Apologies for the mini-hiatus – normal service will resume forthwith. Reason for it is my lack of a second or third pair of arms to continue pencilling and inking as my current pair hammer out relentless tweets and emails to promote my Kickstarter human trafficking graphic novel project, which is now 53% funded with only 8 days to go! It’s a Staff Pick but could still use your help, , choose a reward and make that pledge!
In the meantime, here’s a snippet from my sketchbook from a recent interview yesterday with a survivor of human trafficking, sketched live and direct. I’m experimenting with different ways of working, and I have to admit, there’s something about the immediacy and roughness (like her chin) in the portrait that gives it a more intimate, personalized feel that would be hard to replicate in a photo portrait (or even a meticulously pencilled sketch, for that matter). Or should I just not draw straight to ink? You tell me (by hitting the comments button below).
At last! The whole education reform comic Adam Bessie and I did for Truthout has finally aired. Check out part 1, part 2 and now, part 3. If you’ve enjoyed them then: share/tweet/do all the social stuff AND chipin in via the widget below to help get us a print run off the ground.
Here’s a preview from my latest comic on trafficking in the South Bay, out now in the latest edition of the San Francisco Public Press. I’ll post a link when it’s up online. Read their excellent coverage of bay area human trafficking here. In the meantime, ink and colour is being slung on the second part of the Education Reform Comic for Truthout. Here’s the first part in case you missed it.
This weekend I’m back in Vermont for the Woodstock Digital Media Festival, where I’ll be part of the “Telling [TRUE] Stories” panel tomorrow at 11:45. For a full list of my fellow new mediaphile participants, go here.
