Citric Journal

Glimpses into the life of the artist.

It's entirely auto-biographical, showing small moments from each day of my life. Over the years the writing and drawing styles have changed to suit my current views on both comics and life in general. I've found that keeping a daily comic is a good way to stay familiar with concise story-telling techinques while providing a challenge to keep things interesting for both myself and readers. All of the comics can be read online here, or click on the link below to learn more about the comics.

Worlds

An adventure through fantastic planes of existence.

When our unnamed adventurer accidently steps on a sharp crystal object among the mess of things on her apartment floor, she becomes transported to a strange environment filled with bizarre creatures. Worlds follows her story of exploring and trying to find her way home through a series of unique environments. I wanted to make this comic in order to explore creating different settings and explore how those settings develop as a character explores them.

Cold Soup

A journey through an icy wilderness.

Cold Soup is about the trials a wizard dog faces as they traverse a frozen environment. It's not clear where they're headed at first, but they're going to have to be careful if they want to make it. This comic was inspired primarily by a desire to use its color palette, setting warm yellows and reds against icey light blues and teals. The comic is mostly wordless and focuses mainly on overcoming obstacles.
