The Looming Deadline: a short story for Charlotte Mini Con




So I've been reading a lot of Horror lately. Well not a ton, but I've been super interested in horror, especially the works of H. P. Lovecraft. I really like his approach, the horror of a world or dimension beyond the scope of human thought, that once we're exposed to it, we can't help but be warped and changed by it. I love Junji Ito who draws manga with this same inspiration and it's something I wanted to try.

Here are the first four pages of a 6 page comic I made for Charlotte Mini Con which is happening this weekend, January 25th. I'll be sharing a table with my bro and roommate Max Currie, so if you can swing by please pick up a book or just come to chat.

This comic is all watercolor, I wanted to try doing something like this eventually and it was time to try something new. I painted this in my Stillman and Birn Delta sketchbook, and was amazed with how much fun it was. I'll have to do this again with something longer!
