"Drive...Breathe Again" (100 Themes -- Update)


I like the idea of "comics improv". You might also call them word association comics. We've all seen "Who's Line is it Anyway" when someone yells out a word and the comedians do the best they can with it, on the spot. I like drawing comic strips that way, responding to challenges, giving myself a time limit, and doing the best I can with it.

One of the challenges floating around now is called 100 Themes. The challenge is to draw one panel or illustration for each. Part 1 (above) I did back in May. Six monthes later, I've got another page done.!

Wow, it's so cool you are doing this Andy! I like how yours is taking the form of short scenes, and telling a story as you go. Keep it up!

I really like the images of "breathe again" - the determination on Andar's face as he leave the sunken car and then the breaking through to the surface to "breathe again." Priceless!
