Barista Powers: Old School pt.12

I haven't been working on the comic for a while now, but I still fire off the occasional sketch at work, just like the old days.  This week I'll share my work doodles; don't expect much of a narrative.

Today: The desire to pass out at the register was almost overwhelming.

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?

A Rob by Any Other Artist

A whole team jumps in to explore the many ways in which I can be depicted artistically.  The last one is me to a tee.

Doodles

I sketched the counter at Barriques.

No Foam Is The Devil's Order

A Helpful Hint

 Dreaming of triangles.

 I'm not beyond using my notes for Social Engineering.

     That chart was at a customer request.

Sierpinski

 I didn't know how to draw a Sierpinski Triangle until Vi Hart taught me.  Then I drew them a lot.

 This is what a snowy road looks like.  True story.

 The introduction of Stick Rob.  Stick Rob originally appeared in the short lived series Stupid Roommate.

 This is my felted cicada, staring out the window.

 Broonies.  Also not very Sconnie.  The people need to know.

 I cannot stop explaining things!  I can't!  And so many people order mochas because it is a familiar word.

 Good to know.

 Diagrams are cool.  Don't scoff.

    Lessons.  Stick Rob.  So many firsts.  Or one.  But still!  Important foreshadowing of things to come.
