Actions Speak Louder Than Words


"9 Panel Narrative Study"
Multimedia & Digital, 400 dpi.
8.5" x 11"

More so than ever I am having those thoughts of, "where am I going to be a five years?" It's strange because I always thought that question was silly whenever somebody asked me. Right now I feel like a just climbed up a tree and now I have to pick a branch to follow. Decisions, decisions. I'm waiting for that glimmer of hope and security to flash in front of my eyes.

The comic strip above is my second project for my Narrative class. The criteria was to create a nine-panel narrative with a hook at the end. I accidentally forgot to add a hook to this one; however, Blair liked the idea and asked me to pursue it. I've wanted to do something about basketball for a while now. It went into the project not wanting to use a lot of dialogue and keep the story flowing through movement and expression. Down the line I would like to take a crack at creating a graphic novel with a basketball-themed story line. I'll put that one on the back-burner for now. I'll try to post some of the more personal pieces I've been working on. They are very different than anything I have done before.

Greg you always seem to keep experimenting, it keeps your stuff fresh!

I love how it's the visual sense of motion that carries the eye and not the need for dialogue.
