After debuting at CAKE 2015 I’ve finally put the full issue of my comics zine “Free Books” up online. You can read it, as well as download a pdf, at http://chrisdaydesign.com/comics/freebooks01/ Comics journalism pieces about Little Free Libraries and Edgewater Reads along with additional single pages about libraries and books. Read and enjoy!
First of two one page autobio stories from Bad Chris #2 (September 2014) This and the second page are the pilot for a longer piece about my history of fainting that I plan to work on later this year
I've been meaning to post the comics I created earlier this summer as part of the SAW workshop with John Porcellino at the CHIPRC [see earlier posts]. Then this week ,with the death of Robin Williams, some amazingly honest comics that other artists have posted, and my own ongoing issues with anxiety and depression, it was time to get my ass in gear..
This story I called "Ever Again" when I wrote it, although today I may go with "Fiddler Crabs and Cheesesticks." It isn't about depression, but more about my ongoing fight with anxiety. It concerns two events. The first took place in the early 2000's and I once told it as a part of an improv show with the Pat Shay Dancers at iO Chicago. The main story took place this past May.
More comics will come soon. There is one other story from "Bad Chris #1" that I want to put up, and then I'm gonna start working on Bad Chris #2 this week.
Part 2 of my first mini-comic “Frankenstein And The Floating Pig Learn All About Libraries!”, a not-very-education adventure. Nonetheless almost every fact in it is a fact! Part 2 features a collection of my some of my favorite librarians (from fact and fiction) and some of my favorite special collections! As mentioned on the last page, I started this comic as a project for Corinne Mucha's comic book class at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago, IL and finished it in time for it to "debut" (for me to force it on some nice people) at SPX 2013.

Part 1 of my first mini-comic "Frankenstein And The Floating Pig Learn All About Libraries!", a not-very-education adventure. Nonetheless almost every fact in it is a fact! Part 1 features a special appearance by my colleague Librarian Jenn Smith of the School of the Art Institute's Flaxman Library. Part 2 features more librarian cameos and a glimpse of the collection I work with in the Special Collections at the Flaxman!
Part 2 Posts Tomorrow
Okay, so I'm going to start uploading my own comics to my tumblr. To whet your appetite, a piece from a recent illustration class I took. Here is card #18 from my dream project, the Goth Attacks card series. Each card will feature Mars Attacks style mayhem based on the classic Goth bands of my youth. To start (and the only completed illustration), The Cure in "The Spiderman Comes"!
