So, it seems fitting that my last journal entry was on Wyrd's fifth anniversary. I babbled about the comic book display in college (which sadly I never took a decent picture of it when it was up because I'm an idiot) and how Wyrd was my first character, and how I was giving her an official funeral by using her in the display. I haven't drawn her, or given her a second thought since December of last year because I was completely at ease with letting her go.
But now here I am, approaching her six year anniversary, and I'm completely re-immersed in her story. I had shelved her because she was becoming repetative and a bit generic. There were too many things already in existence that she could be considered copying (examples: "The Crow" and "The Punisher"). But in a complete revamp, my badass dead girl is back and I'm actually excited to work on her again. I missed her without even knowing it. Her story has taken a completely different turn and I think it may actually work this time. And if I end up canning the poor thing, then hey, at least I drew something, right?

Five years later . . .
So, today marks the fifth anniversary of my first comic book concept and the decision that I want to draw comics for the rest of my life. In senior year of high school, December 22, 2004, I drew a character named Wyrd. She was the first character I ever created, drawing wise, that I truly could picture in a comic book setting. I quickly began coming up with a story for her and five years later, I now have over twenty different stories, and over 140 different characters.
On January 14, 2010, I am one of five people involved in a comic book display and panel at Camden County College. In my part of the display, I will be showing the five year e
Losing a crutch . . .
I depend very heavily on photoshop (PS). I have this thing where I feel if it wasn't inked and colored in PS, it's not worthy of being posted. With that theory, I post nothing. I have dozens of good sketches, but without the time to scan them in, resize them, ink, then color them in PS, they never see the light of day.
Thanks to an opportunity presented by my professor in Drawing II, I had to complete a comic book page in four days so my piece could be featured in a display case about comic book art. My only problem was I had nothing to show and not much time to make anything. Certainly not enough time (between work and class) to do the whol
Back in business
So, I haven't done anything lately. That is obvious, but I'm putting myself 'back in business' so to speak. I'm reaching out with several differents mediums. I have restarted my YouTube account www.youtube.com/eafx and I will soon restart the corresponding DevArt account at www.eafx.deviantart.com
I hope to have more to post soon on here, including character profiles, still life, comic pages, and sculpture. For now, I will keep updating my current WIP.
