THE DROP

I did a 10 page comic for a school assignment.  It is formatted to fit a 1440 X 900 monitor when viewed full screen.
Click here to download a 7 MB Pdf, or view it online as a slide show here.
Below is a small version of all 10 pages.
I envisage the character's helmet being wired for sound.  This is what would be playing during the descent.

ANGOULÉME

The Angoulême International Comics Festival in France is a pretty big deal. Over there they kind of look at it as an art form. In North America there is a disproportionate amount of superhero comics. It's kind of like if, at the Oscar's, there was just action movies - Lethal Weapon winning best picture. Then you go over to Europe and see all this other beautiful stuff.

They recently announced their short list of the best stuff of the year. There are half a dozen or so books who's publication language was originally English. The rest, I'm not even sure if you can get them over here. They look pretty, though. Click on the covers for a closer look, then click again for a brief description, if your French is okay. So cool to see all the different styles that are represented. You'll notice a complete absence of capes, as well...

Artist Kyle Baker recently decided not to renew ownership of his website's domain name, reasoning that for a contemporary artist, there is no reason to have one. He discusses his reasoning in a post on his blog.

NAUT

Whilst working in Photoshop I happened to turn off a couple layers to see what's what. Thought I'd save the happenstance for posterity:

There are aspects of the rough(s) that I like better than the final, but I think it stands on it's own...
