[mini comic day]

I'm working on a mini comic with Matt K, so here's a sneak preview. Matt had this great idea to take an alien and place him into our world. There's more back story than that, but I wouldn't want to spoil anything. The alien proposes social critiques without even knowing he's doing so, as he's praising our way of life here in Chambana. Besides take pictures around Champaign, primarily Green Street, here's how else I've been helping:

This is our little guy.

Here he is at a different angle.


You want to see him from behind, you say? Okay.

Or gesturing wildly?

(So blissful.)

He also sits down.

And has a prominent thumb in one panel.

Alright, looks like he's tired of this.


If you can't tell, I've been cropping out the page around him, and copying just his body onto a transparent (alpha) background. This allows us to copy/paste him into real life photographs, so we have mixed media, which is pretty sweet.

Hey, anyone own Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Part) 2? It was made in 1986 by Tobe Hooper and has Dennis Hopper in it. If anyone knows a way I can borrow it that'd be great! I have a paper on it, and someone else has it checked out from That's Rentertainment. I'd really love to not have to watch it at the Undergra/ound.
