Just a bear and an octopus wearing hip hats, stranded on a moon made of cheddar.  A couple years back I had notions of doing something with these characters, but nobody was really into them. My mom seems to like them though, hence the timing of this sketch.

Well after way longer than I expected and about 5.5 seasons of The Simpsons in the background, my Bartkira pages are done and fully colored for some reason. I think I took it way too seriously, but I wanted to draw each page how I would draw them in one of my own comics. No tracing, no rulers, just a lot of eyeballing. Can’t wait to see the whole book!

Now to get to all of the other work that’s been backing up…

These are amazing!

How Graphic Novels Became the Hottest Section in the Library

According to old stereotypes, it shouldn’€™t work - serious librarians should want nothing to do with the raucous, pulp world of comics - €”and for a long time it didn’€™t.

Two of our favorite things!

I work as a circulation assistant in the library for an art school, and it’s been difficult to convince the librarians to add more comics and graphic novels to the collection. Hopefully an article like this will help promote the medium in these kinds of environments.
