Ramblings and webcomics from LeEMS
Ask A Slave: A Comedy Web Series starring Azie Dungey that puts all of the “most interesting, and somewhat infuriating encounters” she had while portraying a slave in historical sites on the East Coast. While it is hilarious in a laugh-at-the-stupid-tourist kinda way, it’s also really sad that real questions inspired the show. It makes me embarrassed for my species.
Bring in the hounds.
For drawing a least. My thumb is killing me.

And I made it to a complete 15 page comic. Richard says it’s awesome, so I’m not so bummed that I didn’t make a full 24 again. It will be posting soon.
Good night.
Yo. From page 7:

Page 9 is a big old splash page, so you can’t see it yet.
But page 10 is also done: 
How do you like your peeks?
Page 4: I managed to sneak Levi into the party. I’ll have a better picture of his pseudo costume later this month.
Page 5: He should’ve had a straw.
Page 6: No preview for you. I am not in the swing this year, but I’m not quitting yet. Will you forgive me if I don’t make it all 24 pages?
Alright. I got three pages into “The Halloween Party.” And…I’m only going to show you little clips so I don’t spoil the surprise when I post them for real. 
And now…on to 24 Hour Comics Day. You know, late. After chores.
But I have an idea now, thanks to my Friday lunchtime friend.
Still, so not ready for 24 Hour Comics Day…
I’ve been letting some of my more labor intensive artworks get lost in Bean history. I’ve pulled out a selection of art that I want to make sure has a permanent home and I gave them it. A permanent home that is, on theLeEMSmachine.com. And I did a fancy uniform crop thumbnail arrangement. Not ground breaking…but a first for me. 🙂
Hello there! So, just like last year, 24 Hour Comics Day happens smack dab in the middle of Inktober. Or maybe, smack dab at the beginning.
Anyway, the good just keeps on coming.
I have no idea what I’ll be drawing up for 24 Hour Comics Day, so it will be a surprise for you and me.
And, the set of grey markers might just be my theme…
You didn’t think I’d leave you with a title page doodle I did early in the morning did you?
So, I got this mix pack of grey chartpack markers, which is ink, right. I’m not sure if this is the beginning of a theme or no, but I liked working on this one. No penciling at all, I am happy to say.
All ink, baby.
Happy Inktober.
Hello! I have no theme in mind yet for this year’s Inktober, but I’m going to try and get you 31 ink drawings this month. Jake Parker has a great description/instruction post on Inktober.
I like the, perhaps erroneous, idea that drawings should be only ink on paper, thus upping the difficulty level and increasing the possibilities for errors and/or happy accidents when an artist cannot pencil in a drawing first. I’m going to attempt as little pre-pencil as possible. But other artists do it other ways and it all ends up for some fabulous drawings.
Some other 2013 Intober artists (in my initial search): The Keeper’s Notes, Vanessa Ramirez, Jillian Lambert Art, Drawing the Sword, Sixandsevens, Partial distortion of grape udders, on Tumblr and on Twitter.
