#250 Lord Buckethead
Pretty much all of 2018 and 2019 was spent ensuring that a human was born and that human would make it to his first birthday. My wife and I succeeded.
I had thought that throughout the pregnancy and his first year of life, that I’d be able to mine all of those experiences and turn them into some comics. That didn’t happen. And the way things are going, I feel like it might not continue to happen.
So, I’ve decided to forgo the usual workflow of writing, sketching, then producing for a more fluid as-it-comes-and-on-whatever-material-I-can-find process.
About MY ADVENTURES IN COMICS
Since I had no confidence in my drawing skills, I figured I’d take a bunch of photos and organize them into a comic strip. Everything about the comic was inspired by real life. However, it started to get difficult telling a story or writing a joke around photos and it felt like I was doing everything backwards.
So, at the end of 2014, I thought I’d try my hand at writing a joke first, then drawing. Thus, the comic was reborn. Though it seemed simple enough, I wondered if I could keep it up regularly. And now, here we are.
My Adventures in Comics is A COMPLETELY FICTIONAL strip inspired by life, love, family, work, cats & dogs, and music.
Tools: pencil, pens, paper, and Comic Life program.
