Too Much of A Good Thing
Here is my first comic assignment for Sequential Narrative 1, essentially a Comics/Graphic Novel class at OCAD. The assignment guidelines were to create a 4 panel comic with the phrase “Are you all right?” included within one of the panels. Though I feel some of my classmates may have not enjoyed this comic, I am quite pleased with it, I feel that it communicates exactly what I wanted. I am only hoping that throughout the semester others in the class will begin to explore the emotional side of comics and not just humour.
As the semester continues and I post new comics, I will probably include a post or two on my favourite/most important comics. I have a lot of work piling up, a lot of which needs to be scanned, so I will do that some time in the future. Very busy with assignments and gallery proposals for the summer, so when I have time there will be a lot of updates. Stay Tuned!
