Pixton: Do-It-Yourself Comics

Yesterday I presented Pixton to another class-full - this time, to Art Direction students at the Vancouver Film School, one of the world's best schools for production, animation, and game design. This was the last class before graduation and we all had fun making Pixton comics. The students had plenty of excellent questions and suggestions. Many thanks to the instructor, Maria Kennedy, for inviting me to come in and talk!

Here is a funny comic made by one of the students:

BubbaMuski. This professional comedian/artistic director from Chicago has an eclectic sense of humor - to say the least. His Amish Technology series is a comical twist of how they interpret modern day techno-gadgets from flying saucers to the xbox.

It's hard to believe but comics aren't only about telling jokes. BubbaMuski puts a creative spin in his Checkers' series that almost send you off the board like it does his characters! If cyborgs are your thing, check out Bubba's Pixtonator. One question seems to remain - is he more human than machine?

Comics come in all shapes and sizes, from super heros to wimpy kids. Midwest Mike may not be either of those but he certainly is the star in his comics. Drawing inspiration from his childhood experiences, Midwest Mike's stories are from the perspective of when he was a young boy and his experiences growing up - both good and bad.

Not only will you find yourself captivated by his words but his attention to detail and artistic ability to create stunning compositions further immerse you in the world of the story.

Perro Volador or "Flying Dog" from Mérida, Spain explores the boundary between fantasy and reality in his comics. His unique compositional style tells a story by using colour and perspective in a subtle yet sophisticated way to draw out the true essence of the moment.

Pixton's automatic translation by Google generates subtitles on foriegn-language comics as you roll over the panels. So if Spanish isn't your native tongue, not to worry - you can still read Perro's comics. Click here to read more of Perro Volador's comics.
