This past weekend was 24-Hour Comics Day<\/a>. I spent several hours at an Austin event organized by Zach Taylor<\/a>.<\/p>\n


A sample page from Zach’s current webcomic, Bear Quest<\/a>. I love how he does pixel art versions of each page.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I wasn’t there to work on a 24-hour comic – I just worked on a book-length comic, VORTEX<\/em>, that I’m now about 3\/8ths of the way through.<\/p>\n


I’m not going to show y’all any more of VORTEX<\/em> until the whole thing is finished.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The 24-Hour Comics Day event was fun (and productive – I finished [almost] four pages in the [little over] four hours I was there). I got to meet Jason Poland, who makes the webcomic Robbie and Bobby<\/em>, IRL after many online convos.<\/p>\n


This is a few panels from a Robbie and Bobby comic called “Wings”. Jason does all sorts of awesomely weird stuff like this in his strip, which he puts out several times a week.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I also met Austin Bedell<\/a> …<\/p>\n


This is a comic from Austin’s side project Vidyagame Library<\/a>, where he draws comic inspired by NES videogames.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

… Chris Sweet …<\/p>\n


This is a comic from Chris’s webcomic Effing Decaf<\/a>. He also did a great mashup comic with Zach called “16-Bit Breakfast”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

… and many other awesome local comic folks. I’ll probably continue to work on my own projects during 24HCD2012 but it’s great to get to hang out with a bunch of local cartoonists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
