​One of the more time consuming aspects of drawing SuRe are the scenery elements. Drawing characters is easy, and I’d love to just draw goofy faces on flat backgrounds every day. But SuRe is as much a love letter to New York City (in particular, Brooklyn) as it is a story about the people living there. So I would be remiss in not including the buildings, the parks, and the streets that make up my life here. In an effort to find a happy medium, I’ve begun experimenting with creating “sets” as a reusable shorthand for outdoor locations. We’ll see how well it works.

On another note. I’m going to be at MoCCA Fest this year with Matt and Jaya of the New Amsterdam Mystery Company and Please Listen to Me. MoCCA Fest takes place April 5th and 6th here in lovely New York City.

Then the next week on April 11th to the 13th, I’ll be at PAX East in Boston with the rest of the Strip Search crew! Come visit us in Bandland!

I’ll be drawing sketches, selling merch, and talking shop at both event, so I hope I’ll see you there!
