The Toronto Comic Arts Festival is fast approaching (this weekend!), and I’ll be there at table 214, selling copies of Cut, as well as a new mini-comic, Yoko Ono Survivalflux. Here’s a three-page preview – the comic will be a total of six pages, folded from an 11×17 sheet (super small!) with a fun poster on the back!
Also of note: I’ve made a proper portfolio website, which can be found at WWW.ERICDRAWS.COM. I’ll be updating this blog more regularly with new work, but I thought it was time to get fancy and purchase a domain. Also, also of note: This blog is almost two years old! Weird.
A final project for my core Illustration class, where we were given license to do whatever we wanted. I decided to create a short comic on my interactions with Yoko Ono through her weekly Twitter Q&A. I would like to return to this idea and flesh it out into a larger comic, but this was a fun, quick project, and a nice return to a more traditional comics approach. (Although you do need to read right-to-left in a couple of places…)
