The school semester is finally over for me, and it also means I'm finally done with the first half of my AP Art program. The following is a collection of all of the works I've made so far, including some non-Photoshopped photography, some collages, and a buncha other stuff. If you've been wondering why I haven't been updating The Island, well, here's why:






















And if that wasn't enough, I'm also working on another comic- this one for school! In our Creative Writing class, we've been reading Maus (one of the first graphic novels I ever read, and one of my favorites). Now, over the break, we've been asked to translate the memoirs we wrote into comic-book form. Here's what I've got so far.







If you noticed the pages look a little different than my previous comics, it's because I'm trying out a new system. The pages are still drawn on paper by hand, but with my new Wacom Bamboo tablet (thanks, Grandma!), I'm inking them digitally! I'm having a lot of fun playing around with it, but be sure to let me know what you think of it.

The other big thing that's been occupying my time is college applications and scholarships. I've already been accepted to Savannah College of Art and Design, but I still need to scrape together enough cash to pay for it. Hence, the massive portfolio you just scrolled past that I'm still in the process of assembling. A few more observational drawings, and I should be good to go! In the meantime, I'm also looking into a BSA Eagle Scout scholarship, including one for Jewish Scouts, and my school picked five of my pieces to be entered for the national Scholastics Art and Writing competition, including The Island- here's hoping!

Speaking of The Island, my hopes are that once all of the college stuff is settled, I'll have a little more free time. If nothing else, then the summer will be available. I'm kinda annoyed that it's been dragged out this long, but ah well.

Happy Holidays, Destructoid! I missed you.
