Description It's about time I put this up on the net! This is the major piece in my comic book 'Under The Bed' (available from [link] )
This was my main project last winter, and kept me up late on many a cold Melbourne night.
This is based upon a short story I wrote a while back, but I ended up changing the ending rather drastically to incorporate other elements from other stories and also (I hope) to give it a more positive spin. I suppose this piece is about art itself. In a way it is me searching for a ' point' to it all... and the first tendrils of some of the things I found when I was rummaging around in my own attic.... As it was inscribed above the entrance to the Oracle at Delphi 'Man Know Thyself.'
(part 1 of 3.)

i really like it when coics take their time with telling a story and not jumping in.

also the vibe of this kinda reimds me of the movie DarkStar ... but on a bus!

I love how he grows a beard. He must have spent ages on the bus and it makes you wonder what is going on. It's like a post apocylptic world and he is the only survivor or something. Great work!

Please accept my fondest gratitude for being able to view this. I am aghast, I am agog, flaberghasted, a goggled, no words real can describe how I feel right now.

Not since "Contract With God" have I been so stupefied. Brilliant work

your style and the way you use perspective are always an inspiration for me, man. The story, the panels, it's amazing! I just saw a remedios varo exhibit here in our museum of modern art, and your work just came to my mind again, pretty inspiring too!
