"Alone and Forsaken" by 16 Horsepower

This is the first comic I’ve finished in about two years. I did the inks around July 2020 and finished it in Clip Studio Paint May 2021.

I don’t make this and post it as a way to fish for compliments; art is how I process shit.

I’m still trying to figure out screentones in CSP, still struggling with moire when viewed online.The inks were done entirely freehand, no pencils.This was also an experiment in doing "instagram-sized" work. I still prefer my work in physical comic book form, because that's how I envision the action/progression when I make comics.

lb-lee: The images seem to be dead?

Aw, dangit. This is an ongoing problem I’ve been having! I can get the java code for the little etsy ad to work on my blog, but not the java code for the Society6 ad. If anyone has any suggestions, I’d appreciate them.

Anonymous: Not much to say regarding recent works. I just really want to say you're a really neat artist! Keep up being the helpful person you are ^_^             

thank you!

Anonymous: i recently came across your comic strip dealing with the relationship Homer, Peter, and Hank had with their sons. I just wanted to say that it was awesome, and a bit thought provoking. i had never put to much thought into those shows besides just simply watching it. i really enjoyed your take on it stuff. im not very good at complementing art and whatnot but yours is fantastic. keep trying cause its only gonna get more amazing! 😊😊   

thank you very much! It means a lot to hear my art got you thinking about stuff in a new way. For me, the goal of art is to communicate, whether that’s communicating my personal experiences or my perspective on something, so it’s really cool to hear that my scribbly attempts at communication are working!

Anonymous: I just wanted to write you a message to say I think you're really great and looking at your art (especially your comics) makes my soul feel good.             

Aw, thanks! Always glad to hear I can cheer the soul.

Anonymous: you're the one who did the therapy comic right? With the chris, bart, and bobby? i want to say at first it was weird seeing them all in the same place. but the message it brough across made me cry so hard because it hit so hard to home. it makes me wish i could be able to do what bobby did at the end. i honestly started cry, I've never really had anything hit me so hard like that. Dont take this the wrong way, its a good thing and what you drew has so much truth to it. I just wanted to tell you

Dang, I don’t think there is a wrong way to take such a heartfelt message. Thank you so much.           

My partner heroically located the cables for the scanner so I can finally post high res versions of these painting studies.

First is geometric shapes with open acrylic paints, second is broad colors with heavy body acrylics, third is open acrylics as the base with heavy body acrylics for defining highlights and shadows.

This piece came about as an attempt to visually depict how I experience music. Possibly due to my Autism, I do not seem to listen to/experience music the way other people I have discussed this topic with experience music. I recognize that there is an underlying meter, a rhythm, a beat, that allows a person to "follow the music;" the beat is also what people follow when they dance. I can force myself to identify and follow a beat, but it requires significant concentration on my part, is not what comes naturally to me, and is not how I enjoy listening to music. My attention often skips back and forth between different sounds, following the bass sounds for several moments because I enjoy that specific section, then switching focus to the crescendo of a violin, to the sound of the singer's voice, the drums, back to violin, bass, voice, a new sound.

By connecting colors, patterns, and material to specific aspects of a musical piece, I have attempted to create a depiction of my experience of the music.

(I also decided to leave the edges of the different photos I took, to give an impression of the number of images needed to create a decent representation of this weaving.)
