The statue was drawn for panel 4 on page 3 and the background image was drawn for panel 4 on page 23 of my 2009 comic Flying Solo. This comic combined blind-contour drawing with photography. I ended up using straight photography for the panel on page 23, but I hung onto the drawing of the...
The figure was drawn for panels 1 and 2 on page 7 of my 2009 comic Flying Solo. The boxers were drawn for panel 5 on page 16 of my 2010 comic Martian Debut. The images were collaged together in 2011. I don’t remember why I blackened out the boxer on the left for the collage. I...
The figure was drawn for panels 1 and 2 on page 17 of my 2009 comic Flying Solo. For this collage, I trimmed off his hunch. The Jeep was drawn for panel 2 on page 26 of my 2010 comic Martian Debut. These straight red lines, like those in the collage in my previous post, were drawn...
The figure was drawn for panels 2 and 3 on page 16 of my 2009 comic Flying Solo. The Jeep was drawn for panel 3 on page 27 and panel 1 on page 29 of my 2010 comic Martian Debut. The two images were collaged together in 2011 and I added white paint in 2015.
For my early comics, I designed the covers after I had finished the interior pages. I really liked this image of the idealized man falling during a scene on pages 12 and 13 of Flying Solo. I thought this image, coupled with the title, would make a bold cover. Maybe it would make potential readers...
The figure in the foreground of this collage was drawn for panel art in my 2009 comic Flying Solo. You can find it in panel 8 on page 12 and panel 1 on page 13. The original inspiration for this pose was a drawing I made of Daredevil several years before. That original drawing became...
I drew the hand touching its reflection for panel 2 on page 7 of my 2009 comic Flying Solo. The background was an unsatisfactory sketch, maybe from 2003. I filed it away, thinking I could use it for something at some point. That something was a collage in 2011. I added the white paint and...
The faces in this collage came from artwork made for my 2009 comic Flying Solo. You can find them in panels 5, 6 and 7 on page 12. This comic was written as a series of scenes that were joined by various dream-like transitions. When I started putting collages together in 2011, I started discovering what...
This collage uses artwork made for my 2009 comic Flying Solo. On top we have panels 4 and 5 from page 5. I ended up not using this picture of me drawing myself in the mirror. These pages in the comic explore how the protagonist imagines his idealized superhero, then an idealized version of himself...
