Helicopter Cat Mom 

Y’all, I drew my first-ever multi-page comic thanks to the guidance of @cartoonstudies. Please take a look! I hope you enjoy. I plan on coloring it in the near future but the line work is more or less locked in.

I received my copies of Who is The Silhouette today! It was awesome seeing everyone’s work, and the book itself looks great.

Who is The Silhouette is an anthology of superhero comics edited by Allison Bannister and Tom O’Brien, with each story featuring a different interpretation of the character introduced in this comic. It was a blast to contribute to, and I loved seeing everyone else’s take on the character.

Further updates about how to get copies of your own will be on both the Who is The Silhouette tumblr and on my own. So stay tuned!

Animation for Cartoonists!

Hello! I am a cartoonist who is teaching an animation workshop this summer at @cartoonstudies July 9-13

Because of my background, I will be paying special attention throughout the workshop to the various ways that the comics and animation mediums overlap!

I have found that there are many animation techniques that can be applied to your cartooning process to make it more efficient (and vice versa!).  

We will be looking at the work of cartoonists who worked in animation, and animators who drew comics!

Folks like Jeff Smith, who started an animation studio with two of his friends after college, creating 2D and stop motion animation, before launching his beloved comic book series Bone.

Or my comics hero, Carl Barks, who worked as an inbetweener and storyboard artist at Disney from ’35-’42 before beginning a 25-year career as one of the most popular and prolific American cartoonists.

We’ll also look at the work of Hayao Miyazaki who moved back and forth between anime and manga, serializing his Nausicaä story to build enough interest for it to eventually be turned into an animated feature.

There are only five weeks left to register for the class! It is open to students 16+ and there are need-based scholarships available.  CCS alumni can take the course for 50% off (email me for the code, or check the CCS message board).

It's gonna be so much fun! Come hang out with me for a week in Vermont this summer and draw and learn and draw and learn and draw and draw and draw!
