Here are a few process shots from my new comic, M, which you can read here. 1) I wrote the narration first, with characters on facing spreads just like in the final comic. I wrote one character in French and the other in Arabic before translating back into English. That probably seems awful pretentious, but […]

Click here to read a new short story called M. It might be best read as two page spreads, but that’s up to you. I’m going to try sharing my stories this way for a bit instead of just posting them to Tumblr. The $0+ price is just a function of the way Gumroad works; […]

30dayscomics: November 30 Andrew White Here is my final strip for #30dayscomics. You can read the rest of my work for the month here. Maybe best to read from the beginning? Or reading it in reverse might be interesting too.

A few photos of the comic I’m working on now. Ink on duralex transparencies. I’m having a lot of trouble with this one, I think in a good way. Changing directions several times, simplifying a lot.

Did Comics Workbook the Magazine give up on printing comics? Looks as if #6 (like #5) will be all text pieces. I liked the way #4 had a bunch of short strips.
It’s interesting, some people really liked the comics being included and others not at all. We decided to try going all text for a few issues (#3 also had no comics) for a few reasons. First, it’s harder to edit comics than text, and while it’s important to let people do their own thing and […]
Riding the tail of Derik’s question: Would you tell us a little more about how specific influences play a part in your work and process? You’ve mentioned Mondrian, shoujo and shonen before, what about them do you find yourself referencing? (Here’s where I admit complete ignorance of manga, so anything on that subject will be totally new to me.)
(Derik’s question is here, for anyone following along) Yeah, the story that I’m finishing up now is very consciously influenced by Mondrian and shoujo in terms of layout and pacing. A structure where panel size and shape became integral to the work seemed a logical next step after a long time using primarily grids, where […]
