I’ve been talking a lot about objects being infused with our presence to the point were they feel like they have taken on a life of their own. This next page again shows a more heightened version of that reality. Prominently displayed are a billboard a trademark mascot “Buiding Head” and a dead tree. Which I have been toying with turning into
it’s own comic book series called “The Adventures of Dead Tree.” Creatively this is how these things go, you invest into a creature or character and they start to kind of talk back to you. Dead Tree told me it wanted it’s own story, not in so many words but after I drew it a seed of a story popped into my head.
Dead Trees
Visually I became invested with Dead Tree. Why not the 3rd Eye Coffee billboard or The Building Head guy? I’m not sure, I wish I knew. Dead Tree just spoke louder. As soon as I finished inking it in I plotted out a few pages, weather or not I do anything more with Dead Tree depends on if it keeps talking to me I suppose. It’s interesting how these thing say “I want life.”
