CUT AND PASTED

For the comics MomentosFlying SoloSuper Duper Ham: Day One and Martian Debut, each element of each panel was drawn on paper and scanned into electronic form separately. This process made it possible to build, layer, and edit panel and page compositions in the computer.

Some of these partial images, as well as some previously unpublished work, were later combined in a series of digital and handmade collages. In contrast to the careful and methodical process used for the comic book pages, the creation of these new compositions was fluid and spontaneous. 

In 2011, I published a selection of these collages in a sketchbook called Cut and Pasted. When it came time to reprint the sketchbook, it took the opportunity to reassess how I am presenting this material and push myself to do better as a graphic designer. A 2nd edition was published in 2014 and a 3rd in 2021.

3rd edition, 2021. 116 black and white pages.
