Carleton Comics Journal #8

There was a slight delay in printing from last Friday to today, but it’s here! The eighth issue of the Carleton Comics Journal, that is. Two new artists this week, which is very exciting: they are Charu Kulkarni and Frazier Mork. A bunch of regulars are back, including myself, Jacob, Kailyn, Jon Kittaka, Andreas, and …

Thumbnail Self-Portraits (The 2000s)

Been thinking about the last 10 years a fair bit. I was 12 years old for most of 2000, and aged accordingly. How have I changed? How much have I changed? I was living in Wisconsin in 2000, in Minnesota now. How have you changed? What were you doing in 2000? Now? How aware are …

Gary Finchberg p. 1, Pt. 2

Continuing from yesterday’s post, this is the second part of an introduction to Gary Finchberg: the man, the myth, the alcoholic. More to come in this storyline, but probably not until next Friday: the 8th issue of the Carleton Comics Journal!

Gary Finchberg p. 1, Pt. 1

It’s time to learn a little bit more about one of those mysterious fellows, the Funky, Sexy Jazzmen. This time, it’s Gary Finchberg: You might remember him as the “Bongoman” in the original FSJ illustrations (link above), or as the “boisterous patron” in Swingin’ Sid p. 2. More to come tomorrow!

The Sad Smiles of the Young Nashvillians

The latest Graphic Design project was an image-dominant poster (as opposed to our recent forays into typography). The assignment was to either create a new cover for Sigmund Freud’s The Interpretation of Dreams, a poster for a student band’s album release, or a poster for an upcoming student art project. The band I chose had …

Cooper Black in a Tree

For my Graphic Design class, we were assigned to create an environmental typography set. Many people created the alphabet or various characters out of found objects. Jameson and I interpreted this assignment as taking digital or two-dimensional objects (here the letters of the alphabet) and bringing them into real, three-dimensional space. We cut all 26 …

Queens of Comedy

Performing this Friday at Nourse Little Theater (a.k.a. Little Nourse): it’s (from left to right) Peter Bumcrot, me, Jameson, Noah Sapse, and Karl Snyder, with MC Alsa Bruno. We promise to be better and less offensive than certain recent stand-up comedy acts Carleton has seen. Here’s a poster for you to nibble on: Did you …

Carleton Comics Journal #6

It’s that time again! I was not actually involved in the layout of this issue, due to driving Lisa to the airport to go to the Sundance Film Festival. Apparently it’s pretty famous. Jacob organized and drew the cover for this issue, which features comics by myself, Kailyn Kent, Tan Jia-Li, Andreas Stoehr, and a …
