From Deep Space
From Deep Space; A full length, 84 page comic, written by Johnstone Metzger and Illustrated by Nathan Jones.
"Here are intellectual bodies made of vapour, free to roam the astral spheres at will, to conceptualize the subjects of our studies as hypothetically perfect constructs of pure thought, unfettered by clumsy flesh and blood."
"With clean, clear mystical reverence, the writer Johnstone Metzger, led me out on a heroic, utterly confident journey; across vast empty voids, far, far from home. But as I read the explorers story I began to feel apprehensive. It was all going too smoothly. The illustrator Nathan Jones works with similar beguiling deception. I enjoyed the almost Stalinesqe heroic projection of the invulnerable travelers. upwards, outwards, onwards into the fantastic possibilities of the unknown. The presence of the black void in all of the scenes works like a sweet damn. At first glance it’s quite stark. But Nathan works with such controlled confident strategy, that it quickly allows another subtlety that seems to appear out of the black void itself." Adam Heart

Nathan Jones
A 30 page, black and white, mini zine. Drawing, design, and text for this project was done as a one month collaborative project. Digatal files were traded back and forth by the artists via email allowing for a fluid collaboration on each image. Milk Bone, with total disregard, cannibalizes historical public domain imagery. By way of digital penmanship, new nonsensical mythologies are written.
Stephanie McDonell has a degree in interaction and industrial design from
Simon Fraser University (SIAT). She specializes in graphic design for large format print and has an insatiable addition to illustration and cartooning.

GARF
A tribute to Jim Davis. GARF takes the form of our childhood hero Garfield and stretches, distorts, and deconstructs him through a surreal landscape of his own form. Often one of the first cartoon characters children learn to draw Garfileld, for many children becomes their first insight into a construction based drawing and rudimentary formalist drawing processes. |
Original Art for GARF
This zine was created in full as a finished object, before being reproduced in zine format. All drawings are done with indiaink on 9x12, acid free paper.
