Ok, I think I've put off making one of these topics for long enough... I'll start from really far back (1999) and move forward from there. I haven't scanned/photographed every little sketch, mind, just the more important stuff... although there's not that much stuff, really. I'm not as prolific as many of the people here. This is also uploaded or will be uploaded at Newgrounds and DeviantArt. Plush Tiger (1999)  House (2000)  Sax Sound (2000; changed the colours digitally, 2009. Original)  My Room in 2001 (2001)  Birds (early 2002, watercolor)  Inuit Sculpture (2002). Info about the sculpture: Audla (Aullaq) Cape Dorset, 1965 Stone and ivory, height 7" Manitoba govt. (Twomey collection)  More coming... |

Some comics (the three at the bottom are recent): "Nighttime Visitor" (Sept. 2007, a parody of this commercial)  "Masks" (late Sept. 2007, a parody of university life)  "Geese" (Oct. 2007 - I tried to be random in this one)  "Photograph" (late Oct. 2007)  "The Song" (Feb. 2008)  "Mr. Toof's Guide to Life" (Sept. 2008)  "Mad Scientist" (June 2009)  "Afghan Ambassadors" (July 2009, based on this NYTimes article)  "The Newest Craze" (July 2009)  (I think I'll wait until the price goes down) ---- Some comments would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. |

John and Mary had never met before, much like two hummingbirds who had also never met before.

Thanks Relym. Here's a new one:  Americans truly do have by far the highest incarceration rate in the world. They also seem to lack a sense of irony. This is by far the most graphically-simple comic I've ever made. I think it works for this particular concept, but I can understand if you're disappointed. I'll go back to more complex-looking stuff later. P.S. I hope Mal doesn't see this one, or there's gonna be a thunderstorm.  |

One thing the simplicity of the last comic does is it doesn't compete with the message whereas a more detailed drawing of America would have overwhelmed the hand with the money. Because there was more detail in those bills it caught your eye, also placing it on the right side of the screen gave it more visual weight. Great job!

Nice comics. Perhaps some color would give them more punch.

Wow, I didn't know that. A quick google made me believe it though... what a weird way to write judgement :/. Well, then I have nothing else to say, except that it is just slightly strange you should write judgment in the American way, and colour in the British way but oh well... |
