His Nibs Here


Sunday, October 4, 2009

H’lo folks. Sorry I’ve been such a bad blogger. Here’s some cartoons with which I’ve been learning how to use a dip pen, and especially the mythical G nib. Forged by samurai metallurgists obsessed with manga, the G nib is the only pen designed specifically with cartooning in mind. I’m not sure that it can lure me away from my Rapidographs, though.

First, a one-panel gag. I made two others, but one is pretty dumb and the other has been deemed by some to be too much for the internet to handle.

Johnny Appleseed

Next, a dear diary dream comic. (Trying to work looser, more cartoony, faster, but not exactly getting great results yet.)

We'll Need to Rent a Boat

And finally some autobio-ish strips in the style of EC Segar (you can click em to see em).

ala Segar - 1

ala Segar - 2

I’ve got more stuff to show you, and I promise to throughout the week.

    duuuhh, Dan, ever heard of an homage? The homework assignment was to draw a strip in the style of a given artist, and I was lucky enough to get Segar.
