Just finishing up the last page of part 1 of my graphic novel, featuring the White Horse tavern in NYC. Click here for more of an intro to the project. The above panels continue on from the last post and feature a conversation between Harry and Kwame, two idealistic NYU students, about the effectiveness of art as a tool for political change.
Yet another busy week, though I’ve managed to claw some hours back to sit down at my drawing board and hammer out some more hardhats pages. What is Hardhats, you ask? It’s my graphic novel about the May 1970 NYC riots led by construction workers who were protesting against the rising anti-war student movement/New Left. Check out the Hardhats page for more info. Why is that the longer pause between pages, the more hatching and detail you put down on the said pages? Above is a sneak preview of a sample panel from Hardhats, which I’m 3 pages away from completing the first part of, including a brand new prologue.
