Thesis Guts

Having been in post graduation haze I forgot to post images of the insides of my thesis comic, Long Division. Here's to remedying that. While not perfect pictures, I think these spreads can give you an idea of the comic. They are some of my favorites, and make me a little nostalgic for the Pacific Northwest, where this story is set.

I am working on the advice I received during my thesis review and ironing out the kinks in the story before continuing it. It will be ready for reading eventually!

Graduation!

On Saturday May 18, I graduated from the Center for Cartoon Studies! It was a wonderful ceremony, my classmates looked flawless and all our thesis projects were amazing.

Speaking of which, check out the book design of my thesis:

I'm so grateful for the wonderful education and friendships I have gained from these past two years at CCS. You all rock!

Next on the agenda: Get a job, move, and keep making comics.

65 Pages

Yesterday I hit 65 pages penciled for my thesis project, Long Division! That's 61 pages penciled in 3.5 months (I completed the other four in the fall) I'm pretty excited, as you probably can tell, and I have about twelve more pages to pencil until I start inking. I'll only have the first half of the story done, but I can work on the rest after I graduate (!) in May.

CCS Year Two Assignment: Thesis Synopsis Posters

These posters are going to be hung up in the Center for Cartoon Studies gallery soon. The exhibit is for the seniors to display our thesis summaries that will accompany the presentations we are giving the whole school over the next few weeks.

Character Designs

I've been writing and editing the script for a long formet story I am writing for my CCS thesis (yet to be named) and doing these character sketches:
