Beautiful Monster Pg 01

Now we begin the Little Garden short story called “Beautiful Monster.” I aim to present this story at a rate of one page per week. While this is a slower update rate than the previous Little Garden material, I’m certain that the substance of the new work will be engaging enough to warrant the wait.

What I doodle

Ladies, gentlemen, welcome to Little Garden Comics. 

As some of you may have gathered, this webcomic updates daily; seven days weekly. Each vignette stands alone but together they form a picture of life in this crazy magical land that I’ve imagined. Sometimes, I’m going to want to write general posts and those can go right here, under the day’s cartoon. Today, I’m posting some doodles.

I have a big folder of doodles on my computer. I’m going to pass them out like candy to give you nice people something else to look at. 

While we’re on the subject of other things to look at, some of you may want to wander down to my other webcomic which goes by the name of [Press (A) To Talk] (http://pressatotalk.com). Be forewarned, that site isn’t always worksafe and should generally be regarded as being Rated R.

Can I interest you in some doodles?

I thought it would be keen and appropriate to add some fun scribbles to the blog underneath the main cartoon. Tell me what you think! The first one is a real doodle of an imaginary superhero squad. I decided that a bunch of kids running around with superhuman abilities and vigilante aspirations wouldn’t necessarily dress in spandex skiier outfits.

Things like these start out as doodles, but may one day end up in my other comic strip, [Press (A) To Talk]. That is a strip that is developing on another website and which there never is much of a plan for. I make it for fun inbetween working on Little Garden!

Haunting.

When I was making Little Garden cartoons, I didn’t originally know what would come out of my pen when I sat down at my desk. It was all improvised. In cartoon #019, I played with light source in a way that I don’t often do in order to give the piece an almost ominous look.

Sometimes it appears that the light is daylight coming from behind the woman, sometimes it looks like her eyes are glowing.  O_O

A new start.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been looking over these cartoons a whole lot. I haven’t taken a serious look at some of these in years! I finally have a proper website for this work and I couldn’t be more pleased. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to L. Nichols of www.dirtbetweenmytoes.com for getting the wheels back on this cart. 

Right now, Little Garden will be updating daily (7 days!) until I run through the older cartoons. Then, I’ll post newer comics that no one has seen before. Exciting! Stay a while and let me know what you think of this weird world of mine.
