I am always looking for new ways to explore, both in running and in making comics. I never know where I’m going to find a new idea or a new technique that I never discovered before. While running, I’ll usually go down side streets and closed roads because I have a lot of miles to […]
Many times when we make comics, we are scared too. We have really big hopes of doing great things and then some big bully will come along and drive us off. Tell us we are no good. Tell us that we should do something else, or that we’ll never amount to anything. We can’t let […]

These camera angles art the close-up, the upshot, the down shot, the 3/4 shot, establishing shot, extreme close up, etc. etc. The two I want to focus on today, though are the bird’s […]
