Wandering Story

Hi everyone, I've been working on this piece over the course of a month. It was something I would keep to the side of my computer and work on for 10-20 minutes at a time as a break from other work. Many of you are familiar with my previous work on Stray Thoughts, and this is part of a conscious effort to keep the spur of the moment nature in my work.



Enjoy!

Abstract Comics from New Zealand part 1

A while ago I put a call out to the New Zealand comics community to see if anyone had made any Abstract Comics recently. I only got a couple of responses, here is one of them:
By Isaac Freeman

first published in Funtime Comics #23: The Walls of Halls

Statement by Isaac:
Very occasionally I try to do a comic with a specific formal agenda. In this case the objective was to produce something that was completely abstract but also definitely sequential, and to do it entirely by hand. The production involved tracing repeatedly from a master pencilled panel, which I reworked between each frame. While I met the technical requirements I set for myself, I don't think it's particularly interesting as a comic, because the transitions between panels are very rigid and simple. It could just as well be a series of stills from an animation.

Issac is the current editor of the long running New Zealand anthology Funtime Comics.

Personally I like it.

Abstract 18 Series 3 ‘Lines’

Abstract 18 I like the rough and spontaneous aspect to this comic and how the dry brushing catches the wrinkle of the paper. This is another of my comics looking at the gutter and panel relationship.

Abstract 11b Series 3 ‘Lines’

Abstract 11b Another version of Abstract 11a This is another of my works which I am happy with. I like the idea that all the 'action' of the comic is happening within the panel frame, not in the panel or in the gutter.
