Scene report: #internationalworkersday on Boston Common

Two pages of comics artwork done in black ink.

Two pages of experimental comics drafts done in a mix of gouache and colored pencil.

Been gathering work for a show @fortpointarts.bsky.social curated by @karlstevensart.bsky.social & found drafts of 1st pages of “Gulls” from “Pleading with Stars”. 1st is plain ink, then gouache/colored pencil/vellum. I ❤️ it, but vellum scans poorly. Used watercolor in final. (See cut out panel)
