In the lead up to the release of Coelary: Blood & Beholden (the first graphic novel), I made this little comic using real polaroids and collage materials. I really liked it but a lot of people didn't seem to notice it, so I'm reposting it here!
this is actually incredible. it looks SO good. i was like, smashing my eyes against the screen trying to figure out how it was done (digitally) :O the way you blended the real media with your artwork looks so so amazing. fantastic work !
Thanks so much for the kind words!!! It helps that I'm a photographer who takes a LOT of polaroids so I'm pretty familiar with their idiosyncrasies and have a lot of reference material to study.
the rest is just this fantastic little gadget: https://www.polaroid.com/en_us/products/polaroid-lab
Seeing this, I don't know how to describe what kind of third eye chakra it unlocked in me. But it inspired me to take grips of my life, and stop grieving my past social lifes I've had over the years. Missing all the people that were once in my life, and regretting bridges burned...
...I realized I kept stopping myself from focusing on the present and the friends I still have now. Thank you, I've always loved your art. I remember first seeing the bar scene and the laudromat pieces in weasyl and followed you around since.
