Following Through on an Idea - First Political Cartoon

This is my FIRST EVER political cartoon creation! It's based on an idea that came to me a few days ago.

The characters are based on Ivan Brunetti's way of creating simple ones. (I learned about him through Lynda Barry's 'Making Comics' course.) In this cartoon, I'm pleased that the one female character across the middle six frames has a consistent look and feel. Meanwhile, the colored-in characters are a bit more complex though have some simple elements.

Ultimately, this cartoon is intended to be satirical. That said, how does it come across to you? Does it flow and make sense?

New Project in Progress

I'm working on a new project with multiple layers and shapes of different colored organzas. It is an interpretation of lighting on an ice rink...from a show I recently saw. There is a lot more stitching to do, but I like how its coming along. I'm learning organzas are not easy to work with especially when you layer them and have overlaid edges. The fabric also tends to ravel easily. This post also linked to http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.com .

Final Wheel-throw Pottery Batch

With this batch, I have 73 successful wheel-thrown pots and bowls...wow! That is aside from the nearly 40 fails. So over four months of classes and practice, I've thrown over 110 vessels. Florian Gadsby would be proud...as I've completed my first 100 throws that he advises getting done as soon as one can! I owe some of my learning to him and his videos (on YouTube), and the rest to the instructors, staff and students at BHC (the place I've done my work at since June). Thank you to all my teachers -- meaning all of you in one way or another!
