Secktacular!

(snazzy-looking cover painted by sara lindo – buy issue #1 with the snazzy-looking cover here)

so the posting of “steve seck’s life is good” issue one has come to an end. thanks for reading, those of you who did!

i made ”steve seck’s life is good #1″ in the spring of 2008 for my first year’s final project at the center for cartoon studies. looking back as i’ve been posting it page by page, i feel a complex mixture of pride & embarrassment – i like what i made on the whole, but there are definitely some drawing, inking & staging issues i was yet to get a handle on. while posting these, it was not uncommon for a panel to cause me to do a comically exaggerated double-take & think / say to myself “i seriously thought THAT was a good enough drawing to go in the book??”.

i guess everyone doing something creative has moments like that looking back on their work, though. hopefully the writing shines through some of the more crudely-rendered illustrations to make it an enjoyable enough reading experience for you guys.

anyway: on to the next learning experience! i’ll start posting issue #2 on monday, november 9th! in the interim, please enjoy some DAILY FILLER!
