The Maze Pg. 1

This semester one of the classes I'm taking is a graphic novel class.  My half of the class does the art, while the other half writes it.  Luckily for me I got paired up with my friend Kaitlin who is a fantastic writer and we set to work. :)

This comic is a short, 8 page story.  I will be uploading it one page at a time over the course of the next week.  It was drawn in blue pencil on 11x14 inch bristol board and then inked by brush with india ink and (rather disappointing) sharpie pens.

Ferris Wheels and Faraway Places: Adventures at the 1893 Chicago Worlds Fair

After a too-long absence from the blog-sphere, I return!
And guess what I have news about...


Later today (when I finish cutting and cropping and resizing my huge folder of images) my illustrated children's book will be sent off to Lulu.com for its rough draft printing!

And even more exciting than the draft printing, my book now has a title. "Ferris Wheels and Faraway Places: Adventures at the 1893 Chicago Worlds Fair"

For months I've been calling it "the book" and "the worlds fair thing" so a title was a much needed addition for this little project.  The title is all in thanks of professors who were able to think of titles less corny (and silly) than my initial idea of "ferris wheels and lightbulbs!"  XD
