I haven't made any new ones in a very long time, but here are the classics! ぼくの作ったオリジナルコミック。忙しくて新しいコミックを作ることができませんが、ここでは2000年代初頭のコミック。 ZONE SYSTEM 2006 THE BIBLE 2005 WEBBY CRUNCH 2005 When Kate loses her camera, she buys a new one. This is not just any camera, unfortunately, but one that exposes one's darkest secrets and fears. But is it the camera that is cursed, or her own perception of reality? A collaboration with Ryan Sands. We thought it'd be funny if I - who was not raised religiously - would tell the story of the Bible. Umm, it's very much not the way the actual Bible tells the stories. Ryan adapted it into a script, which I illustrated with Sharpie markers Miguel, an exhausted grad student, is obsessed with arachnids. His work consumes him. After a long break, this was my first post-college comic. The story is a bit spartan, but it was an exercise to get me back into comic mode.
