Blank Canvas - The Comic Strip
Some stories are better told without words. So, for the next however long I can keep it up, I'll be posting short (usually wordless) picture stories here in place of paragraphs. The first few are ones I've done over the last couple of years, but have never been published. That's so I can get ahead a little and hopefully have a new piece to post every other week.

Very cool. What's your medium here? I'm wondering about the shading.
Love the two-panel view, too.

So that looks like the downtown cell tower in the second and final frames....
Joel (Joel Mathis) says…
I've seen these pieces before; Dave I've told you that these really made the downtown phone tower live for me as part of the Lawrence skyline. One way art helps me see my own city -- my own neighborhood -- a little more clearly.
Dazie (Aileen Dingus) says…
oo! 8th & New Hampshire. :) Home of Mirth, my favorite coffee place.
I can't draw. Well, I CAN, my things are usually recognizable as the things I'm attempting, but at any rate, I'm always amazed at other people's talents.

Leslie,
It's just ink.
Shelby (anonymous) says…
Is this a tribute to the mundane? What am I missing? I seriously mean no offense, I guess I just don't get it.
jeslea (anonymous) says…
I have to agree with Shelby. I don't get it. Is there some sort of psychological drama going on that you needed to vent? Or is this just another one of your "live the question" pieces of artwork? Seriously, Dave, I don't get it.

I dig. Probably because I've spent so much time in that area of town.
What I'm curious about is whether the loftstrosity was built or whether it was still the domain of the ancient tree when originally drawn? It isn't technically in sight to differentiate...
thirtyeight (Dave Loewenstein) says…
J- I had the idea before construction began, but didn't get around to finishing it 'til after.
