Last week

People have been hogging the scanner in the lab. But here are a couple comics about the freeway takeover, finally:




As I suppose is to be expected, I came out of the experience way more radicalized than I was going in. The cops seriously fucked up some of the girls I was in jail with (bruised bones, apparently someone fractured her elbow?) and as an eye witness, I can safely say that the protesters were not provoking the cops at all. Also, some 16 year old boy jumped off the freeway and fell 40 ft on to concrete. Bummer.

I managed to snap a couple photos before being cuffed, there are a few more on my facebook, plus a mix of other things that have been happening in my life.

Progress

I am getting better about studying, but getting worse about keeping this updated.



I tried playing around with ink washes, but wasn't particularly satisfied with the results.



Progression from February to March. (Click for larger images)

I also have a lot of ideas for comics about the March 4th protests and the 20 hrs I spent in a jail following the freeway occupation. Hopefully coming soon.
