Village Voice Restaurant Review Comic


I was lucky enough to get this short 9 panel comic assignment from the Village Voice recently. This was the first time I've done a comic using a script that someone else wrote. In this case, the script is a restaurant review. I think this may also be my first color comic. I tweaked the saturation up for the newsprint version so hopefully that will turn out well.
The issue of the paper that the comic appears in is coinciding with the MoCCA comics festival in NYC and the paper for that week is going to be all comics and illustration so it should be a fun one to see. I hope my comic contributes to a memorable issue. Thanks to John at the Voice for a fun assignment. I also just noticed that the website has a pretty nice slide show of the comic (panel by panel) and uses it in a couple spots on the home page this week. Check it out while it's still up Here.

That's awesome! I almost went in to check because I had only one reference photo to work from, but I'm happy I got him. I hope they like it, I took a lot of liberty with the coloring compared to the actual tables and walls, etc.
