no screaming this time, just a big stick
To understand anything, my first step is usually finding similar things I already understand and doing some sort of comparison. I don’t get where badges go, who authorizes them, who determines their value, what they mean to people who wear them, or what they mean to people who view them. I’ve read as much online …

This is getting the attitude of the young lady in my head. Real quick, almost a gesture drawing. If I was doing a whole book, I think I’d use pen and ink in an old style – like the balloon drawings – rather than anything digital. And I think Flavia would look a lot like …
Tea fresh from the Bunsen burner. Second attempt. Wow, I liked this going in, but now it looks too much like animé. I don’t dislike animé at all, but it isn’t what I was going for. It looks a bit more like Flavia then the first sketch.
First thinking-out-loud doodle for Kim. Not so happy with this. I like the odd perspective, but I’m not too happy with Flavia. Rolled up girly jeans made sense to me, especially for riding Gladys- but I can only ever find her in a dress. More doodling required!

More old stuff. Opinion, no pictures… Perhaps I should’ve stuck with pictures? My own personal hell would be designing graphics for a committee made up of people who have dabbled a bit themselves with drawing pictures… Socialized art. Socialized design. Shirky describes it in his new book, though he doesn’t use those words. Downplay quality …
I think I ran this right after we were told to put a framed copy of the “principles” on the wall. Or maybe I’m confused. Not that confusion is necessarily a bad thing…
From November 2010 when our small reading group wrote reaction papers to readings in the New Media Reader. The last reading was a chapter from Scott McCloud’s classic, Understanding Comics and it was in comic format. My response, obviously, needed to be in the same comic format, so I stepped directly into Scott’s work to …
