    I want to talk about your post a little more later, but have you seen any other “architecture comics”. I tended to an exhibition at the LA Forum of Wes Jones’ Meet the Nelsons, a rather high brow comic of architecture in the early nineties, referencing derrida et al. in a setting of surreal slice of life suburbia. there’s also some pretty great architecture comic work on archinetc but I couldn’t find it again, and some super random ones here http://www.bigheadpress.com/thearchitect and here http://minisuck.comicgenesis.com/d/20060517.html

Tomahawk City, NY

So… Paul Lau and I are making a comic to handout @ NYCC (New York Comic Con) which is about a month away.  We gave ourselves a couple months to do this, however in our infinite wisdom only began drawing last week.  So we’re really pressed for time right now.  I’m not sure what the collaboration is called but it will feature two 12-14 page comics, back to back, like the classic double feature comics of old.

Above is either page 1 or 2 (not sure yet) of my comic tentatively titled “TOMAHAWK CITY, NY”.  It’s supposed to be a nighttime scene so I don’t know if it reads that way.  I feel like it’s a bit heavy on the tones.  Meh.  I am liking my lines so far though.   Hopefully Paul and I can get these badboy’s done and printed in time, and hopefully show some kids that we’re still cool, that we can still hang hahaha.  BTW Paul’s script is really funny.

Hopefully update soon!

EVERYTHING OUTSIDE IS DELICATELY MUTED.

The ever name changing collective of imhotep 2021, and meat pallet have been reimagined as Global Sand Architekten, and submitted an entry to the Sukkah City competition. The sukkah city team is Vivien, Hannah, Justin, and Myself.  In short the sukkah is a temporary structure used in the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, which is a harvest festival.  Each year there is a sukkah built in Union Square, this year there was a design competition for it, and 12 will be built.

Our non-winning entry involved a lace cube, some falsified ruins, and floating trees. It was somewhat hectic putting this board together. Judging by the winners designs shown on the internet, we were way off with our design language, laughably off. Regardless, I like how it turned out, and hopefully the winners can get these things built correctly, because if so I think Sukkah City will be pretty amazing event.

Terrible Horrible Part Deux

The wait is over. That concludes the longest ongoing Terrible Horrible strip ever. So not worth it.

Thumbnailing my new 12 page comic and it’s looking better.

GLITTER WINNERS – FINALLY

I didn’t win 5 dollars.  But I really like the 5 dollar winner.

WINNERS HERE

My entry.

Terrible Horrible

So the last Terrible Horrible was done some time in 2008. It’s 2010 now, thus this new one took 2 years to write and draw. It’s the worst thing I’ve ever made, BUT it’s the longest Terrible Horrible strip I’ve written, because it spans multiple 3 panel strips. I left you with a cliffhanger so you’ll have to tune in later when I post more.

In slightly larger news I would like to explain that this Terrible Horrible is a simple warm-up to getting back into drawing comics again. I finally met Paul Lau in NYC (we’ve met before, once – for like 15 min.) recently and foolishly we’ve decided to combine our efforts and make a split mini together for NY Comic-Con. Ground rules included: 5 characters, we would each get two, and share the fifth who will be an astronaut. We may have had a loose agreement to have it set in NYC. 12 pages each. I’ll explain more as things progress, but until then Terrible Horrible.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN!??
