Thinking about Maurice and the ways we hope for a better future.
Hey Guys! November sucks real bad but it doesn’t have to. Well, it may still suck but you can still make it to the other side.
Something a bit more lyrical this time. Working on my thesis (a big long comic) and getting really excited about different panel layouts. Also snow! Keep warm everybody!
Happy belated Halloween!
I wanted to try my hand at drawing something spooky since I’ve never done anything along the lines of a horror comic before. To do a bit of writerly reflection on the horror genre: to me it seems horror is an exaggerated management of rate of revelation. Horror tends to carefully balance the knowledge afforded to the audience to draw them into the climactic scare at which point the audience understands what they should be scared of and, hopefully, the story is all the scarier for it. What’s worse: the unknown horrors or the horrible truth?
