doughboy :: Economical Quarterly

At the dawn of the 20th century, newspaper comics began as monoliths of design, taking up entire pages of Sunday sections and demanding attention. The beginning of the 21st century saw newspaper comics all but neutered, their formidable stature now relegated to tiny crevices and afterthoughts.

This is an attempt in reinventing the newspaper comic strip into something new, yet obviously familiar.

doughboy :: Tiepolo Diptych

mark — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 23:52:03 +0000

Heavily inspired by the works of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, this diptych is the marriage of the Baroque style with tools and sentiment rooted in 21st century technological palette of machine-aided design.

Even though the final illustration was created inside of a computer and then printed on Kodak Ektacolor paper, all images were first drawn and hypothesized in simple sketchbook format.

Please feel free to examine these sketches and enjoy the free desktop wallpapers and other treats found within this electronic page.

Over the years, in crafting stories and illustrations for my comic “doughboy,” I’ve found that some of the sketches and collages from my sketchbooks are probably more aesthetically interesting than any of the final production work.

Please feel free to thumb through a sampling of these pages.

Very little of it will probably make any actual narrative sense, but I figured ‘d put it out there for people to look at anyhow.
