New Pages

Happy Friday everyone, we’re back from the beach and I’ve got two more pages in the hopper. Wanted to include the last three spreads for anyone new and for my own benefit to see things in continuity.

Obviously not done with these two(above) but happy with them so far. I’ve played it straight with the page on the right. A nine panel grid is just too much to monkey around with the layout like the past pages. I don’t know if this breaks what I have going on or not, or if it can just coexist without explanation. I suppose it’s alright to oscillate between the more difficult pieces to read and the very clear. Variety is something subconsciously I look for when I flip through any comic or magazine. Magazine’s thrive on it but comics, more often than not, seem to get stuck in monotony. Which I get it, the things inside the panels change just like the words inside the balloons, but you have to slow down to actually read it to tell. I’m all for a close reading, but I also want to punch people right in the face with something they’ve never seen before, maybe this is a problem? Who am I kidding, of course it’s a problem! But that’s the whole point of the work, to work out the problems and raise the grade of a medium by doing so.

Thanks everyone who submitted their work to me last week! Responses will be incoming if I haven’t emailed you yet. See you next week!
