Another piece I did for The Nib back in 2015! Gonna keep posting these until they shut down at the end of the summer. It was such a treat to hear that Matt and the whole editorial team just won an Eisner for their work on the magazine and website. Much-deserved.
Anyway: this is a parody and isn't representative of every screenwriter's experience, but it certainly feels relevant with all the strikes rolling out right now. Did you know what kind of credit you get on a film directly impacts how much you're paid? For writers you'll see "created by," "written by," "story by," and all sorts of other things, all of which translate to different levels of compensation! (Highlander, for example, has Story by Gregory Widen and Screenplay by my dad and his writing partner, Larry Ferguson.) The Writer's Guild is often responsible for arbitrating those decisions. They have a whole MANUAL to help writers understand the process. It rules.
Thanks, WGA. Thanks, The Nib. (And you can always make more of these comics possible on Patreon.)

Very strange of a drawing and a post, but I got the Pixar story internship?? Legitimately have a hard time believing it...??
Thanks to everyone for the support and encouragement along the way! Thanks Robespierre for getting me a job???

This is one of my all time favourite pieces and I decided to update it a little bit.
I didn’t like how the old clouds looked, and I added some smaller details and adjustments here and there.

Color! Composition still wonky, but this was done mainly to see how I liked the colors and such. I can reposition and resize birds/leaves/etc another time. And get a decent proper hexagon drawn up.
This has been an exercise in not letting perfection hold me back. I have to start getting back into art somehow, right?

Building my portfolio with a faux YA book cover! This book does not exist but I like to think if it did this would make you want to read it!
This was done in Greg Manchess + Scott Fischer's SmART School class, I wanted them to push me towards a more graphic look that I admire but have always been too timid to do, and I think they pushed me pretty dang well.
