Cut-Away Comics! #1: TREE SWALLOWS

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, here's a new mini-comic I just finished. It's part 1 of 3 of a little mini-series called CUT-AWAY COMICS! published by OILY COMICS, available now! Here's some background and sketches.


The story is about young John James Audubon and his early days in Louisville, right as he's starting to really get obsessed with birds. Specifically, the Chimney Swallow.


Audubon has heard about a massive dead Sycamore tree said to house thousands of swallows, and he sets out to investigate.



Hi-Jinx (literally) ensue:

Thumbnails for the entire issue (12 pages, b/w, fully halftoned, risograph printed, $1):

Check it out, and stayed tuned for issues nos. 2 & 3 where JJ really gets into the nitty-gritty cut-aways!
