Jasper — Mon, 25 Jun 2018 15:47:28 +0000

Time Commute is a seven-page comic (8 including front cover) about the making of the Boston subway told from the perspective of someone who draws people on the subway (or actually through his drawings…, anyway you just have to read it…). The comic combines drawings in ink that I made during my commute on the Boston subway (all on the spot), with watercolors in sepia that depict scenes from the past, based on historic photographs.

7 pages comic, 1 page cover (8 pages total), size 8.5 x 11 inch. The comic is in black and white (passages dealing with the present) and sepia (passages dealing with the past). Pages are printed in color and b/w on 100lb gloss paper.

Out of print.
