Comic Panels





these are some panels from a Webcomic I've been developing for my illustration class.
they are two deceased characters (skeleton and trilobyte) and their mundane life in a Surrealist-netherworld.

Photoshop Tennis, Round 1

I hereby challenge Dustin R. Baird, to a duel of photoshop tennis!
The Rules and Regulations are as follows:
1. the match will start with a single image, "served" to the other player. the other player takes the image and manipulates it anyway they like. with photoshop, drawing, photography, whatever. the manipulated image is then returned to the other player who follows.
2. Each player will have 4 turns, (inlcluding the serve) before the match ends.
3. Each turn will last no longer than two days. (the sooner the return the better).
4. our objectives are to be humorous, or just make it look cool.
5. the returned image has to have at least one identifiable element from the previous image.
6. keeping the image in it's original size is preferred.
7. i think that's it.
8. oh, once the player finishes their work, they will post it on their respective blog.
here's your serve Dust,
good luck,

Web-Comic Round-Up

been reading a lot of web-comics lately,
in a post Watterson and Larson comics world,
the funnies in the paper just aren't doin for me anymore.
luckily the format has found new life online.
here are some of my favourites, some a value for their writing others their illustration style.
if you know of any other good ones, send 'em my way.

Dinosaur Comics: by Ryan North
the pictures never change, but the writing is good enough that they don't have to. the most Calvin 'n Hobbes-esque comic out there.

WONDERMARK: by David Malki !
David Malki re-appropriates old 19th century illustrations for his hilarious comic.
i had a similar idea once with these old cowboy illustrations i found, but he beat me to it.


Nedroid-Elegance in stupidity:
by Anthony clark
I really like this guy's style of illustration, and I think Beartato is a great character.
kinda quirky comics and illustrations.
