So I’ve been back at the drawing board, and it’s nice to draw comics again. But while working on Payday, I just felt… dull. I’d spent some time doing thumbnail layouts (and if you’ve been reading, you know how I feel about doing those) and thusly lost the feel for drawing some of the characters. I needed a break from what I was doing. I needed to draw something fun and quick, and I wanted to draw something I didn’t write myself.

Enter my friend, David Hopkins. He was putting together a minicomic called One Night Stand, a project for which he wrote 30 one-page stories and one two-page story, all with different artists. Unfortunately for me, I heard about the call too late. So, I asked him if he had any short stories lying around that he wanted illustrated. At first he wasn’t sure he had any, but after some digging he found a story he scripted in 2003 called Fighting David Parrot and emailed it to me. I had a great time drawing it and my sessions at the drawing board have been injected with new fuel.

Read Fighting David Parrot here.

David’s stuff is fun to read, so be sure to check out some of his other comics.
