As part of a graduate seminar, I’ve been asked to tear apart and reconstruct work of my own with that of others. I’ve cut up one of my semi-recent comics (which followed an R. Crumb-esque format) and supplanted it with quotes from notable thinkers and writers I’m reading.
I’m not sure I understand it. But I like it. Read it here.
Graphite + Digital, 2014
My second piece in an ongoing collaboration with my friend. This one was a response to a bit of piano he played and recorded. It’s based on this random clip about how foxes are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
I’m working on a Beast character (of the Beauty and the Beast variety) for a larger story and don’t know which of these five to go with. Which beast do you think is best?

And so shall I. With this piece, my Jeff Smith drawing series comes to an end. It’s been a rewarding ongoing challenge, the impact of which I think I have yet to see fully in my own work.
Drawing Smith has given me a sense of just how tight and careful a cartooning can be–especially in light of the Watterson series I did before this. It would be interesting to compare my experiences between the two a bit more.
But for now, a break and a shift of focus! I’ll work from another artist starting sometime soon. Whose work that will be is yet to be determined…
A new week of drawings from Bone! I’m getting to some trickier ones this week. Plus, Mermie. Take a look in my Smith sketchbook.

Time for another week of drawings from Jeff Smith’s Bone. Find them in Smith Sketchbook.
