Collect Call From the Mojave Desert
I have recently been searching for new artistic inspiration. Sometimes instead of looking forwards we should look back, to the past. There was a time when comics and zines were a regular form of expression for me. I think it was art school that tricked me into thinking that they were a lesser form of art. But as an artist I should know that what ever I choose to create becomes my art and I need to stand by it.
I heard a story about a phone booth in the middle of the desert. The story inspired some drawings and those drawing gave me the idea to cary the story further. Maybe share it with more people in a different way. This decision to get back into comics has opened up a whole new world of inspiration to me. I'm looking forward to the next one (currently in the rough stages of creation).
It is not my intention to create a high quality comic book here. I wanted to make a completely DIY style "mini comic" like I have done in the past. Simple photocopied books. All the drawings are originals. All the words are based on my own research. It's been more phone then I can really explain and I am so proud to see it done in it's tiny physical form. I can only dream of a future where there is maybe a third or fourth edition of Collect Call F rom the Mojave Desert. But the first edition is good enough for me.
