Today, I met with artists in a studio, got rather drunk, and helped create two collaborative paintings. I celebrated having been cast in three different upcoming shows here in Portland (in minor, chorus roles – but I’ll be on stage again!), talked about comics, shared my work, and made new friends.

A good day.

On May 18th, 2014 I also published The Jon Hamm Dream.

CW: Body horror, paralysis, nudity

The bottom panels are totally my attempt at a Chris Ware-esque diagram.
This page was probably the most fun to draw of this series.
The reveal
The repeated, digitized face is very inspired by xeroxed indie comics of the 80’s.
This page is an experiment in moving from a style rendered with brush to one rendered with ink in an attempt to differentiate between the dream and the waking world. I’m not entirely sure it was successful, but this is a technique I will likely revisit.
