Another one of those things.

I’m selling some artwork again for CHEAP.

But first a comic about my new sale:

Email me here:  noahvansciver@gmail.com and tell me which drawing you want and it’s YOURS. Easy. So easy.

SCI-FI (SOLD)

81/2 x11  I did this drawing for a great website. I like this drawing. It represents my struggle against my own fans. It’s a tough life, man. $30 paypal and I’ll mail it to you.

LINCOLN WALK (SOLD)

10×13?? I am too tired to remember. This is a page I cut out of The Hypo, my much anticipated Graphic Novel coming November from Fantagraphics. $50 bucks plus 5 for shipping gets you a piece of history. Looks a lot better in real life than this dime store digital photo would lead you to believe.

WILD THINGS(SOLD)

9×12 Who doesn’t love that dang book? Only bad people. And you aren’t a bad person are you? That’s what I thought. So, anyway, this is $25.

RAIN(SOLD)

Same size as the other page from The Hypo. Can you believe how many pages I drew for that book that got taken out in editing? (It’s because I can’t deal with life or something. I hide behind a piece of bristol board.) Well, here’s yet another one. $50 plus 5 for shipping.

Thank you!

Things that come from being depressed.

Cow’s head

Here’s an excerpt from a comic I’m currently drawing.

A day at the museum.

Westword, Denver’s Alt. Weekly, sent me to the Museum of Nature and Science to have a good time and draw a comic about it. Click on the image to read the report.

Coronado

Here’s another comic from my sketchbook. The lyrics to my favorite Deerhunter song “Coronado.” This was just me goofing around once again.

Here’s the actual song:

More junky scrawls

This post only exists because I feel like I should have a new post. I’ve been drawing a lot of comics and illustrations for different anthologies and I don’t really have anything to put up here that’s worth anything really. So, I turned to my private notebooks for stuff. I guess they aren’t too private.

A recounting of working on my book, The Hypo.

This comic was drawn on a plane as I was flying to San Francisco to table at APE. I was supposed to pick up some contributer copies of MOME #22 from Eric Reynolds, and I had never met him before. Only talked to him through e-mails while submitting comics to the anthology. This was how I imagined the meeting going. It should be noted that it didn’t go like this. Eric is actually a swell guy.

Here’s another comic that sums up a trip I took to Minneapolis last spring.

See ya!

Because I have to.

Two quick links

Link number one: At length magazine asked the question “What novel would you turn into a comic book if you could?” I and a handful of other comics artists answer this question here:

atlengthmag.com/prose/the-classics-illustrated-comics-project/

Link two: The alternative weekly paper Westword sent me to the Denver Art Museum to have fun and then draw a comic about it. Here it is:

Thank you!

Showing the book.

My goal set last new year’s eve was to finish The Hypo by february 2012. Somehow I managed to finish it early. Well, I’m getting ready to ship the artwork to Fantagraphics, but first off, I wanted the Blammo publishers to get a quick look at it. So, Dan Stafford at Kilgore books got some fat tires and I walked over to the shop on a freezing, snowy night, with the my book under my arms. It was a memorable night for me.

Here’s my neighborhood in Denver, Colorado.

The four portfolios of The Hypo:

Here’s Dan reading the pages.

Zines at Kilgore:

Later that night, outside of Kilgore:

Their reaction at the shop was awesome. Made me feel warm on a freezing night.

They rarely make them like that anymore!

False start.

A few years ago I did this mini comic called “The Hypo.”  It amounts to an early, failed attempt at tackling the book I too vaguely had in mind. I knew that I wanted to do a book about Lincoln but I hadn’t worked all of the details out. I originally wanted to start the story further back in time to 1830 (My book now begins in 1837) and begin it with this story of Lincoln rescuing his dog.

It is hard for me to look at this stuff. What a horrible struggle in every single way. Here’s an excerpt.
