Write Your Own Title Day!

cycle1

jam-types

Drew a racer on top of a parked cycle outside. The other sketch is a vague approximation (meaning I still can't draw likenesses) of characters at last night Montreal Comic Jam. Didn't take my little camera or bring home any pages, so I can't do my usual presentation of who was there and what they were doing. After a spark of interest because of change of venue, it's rather dwindled down again to the usual suspects hunched over papers.

But, though the group was small, it was productive. Lots of little panels were drawn, telling oddball and pointless stories. I'm still not certain how these are going to be used, or if they are going to see publication. Promised Francis, the editor of Mensuhell (ha! nice Wikipedia entry!), that I would have a story for his July issue. I've been procrastinating on this for a long time, but it's good to get going on stories rather than just the usual rambling sketches and occasional work for hire.

And the secret to getting the Jam going again is to invite outsiders and create a little energy around the event. It is cozy, though, simply to meet and be part of a group.
