Original Art Sundays # 40a: The Street Giveth, cover, p. 3

The good news: the next page of A Private Myth is completed.
The bad news: I will not post it till tomorrow or Tuesday, as my students need my attention tonight. They're taking online exams, writing papers and wrapping up discussion boards in my Comic Book History class.
To tide you over for a couple days, here are some earlier pages of The Street Giveth, The Street Taketh Away. I'm offering the cover and p. 3.

My energy was way up for these, along with my confidence. The script for the second half of the book needs minor revisions, and the art for some of the early pages needs tightening, but overall I'm quite happy with this work.
New page of A Private Myth in a couple days!

Original Art Sundays # 39: The Street Giveth, p. 7

Interrupted once again by excessive work load. New page is laid out and ready for pencils, but I'm thinking a lot about notions or repetition as narrative devices after watching the documentary on Jeff Smith's Bone last night.
At any rate, here's a page from another uncompleted work. This one, The Street Giveth and The Street Taketh Away, is a meditation on urban life and fear.
Addendum: after talking to a reader who didn't get the page out of context, I need to supply the information that this is based on the true story of 11- year old Tyesha Edwards. She was shot and killed by gang fire in a drive-by shooting outside her house. She was sitting inside the house at the time.

This work, based on a minor incident in my life seen in relation to this large incident in the life of the community, exists as 2/3 art and 1/3 script, and was printed in a small run in that format. It's on my "must finish this" pile.
Next week, as my Comics History class comes to a close and my other job finds its place in my life, more of A Private Myth.
