CCS Diary Comic #1

It’s been about three weeks since I started classes at the Center for Cartoon Studies, and it’s been fantastic so far! The assignments have been fun and challenging, and the student work has been inspiring. It’s so weird to be in a room with so many great cartoonists at the same time.
One of the first assignments we were given in Steve Bissette’s Drawing Studio class is a weekly diary comic. The comic must be at least one page in length, and occasionally has other requirements.
For the first diary comic, Steve split everyone into groups of two or three and told us to go eat lunch together. We then had to draw our comics based on some aspect of that conversation.
I had lunch with Katie Moody and Bailey Sharp, and this is how it went:

We tried to get a good picture, but then like, this HUGE DINOSAUR TOTALLY APPEARED you guys.
Needless to say, it’s been great so far. I really can’t believe how fortunate I am to be here. I’ll be posting some stuff from my first couple of weeks soon. Keep an eye out on Thursdays for sketches, drawings, and comics made in class!

Daily Delay

There is going to be a delay in posting the Daily Sketchbook Comics for the next week or two. By the time you read this, I will hopefully be en route to White River Junction, preparing to attend the Center for Cartoon Studies.
There will be many things on my mind during this time. Like where to get a mattress, how to transport a mattress without a truck, or why sleeping on a hardwood floor in an empty apartment is so uncomfortable. One thing that will also be on my mind is finding an inexpensive used scanner so that I can keep uploading the Dailies each week.
Judging from everything I’ve heard and read, the first few months at CCS will be a rigorous cartoon boot camp. I can only assume that there is some sort of obstacle course in which one has to scale a wall using only a rope, while trying to carry an open bottle of ink on one’s head and simultaneously quoting Scott McCloud.
I definitely plan on continuing the Daily Sketchbook Comics, but it may be a couple of weeks before I have the time and means to upload them. In the meantime, I may become one of those guys who spends all day tweeting his clever observational witticisms in at a cafe with free wi-fi.
I truly appreciate those who read my comics every week. This has been an enriching exercise for me, and it means the world to me that an increasing number of people visit the site each week to read about the shit I think before bed.
Check back soon for more…
