CHICKEN!

Okay, so for the last class with the great Steve Bissette (at The Center for Cartoon Studies) we took a hiking trip up a mountain. Seriously, we climbed a freakin' mountain! And it wasn't an easy hike either... well not for us at least. We climbed Mt. Ascutney, elev: 3100 ft (I think), 6 hours toto. I'm sure seasoned climbers and hikers and anyone in reasonable shape are balking at how proud I am of that climb.

In any case, after the climb, Steve asked us to draw a two page comic titled The Mountain and Me... or Me and My Mountain... or maybe it was The Mountain and What I Consider That To Be... interpreted in anyway we saw fit. Above is how I saw fit.... It's just me wallowing in self pity, basically. And freaking out a little bit over life. And also I guess finding another reason to draw a bird head (not that I would need one). Drawn and then later, like just now, colored in photoshop... more coloring practice.

And Sometimes I feel like a chicken.

We climbed a mountain for 6 hours and almost died! Actually, when we finished we turned into chicken heads.
