From the Archives: Bean

Today I'm going to do another From the Archives post! This is a thing I started in March 2012, and ended in March 2012, but I decided to do another one today.

This comic is called "Bean" It was started sometime in 2008, and I wrote three (and a half) of these books until 2010. The stories were about a lima bean who went on lima bean adventures.

I've scanned some spages for you here. The first two are pages 6 and 7 of the first book, "One Courageous Lima Bean," and pages 10 and 11 of the fourth, unfinished book.

 So, yeah. This is how my mind worked when I was 10.

From the Archives: Moogie and Snat

For this week's From the Archives, I've got Moogie and Snat, a comic strip I created in 2008. The strip was about Moogie the cat and Snat the mouse, two best friends who lived in a city with many other street animals. They became friends when Snat saved Moogie from being hit by a car. Soon, Moogie's cat friends came to see him as a lunatic.

Here are a couple pages from the book:

In fourth grade, children's book illustrator Scott Nash visited our school. I got to meet him personally, thanks to my math teacher, and showed him a "portfolio" of my stuff. The portfolio contained several bad sketches, a colored pencil drawing of a construction scene, and this book, Moogie and Snat. Now, if I were him, seeing this book would be kind of freaky. But he complimented me and gave me some suggestions.

Come back next week for the next From the Archives!

From the Archives: Johnny Bunjitsu

Introducing From the Archives: The weekly blog post where I pull out a comic from my old filing cabinet for you to enjoy!

This week we have Johnny Bunjitsu, a comic I kind of started in Spring 2011 when first learning to use a nib pen. As you can see from the pages below, I wasn't so great at it then (or now, really). The comic was about Johnny the rabbit and his friend Ram the ram, who learned the art of Ninjitsu from their sensei, Mows. Here are a couple pages from the story.
