Pocket Zines and Octo-pulp

So, the octopus comic book has turned into a pocket-zine mini-comic sort of deal. Oh, and it's sci-fi poetry. Just thought everyone should know. A verse from the mini-comic:

"Thighs heavy with water, I trudged
Down the center of the street,
The crack in the asphalt widening between my strides."

Why has this become the structure, you ask? Well, I learned a long time ago that I really am not the best at sequential art that is very plot driven and/or paced in a certain way... My comix convey messages and have narratives that are short and to the point. So, I figured, I'll actually complete these mini-pocket-comic-zine things better and faster than other longer projects I do.

Whew! Anyway. Speaking of longer projects, here's a picture of Fuzz the Cynical Bunny on the computer:



And for giggles, someone has compiled covers of old pulp comix that involve OCTOPODES..... it's amazing.

Photo test!

Okay, so I don't know if this looks as awesome as I want it to, but it does do a good job considering this sketch is supposed to be rough anyway... I dunno. What're people's thoughts? iPhone photo uploads a no-go?

This is so meta.

So now I've got an app for my iPhone as a way to make it so I blog about art and politics more. It's probably just more clutter but I guess that's the point huh!

New comix coming soon!

So, there are a variety of new comix in the mix, coming on up! For one, I have a strip I've started that the first one is ALMOST done.

I know, I know. ALMOST done? WTF, Katie? But the truth of the matter is, I've been SO BUSY that I'm lucky I even drew it. I've been struggling to edit some of the imagery in photoshop... I tried this new schtick and it's the one thing holding me up. I promise it's coming soon.

Next, I have an IDEA for a comic book. Just one single comic book. No words. And it's about octopodes. So, I'm pretty excited about that. Soon as I finish writing this post, I'm gonna do some sketches and thumbnails. I'm thinking it'll be my usual dorky sea creature educational jazz. You'll love it.

Anyway! That's that for now. I'll try updating with something of more substance next time, you know, like an ACTUAL COMIC.... :)
