comicsworkbook: Andrew White  “Drifting” Made for Comics Workbook This page demonstrates familiar White themes (self searching implied in looking at hand, ending with the “conclusion” of ambiguity over analysis; potentially it’s even non-sequential!), but is notable as a very clear little story contained in one page.  So much detail is able to be inferred out of […]

New 8 page comic for sale here. I originally made this comic to hand out at the MoCCA Arts Fest this year. Kris Mukai, Laura Knetzger, and Dash Shaw said some very nice things about it on the Young Talk podcast which was an unexpected and thrilling surprise. Thanks to Simon Moreton from whom I’m stealing […]

Here are miscellaneous panels from two drafts I’ve recently completed. Both are related to this story; I’m tentatively planning a print collection of stories about those characters. We’ll see. Now I think it’s time to circle back to For Lives, which needs some editing before it’s ready for print. Did you read Golden Smoke? It was […]
