The Halcyon Years – “The Interaction” (2001)
It took a while to find all the loose files that make up this comic, originally published at the end of 2001. But now this quirky little parable is back online. I remember being influenced by Scott McCloud’s “trails,” used to great visual effect in his early comic Porphyria’s Lover. Many of the Halycon comics feature these same visual […]
The Halcyon Years – “Dead Baby Army” (2002)
There was a subset of The Halcyon Years which tried to blend music and webomics.

I came across some lovely photos at abandoned-places.com and started to use Poser to constructs scenes […]
The Halcyon Years “Go Figure” – (2001)
The Halcyon Years was a series of short infinite canvas comics, some of which included early experiments with interactive elements. This particular episode was a straight forward comic, though it was produced backwards. I began by drawing random pictures of clowns, then created a narrative structure to tie the images together.
