Week of Lincoln: Day Four

I've realized that posting every weekday is not something that is ever going to happen. I just can't manage my time that well. But here's the fourth post for this week, which is pretty rad.

This Friday Afternoon Comic is half Abe Lincoln, half Valentine's Day-lovin'. The idea for this popped into my head a few days ago, so I'm glad I had the time to draw it today.

Enjoy it lovebirds/Lincoln enthusiasts!

Week of Lincoln: Day Three

Here's another Lincoln drawing from a few years ago:

If you can't read my tiny handwriting, it says:

Abe Lincoln actually looked a lot like this. Who else would be able to free the slaves single handed-ly and wrestle a 7 foot bear at the same time? Damn straight.

America has never been a place for sissies.

Fabulous. If you think this is weird, just wait until tomorrow!

Week of Lincoln: Day Two

Today, an Abe Lincoln-themed comic for you!

Written by Dan Duncan & Erika Schnatz. Illustrated by Erika Schnatz.

Let's see if I can get another Lincoln post ready for tomorrow!

Week of Lincoln: Day One

This week is Abraham Lincoln's birthday.

He is my favorite president ever, and sometimes I get bored and draw pictures of him.

I will attempt to post something Lincoln-related every day this week, because he was the man.

Lincoln is a total BAMF. Absolute fact.

I will never draw Lincoln without his stovepipe hat. It is the best type of hat.

Friday Afternoon Comics: Your Brain on Jazz

So I've been a major slacker on the art front this week - my apologies, loyal followers.

The Year of Gnomes project is going on a bit of a hiatus, so I have more time to make comics. However, there will definitely be gnomes in some of my comics. So don't despair, gnome fans.

Without further ado:

This is based on a silly idea I wrote down on a Post-it note months and months ago.

Enjoy.

More comics on the way next week!

Friday Afternoon Comics: AmeriComics

Welcome to the first installment of something that will hopefully become a permanent fixture of my sketch blog: Friday Afternoon Comics!

I created the comics below as a response to some personal reflection questions in my AmeriCorps mid-year report. For those of you unaware of AmeriCorps, it's like the Peace Corps, but within the United States. There are AmeriCorps programs all over the place focusing on different themes and missions, this year I am working in a program called Oregon Campus Compact at Portland State University. Our focus is on student retention through mentoring programs. I've gained a lot of great knowledge and experience serving so far.

You don't really need to know any of that to read these, but they probably make a bit more sense if you do.
