Ok so I have gotten the basic outline for my comic layed out, I got a lot of inspiration from the books Habibi and Blankets, the author recently came to the school and the way he writes and illustrates his books helped me out a lot with setting up mine. The title is going to be Anti-depressant. I will start working on the art soon.
Ok so I have been trying to think of things to do for a comic and I figured out that I do have one idea. I have started work on it. It is about how I felt during the days when depression was hitting me hard. I know this does not sound like the happy go lucky thing everyone wants to read. But I feel like there are a lot of people who could benefit from seeing this sort of thing. Personally I think it makes quite the interesting story but than again it is my life. To Write Love On Her Arms kinda made me think of it. After all i made it through and I don’t want others to bat around as blindly as I did and also to not allow those dumb high school things to blind them to what is really going on around them. Also it will show the duality of a person’s life with depression. Trying to pretend to feel things you don’t so that no one realizes what is going on. A lot of heavy stuff that I will try to balance with those things that I was not paying attention to but if I had I would have realized it was going to be ok. Lot of work but I think it is worthy.
Works in Progress of My editorial assignment based on merits of healthcare
My newest image based on my room-mate’s plans for a B movie. Had a lot of fun making it, think i plan to do a whole set of them.
In english, have to set up my resume which I realize I should have done a long time ago, kinda feel like an idiot. Also realize I do not have a lot of work experience nor too much to put in my education section, it is looking kinda lame.. fears of never getting a job, creeping up.
Back to school for the first day which was an incredibly tiring and semi boring english what they call humanities class. Sounds like it will be a bit difficult and will get in the way of my art classes so yippee, hopefully it will prove as useful as the teacher is trying to tell me it is. I am excited for Illustration 3 and Fantasy art those classes will most likely kick ass and kick my ass if I am not careful. My Fantasy teacher is an artist who has done a lot of awesome work and he has even done magic cards, I know a lot of artists have but its pretty cool to me, I have had him before and he is an excellent teacher, John Matson.
