…this has nothing to do with the page….

-

I’m Watching Enrico Colantoni talk about feeling like you belong somewhere else as a kid, traveling from home to find work, and feeling guilt over making money in the arts on The Hour [mar 4 2010].

-

And he’s talking about making art in Canada with some kind of integrity. I think my version of that experience; Moving to a different city when i was 27 and trying to do that in general, led me to this story.

-

Yep. So what’s that going on up there eh? I have fond memories of inking this page. It was nice that day. My studio looked like this then.

-

At this point in the story, we start to see some actual gutters for the first time. I like the way they give these moments a more discreet feeling compared to when the images overlap or even merge. I’m kind of obsessed i guess, with studying page structure and trying to bend time with space.

-

It’s all rhythms and linguistic visual similes. When i dance at a club its about finding the space for your body in the music.

-

When i draw a page, i attempt to find the same for the story in that space.

Next page 2010/03/17, see you then!

PS:Some random sketchbook doodles
