Substitute As Desired

A random poem-like thing written one morning now illustrated. I found drawing “fusion” to be hard enough that I said, “let me do a terrible job and just go to bed”, and then did that.

That Statue’s On A Lean

A simple comic based on a poem I wrote during my (theoretically) daily morning poetry sessions. I didn’t even cut and paste the image, I redrew it each time. Because I’m a craftsman.

That Bird Has No Ideas

I continue to try and find some kind of zennish ground in these combination drawing-poems. Maybe not even poems, maybe I inch closer to my long-term goal of becoming a professional aphorist. Or perhaps just an aphid, for now.

The Laundry Rack

A quick one based on a quick poem based on a glimpse of the laundry rack out of the corner of my eye. Yes, I am aware that the drawing of the laundry rack, and particularly its legs, is kind of horrible. Screw it.

On the Table

From an awkward poem about what I could see on the kitchen table to a comic with extremely literal drawings to go with the poem – that’s how show-business is done these days: fast and furious and probably without due consideration.

A Poem About Space

Here is an animated GIF of a poem about writing a poem about space, about space. It is pretty deep and meaningful, so shield your eyes if you’re not ready for that.

When the aliens attacked they came in spaceships shaped like raisins.

Another poem comic about aliens, this one with an unhappy ending. I wrote about it on inininoutoutout. Best drawings of raisins that I’ve ever done.

Passion Outside

Another comic based on a poem. Tried to make the first panel moody and potentially exciting, and the second comfortable, while having them be the same scene, but with a break in it matching the poem’s stanzas. Deep!

What Luck!

Another poem-comic rears its head. My main concern was to capture the exuberance of the original poem, which I did by being very naive in style. Fortunately, I’m awesome at that because I am very naive in style.

The message from the aliens was terse.

This is based on a little poem I wrote during my “evening poem time” recently. Think it came out alright. I’d wanted to have it hand drawn, but couldn’t be bothered scanning the original art, so it’s Manga Studio-ed.
