My Friend Jeffrey :: My Friend Jeffrey (one shot/short story) | Tapas

Follows Otto and his imaginary friend, Jeffrey, in the struggle of accepting an imaginary friend well into adolescence.

Hi all,  I’ve gone ahead and (finally) uploaded last year’s one-shot comic “My Friend Jeffrey” to Tapastic (comics reader).  If I’m honest, I’m incredibly proud of myself for being able to pump out these 23 pages in basically a month and a half. The art surely isn’t my best, and there is notably more photograph splicing in this comic than in my more recent works I’ve yet to release. Though, despite my personal feelings of a lack in visual quality in this work, I don’t think I’ve felt so energized since drawing this one. With college continuing and my PBS (painful bladder syndrome) not having improved much at all, I feel lethargic and stagnant more and more, no matter how hard I work. My PBS truly does make exerting myself so difficult, but… let’s not go into my health status much currently. I try to not complain or make mentions of my health much lately because of the vast amount of criticism I’ve received from others about being “complaning,” “too much,” or “needy.”  nbsp; I share this comic in hopes of it bringing on some sort of ironic joy, though any reaction at all is more than I’d ask for. A bunch of you guys on Instagram and here are really awesome, so thanks for being there. Hope all is well.   - Luke

Would love to go back to NYC and walk through Central Park at 1AM again soon 😴

I posted this photo in the last group of NYC photos from this week but I did some editing in Lightroom and felt inclined to post this version

since I already reblogged about it here's a less informal, more concise way of putting it:

THE INTERNET ARCHIVE IS NOT GOING TO DIE. ONLY CERTAIN BOOKS ARE AT STAKE NOTHING ELSE. DONATE WHAT YOU CAN FOR THEIR COURT COSTS. THEY STILL HAVE AN APPEAL TO GIVE

Good afternoon, hope you’re all having a good week thus far! Remember it’s not even half done so don’t get down about things you haven’t completed yet (￣O￣;)

So - I’m changing my tools for inking (again lol)

I went back to inking on iPad the other night and was like “Wow the Cintiq sucks compared”. The iPad Pro feels so realistic and I can get those… raw ink marks I used to get on paper. The darks just seem… DARKER. I can’t do that in the Cintiq, and the screen just doesn’t feel right compared to the iPad. I absolutely dig the iPad’s intuitive approach and ability to really emulate the feel (not only look) of traditional tools. Though, I will forever miss the sound of a pen nib scraping the paper… But I don’t miss scanning multiple layers, straining over a light box, and whiting out without undo buttons entirely. I think once I’m healthier and have more money/assistants, I’ll be physically able to handle the labor of drawing comics analog.

So yeah - sorry to confuse those of you who asked about which tools I use recently, and whether I draw digitally or traditionally or whatever I do. It’s a healthy mix of both! Pencils are currently roughed in by hand and then scanned and modified on the computer/iPad then inked. I use a mixture of backgrounds from my head, from references I take, sometimes I splice in photographs and even lately I use CG and would like to start working with other artist friends who use CG so we can create vivid worlds based on concept sketches I’ll draw prior. Point is: my process is always changing; just do what you like and what makes you comfortable!
