A four-panel black-and-white comic labeled “MadScott.”

Panel 1: A simple outdoor scene with a small tree on rolling hills. Text reads: “I remember drawing comics as a creative outlet.”

Panel 2: A glass sitting on a surface. Text at the top reads: “Recently I draw more as a form of social therapy.” A speech bubble from off-panel says, “Let me refill that cup.”

Panel 3: A bearded person looks forward with a neutral, slightly weary expression. Three boxed captions around them read: “WE’RE ALL HERE,” “SITTING IN THE STEW,” and “TOGETHER.”

Panel 4: A small figure walks away across a simple landscape. A thought bubble reads: “I’m ready to go back to those earlier days maybe for just a little while.”

The comic reflects on shifting from drawing for personal creativity to using it as a way to process shared social stress, with a nostalgic longing for simpler times.

Together

Let's just sit and refill each other up from the well of hope.

While you’re waiting

I’m in something of a frantic prep-mode for Fall Comicon. I have comics to scan and post but I have put that on hold so I can get some neat stuff done for the show. I’m going a slightly different direction from previous shows. I’ve scrapped some of the fan art I had (outside of sketch cards) and am putting out more of my art. As such this years book marks look more like this. fallcon_bookmarks

Voice of Reason

For future reference, it’s not impossible that I may be the voice of reason, but if you ask me for ideas on what’s reasonable I will almost always suggest some combination of the following.
  1. Get pizza instead.
  2. Maybe limit the number of fingers you might lose to one.
  3. If the fire only takes off hair then it’s not a big enough fire.
  4. You are only going too fast if you also need to turn. If no turning is needed keep going forward.
  5. An angry bear is only dangerous to people to proud to trip a friend
  6. You can put your boots in the oven but that don’t make ’em biscuits
  7. If you can’t solve a problem with a hammer you clearly need a bigger hammer

Aug. Addition of the state of things

It’s been too long and the pile of comics I need to scan keeps growing. I’ve been posting some photos of them over on the facebook page and on instagram but I want to get clean versions posted here. I am also in the process of signing up for a few shows and will put up a list once I get a confirmation. I believe I will be doing a couple of traditional craft shows as well as a couple comic shows. ** I’ll post again soon

New things

I stumbled into some cool little bags and decided to try them out as dice bags. If you see me at MSPComicon you have a shot of buying one. dice_bag
