Who Is Norwood Viviano?

Holy smokes, folks. It's been a w-h-i-l-e. But a local spot, The Workshop Brewing Company in Traverse City, recently started hosting a Drink & Draw. So here's my first stab at a new post. Basically, I randomly selected a note on my phone that I have no memory of, and drew a comic. Info on the real deal is below. Cheers!

Turns out Norwood Viviano is an artist that makes some cool stuff. In 2012, my girlfriend (wife now) was telling me about him and we looked him up. You can see his work here. And here's what he actually looks like:

Untitled Update, Part 4

The following two pages will be the last updates on this project for at lease a little while. It makes for a nice dramatic pause in the story. From here, it's on to other magnificent beasts. Let me know what you think...

Still Untitled, Part 3

Building suspense...

As of Yet Untitled Project, Part 2

I think these might be two of my favorites thus far. Though that doesn't say much considering there are only 8 pages.

As of Yet Untitled Project, Part 1

These are the first three pages of a story I've been working on for far too long. But they also serve as an exercise in page construction and limited story boarding. So I create each page as a sort of one-shot scene, although it has a connection to the previous and successive page. This story has also been an experiment in melodrama, where I'm taking a true story of a seemingly inconsequential accident and blowing every bit of it out of proportion, hopefully creating a sense of ridiculousness while stretching my narrative chops, as it were. More pages to come. Enjoy!
