The Fies Files

I created the comic Mom's Cancer, which won the 2005 Eisner Award for Best Digital Comic and was published by Abrams in 2006. Other honors included the 2007 Harvey Award for Best New Talent and the 2007 German Youth Literature Prize. My second book, Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow?, released by Abrams in June 2009, was nominated for several Eisner and Harvey awards and won the American Astronautical Society's 2009 Emme Award for Best Young Adult Literature. I'm grateful.

The Adventures of Old Time-Traveling Brian Part 3

All the background info you need (or are likely to get, anyway) is at Part 1 and Part 2. I swear, I could draw a million of these.

I'm not saying they'd be worth reading.

As you may suspect, I'm doing these not just for fun but as exercises to try out some different styles and tools (brushes, pens, wash), and work on distilling my work to the bare essentials needed to tell a little story. That's the challenge of cartooning.

But I can't lie. Mostly I'm doing them for fun.

Actually, I'm employing the artist's prerogative of making myself look considerably handsomer than I do in life. I appreciate the feedback letting me know it's working.; June 6, 2012 at 5:36 PM
