Basil + Gideon #2: These woods, they are a-cursed
Does everyone else have the urge to escape real life by running away to the woods, or is that just me? Forests in fairytales (and in a lot of western literary tradition) are where society ends and wilderness begins. They’re dangerous places full of witches and wolves, where anything can happen. But I think that if society has a hard time finding a place for you, the wilderness can sound pretty good.
Basil + Gideon is an ongoing narrative comic, if this is your first time reading check out the first installment here!
Ready for the World: Foot in the Door Pt. 1
This week, I got to discuss the animation industry with Leila, a fellow art student whose portfolio can be found here. We talked about the shift from 2D to CGI, the cost of getting your name out there, and how weird it is for strangers to see your portfolio. There’s more to the conversation that I want you all to hear, so I’m splitting this into two parts. Next week: the realization that nothing is guaranteed and the best of plans can go awry.

Hey guys! Sometimes critiques are helpful, who knew?
Basil + Gideon: Some people hate endings…
I hate beginnings.
Hey all, welcome to this on going comic series about two lads lost in the woods. I went back and forth on how to start this story for forever. But one of the cool things about comics and about writing in general is that there really are no rules (some folks might tell you there are, but you don’t need to follow them). If I want to, I can introduce my setting with a welcome to town sign and I can have one of my main characters fall off a train to get into said setting, and isn’t that the fun of it?
