Distraction Is Kind Of A Theme

Yep.  Still dealing with events and this journal.  I am 15/300ths of the way through.  Wassat?  1/20th of the prompts are complete.  Check it out!  Art Majors doing math.  I do not use fixative; you can see quite a bit of the drawings beginning to transfer to the their facing page.  And, when I have used ink, bleeding through to the back.

More Things That Distract Me

Once again, I have been drawing, but no comics!  The past two weeks have been an event & event preparation at work.  I have not worked in a cafe in two weeks!  Just for funzies, I was also sick all last week.  Still have a bit of an ear infection.  Good times.  Good times.  When I am not a terrible plague zombie, I have slowly been tackling that blasted drawing prompts journal.  Enjoy!

PSA, Revisted





The week I put these up, I was not working in the cafes.  I actually went to work early to sneak these onto the Black Dragon machine.  Having left the PSA up two days in a row, my brain asked "what is Chris going to say?"  That guy is an instigator.  I knew he would complain about getting a comic two days in a row, so I wrote the second panel as a rebuttal.  That solution introduced the problem of asking the audience if the considered me to be a there for their amusement.  The answer was obvious.

PSA



For over two weeks, all the cafes on campus will be closed.  This causes a lot of panic, but I do my best to prepare my beloved customers.

Spice Magic








As is the case with most Maren-centric comics, this really happened.  Well, maybe not that last panel.  That last panel should have happened.  How can you make a movie called Spice World and not mean Arrakis?  Tomfoolery.  And to be honest, there were a few pro-Spice Girls customers present.  There was already a lot going on, okay?

There is a lot going here, part 2.

Some more house cleaning.







There is a lot going on here.

As you may have to put together by now, my organizational skills are not often actually put into practice.  I have, in searching for a specific piece of paper, found quite a few random pieces of paper.  Would you like to go on this journey with me?


I am pretty sure that Kenny drew this.  He has drawn my death more than any other coworker.



With great frequency, Maren exclaims "Rob!  Do you know what you should draw?"  She then goes on to ramble on about whatever has most recently crossed her stream of consciousness.  She sometimes goes as far as mostly drawing a comic.  This is one such time.








Sometimes I just can not complete an idea.  Mostly I get stuck searching for a solid last panel, though on occasion I trip up on moving my characters from the beginning to the end.  Sometimes I scrap the entire idea.  Other times I will shorten a six panel comic down to three panels.  On this comic I needed all the panels to show off the portal system... and so I ended on a skeleton playing guitar?
