The Making of Plus One

Posted In: Blog, Art, Blog

The other day I posted this little guy via my Twitter account but realize that should also post it here. I took last Thursday’s comic and broke it down into the various stages that I take it through. What you see below is the animated gif of the whole thing put together from dialogue to final. At the end of this post I’ve laid out the various images in a galery so you can see them and a little description of what’s going on. Hope you enjoy!

Comic Creators for Freedom Drive 2012

Violet helps support the 2012 Comic Creators for Freedom campaign. Raising money through donations to help end human trafficing

I want to take a moment to draw your attention a really cool idea that needs your support. Today is the launch of the Comic Creators for Freedom drive! The goal of this group is the raise money and awareness about human trafficking around the world.

The way this donation drive works is simple. A whole group of artist and comicers have come together to create a massively awesome desktop wall paper and all you have to do is donate some money and it’s yours. Each artist has drawn their own character and the end result is something amazing. Some of the artist involved with this project include yours truely, Lar de Souza from Looking for Group, Chris Watkins of Odori Park, and Danielle Corsetto of Girls with Slingshots (just to name a few). And here’s a small sample:

6 way to get home safe this holiday

December 29th, 2011 | by Dustin
Posted In: Blog, Blog, Techniques

Original image sourced from http://betweenthelinesblog.wordpress.com/2009/12/28/make-a-check-at-the-end-of-2009/Last year, approximately 10,500 people died in alcohol-impaired-driving crashes. Historically, holiday periods have shown higher incidences of alcohol-impaired driving crashes, so whether you’re at a holiday party, a New Year’s Eve bash at a bar or reveling with friends, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Ad Council are reminding everyone that the best way to stay safe is to plan ahead and designate a sober before you head out for your festivities.

Here are 6 ways to stay safe this holiday:

  1. Plan a safe way home before the festivities begin
  2. Before drinking, designate a sober driver and leave your car keys at home
  3. If you’re impaired, use a taxi, call a sober friend or family member, or use public transportation so you are sure to get home safely
  4. Use your community’s sober ride program
  5. If you happen to see a drunk driver on the road, don’t hesitate to contact your local law enforcement
  6. Remember, Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving. If you know people who are about to drive or ride with someone who is impaired, take the driver’s keys and help them make other arrangements to get to where they are going safely.

Here are some helpful tools for planning a safe ride home after the party

•        Designated Driver Drink List — One of the most important things you can do before going out is designate a sober driver. If you’re throwing a party, make sure to offer non-alcoholic drinks for the sober drivers. To make sure those sober drivers are taken care of, check out these 50 non-alcoholic party drink recipes just for them!

•        Alternative Ride Locator — A list of nationwide alternative ride programs that can help keep you safe.

•        Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving website — You can sign a pledge not to drink and drive; play “Spot the Difference,” an interactive game that simulates the effects of buzzed driving; and watch a real-life video about how buzzed driving changed one woman’s life.

You Know You’re a Parent When…

December 16th, 2011 | by Diane
Posted In: Blog, Observations

Being a parent does strange things to your life sometimes. One day you’re a care free adult who worries about catching the latest movie matinée and then bam! You got a kid and your new top priority is catching a few minutes for yourself during nap time, or figuring out how to stuff as many diapers into your coat so you don’t have to carry the diaper bag anymore. Your once normal life has been warped into some twisted family comedy about how kids change your life for better or worse.

Yeah it’s another list, but I figured I’d add my own interpretation of You Know You’re a (insert random thing here) When. So here goes… ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
