Feef #009

So I finally got around to it and started to study Jack Kirby. I think I sort of get it, a little better, now, mostly, sort of. One thing is that he liked to fill every inch with texture, to the point where it doesn’t even look good. So far I’ve noticed that he was really, really good at outlining bones and muscle groups with hard, flat planes. So that pretty much puts the kibosh on the idea that he didn’t know anatomy. You gotta actually know where the bone goes to put that precise squiggle there, and if it works any other way I’d like to know about it.

Crossposting has been quite wack for this series so far, I swear to you I’m working on it, I desperately need to take a course in web design and get this stuff on track. In the mean time, here are the nine panels of Feef that I’ve published so far:

Gewel and her grandmother.

Dawn in Hamshire, Texas.

Amelia attempts to eat the tie of her great-grandmother’s pastor. We took Amelia to church for the first time, at a very enthusiastic little place in Hamshire. It was actually mad fun.

Gewel about seven or eight years ago, from a picture her grandma had.

A photograph of a photograph of Gewel’s grandmother in elementary school. It was the 1930s in Dust Bowl Kansas, near a town by the name of Hutchinson.

Florida. Amelia and the ducks regard each other with interest.

Amelia over Sarasota Bay.

Sarasota Bay.

Ca d’Zan, a Venetian palace transported to Sarasota for John Ringling about a hundred years ago.

A weird little statue at the Ringling Museum. Knowing what I know about John Ringling I find this statue very interesting.

Gewel and Amelia at Big E’s. I never got this lady’s name, but she was cool.

Amelia sleeping on the floor in Sarasota.

Amelia and me.

Amelia meets her uncle Charles.

Charles and Gewel and Amelia and I go to visit Gewel’s aunt Tomara and her boyfriend Mike.

Charles and the baby like each other.

Rock star Mom.

Amelia meets her grandma.

A painting I found amusing at the Ringling Museum. I bet if you knew who those two guys on either side of the banner were this would be a very witty commentary.

Fascinating image, all the more so when you know some history of John Ringling. I really like the reflected EXIT sign, the artist should have included that.

One of Mia’s friends (I’m sorry, I forgot your name!) at Ringling. We were trying to do one of those photo trickery things but were undone when we realized wings come out the back, not the front.
