Walking Around in the World (Page 2)

The birthing scene is one of my favorite things I’ve drawn. I don’t know why. Everything just came out funny. I won’t say no pun intended because that would be lame. I think I was reading Guy Delisle’s Chroniques Birmanes when I started this. (Yeah, I read the English translation – Burma Chronicles.) I loved the innocence of his style. But I was turned off by how much he wrote about his baby and family…that is until I read Aline and Others and realized he’s just another weirdo comic book artist after all. In a good way of course.

Walking Around in the World (Page 1)

At the request of my fans sister and friend Alan, I’m posting  more from Walking Around in the World. Here’s page one for now. My friend Tim told me that it’s hard to tell what’s going on in the story, after which I fell into a deep depression. Not really, but  I did draw a nasty comic of him being a band dude cum critic. So if it doesn’t make too much sense, it’s because each page sadly took a day to finish & the flow always gets messed up when I don’t do it real fast.

Excerpt from “Walking Around in the World.”

Ok, so in the absense of being creative enough to come up with new material, I’m posting an excerpt from my graphic novel (Walking Around in the World) that I’ll never complete. Here’s a snapshot of my sister & I’s childhood – I inked this one today (so I know my sis hasn’t seen this one) to celebrate my sister’s birthday. We had an interesting (euphamism!!!) childhood. p.s. I already know my drawing skills are sub par, so don’t hurt my feelings by telling me so, will ya. Thanks.

Happy Birthday Sam!

Hopefully I can come up with another comic before tomorrow, since my sis already saw this one, but if not…fuck, sorry!

Investors!

Here’s an old comic.

Young Bob.

Trying desparately to come up with something for my sister’s birthday. Not feeling like much of a cartoonist these days. She demands a comic!

Review of Kramers Ergot #7.

I bought this as a gift for someone this past Christmas. Here’s an interesting comparative between art comics and the super hero stuff.

Old Bob.

Speech-Bubble-Less.

Here’s a portrait of my friend Jessica that I was trying to incorporate into a comic. I haven’t been doing so well at coming up with any stories, which is fine – the drawings are getting better.

Card for Jenny’s Birthday.

My French friend Jenny is having a birthday party this weekend. We met working at a lab in Texas in 2003. To my delight, she moved to Vancouver last year. Here’s a drawing for the front of the card I’ll be giving her.
