO JIMMY!

Brand New Strip!
Well relatively "brand new", I actually started parts of this strip months ago and finished the rest last night.
But, as a whole, it's new and it's online! Yay!

(This is the strip I was talking about a few posts ago.)

Enjoy (A rant about the meaning behind the strip coming soon.)

What to do when you are sick and home alone...

As it so happens, yesterday and the day before I was DEATHLY sick (I don't know what with, there are whispers that there is a stomach virus floating around so we will just chalk it up to that.) and instead of staying in bed, and eating soup, I found it therapeutic to draw, and watch season one of Flight of the Concords.





Albeit, I DID end up staying in bed for HOURS, and ate my fair share of crappy, bland soup.

Though I think the page is pretty straight forward as is, here's a description:
-We start out with a pic of me, about to throw up (which I was actually spared from doing)
-the second pic (and accompanying text) is a bit more abstract. I've had the idea of a strip lampooning indie/scene/hipster culture for a long while (ever since living in Pittsburgh) BUT I don't know what it would be called or what format it would take. What I DO know is that all the characters would be Muppets (there isn't anything particularly deep there, I just like drawing fuzzy monsters.)
-the small logo on the bottom left hand corner is an I Kill Comics logo I've been bouncing around my head.
-And Finally, CHOWDER. Oh how I adore that show. (If you don't know who Chowder is, I suggest that you do a little research.)

well that's about it, I'm late for work I better go!
