You know what, kiddo

I love my Sequential Narrative class. As well as my Sequential Narrative instructor, Blair Drawson. I'm so behind in his class though, I feel terrible about it. I think this might be the only class where I actually work my butt off for. Or at least have projects I'm actually proud of. I mean, I'm not completely happy with them (and that's generally the case when there are deadlines involved). But I like them.

ps. Please don't comment on the narrative text... my rhymes are pure cheese. HAHA


Project One: "What's that supposed to mean?"
We had to develop a story around that phrase. I really wanted to do a spread but Blair thought my story was better suited in panel form. I'm assuming it's because of the dialogue. I haven't scanned the final, but this is the illustration without the text.




Project Two: "The Hook"
It's 2 spreads of a narrative displaying an intense emotion. I chose anger and the time my brother ransacked my room. Again, ignore the rhymes... I am not a writer!






Project Three: "Personal Stories"
Comic panels, acrylic and digital



Project Four: "Myth"
It's a monologue by Persephone. It's one of my favorite Greek myths. To be honest, this one I did overnight. Those who know me can tell it's a little half-assed, and most definitely not my style. But I kinda like it in the end. I really like how the setting is abstracted and the forms are simplified. Blair liked it too and thought I should experiment with that a little more. - Acrylic and pencil on paper.





There it is...
Gonna go work on the 5th one now!

  1. HAHAHA that last one is a real hoot! and I know the words for the first one ;)

    The thing I love about your art is that it's always a narrative about your life which makes it such a personal experience looking at it.. didn't Sebastian have a quote about that in the year book? Or maybe that was you.. anyways, that second one is wicked, I think it'd be almost ready for publishing.. how did you do the text in the third one?
