Breaking the Fourth Wall 2007

Every year (for the past two years) I've done a small cartoon of a sampling of characters from my novels, major story fragments, and embryonic ideas. Basically, I imagine what my new characters look like, and get to look back on how much my artwork has grown in a year. I haven't put up the one from 2006 because it's embarrassing to look at even now. So much growth in only a year! I can't wait to see what I come up with for 2008.

The characters pictured are (left to right):

Stick Figure Dominick - from "The Four Friends" in elementary school
Annabelle - from "My Homeland Chicago," another early story that got scrapped (that's why she's so sad!)
Good Cathy/'Angel' - from "Cathy Queen of Evil"
Jessica - from "Past, Present & Probable Futures"
Ashley/my avatar - from "Past, Present & Probable Futures"
Mr. Scotese - real life teacher and in "Sing a Song of Scotese"
Evil Spider - from an unnamed, scrapped story
Mr. C - real life teacher and in "Adventures in Spanish 2 with Mr. C"
Erica - from "Areopagus"
Kyle - from "Areopagus" (he's not blind, but is blindfolded so he won't accidentally see anyone's sins in their eyes)
Minrei - from "Strength of the Fallen"
