In This City We Shall Build Our Dreams

Today we have the third panel of a webcomic-in-progress from Sam Brown of Explodingdog. Each week, one of your phrases in the comments below will become the title of next week’s installment. And now, a brief Q&A with Sam.

How do you make the Explodingdog art?

Most everything is drawn one of a few ways. The drawings on Explodingdog are drawn with a Wacom Cintiq into Adobe Photoshop.

Drawings on Explodingdog.tumblr.com are often drawn with a pencil, pen, or some sort of marker and scanned into Photoshop. Once in Photoshop the drawings are edited and colored.

For live drawing events I draw with oil crayons or markers on paper.

Why did you choose this medium to make art with?

It wasn’t really a choice. I like experimenting with different tools and ideas and this is what stuck. If I am working on a project or drawing and it is not working or I want to change it, I want to throw it out and start again rather than rework the drawing. Because of that I like to use tools and materials that allow me to work quickly and make multiple versions.

Do you make any other art? With the same or different media?

I draw for myself all the time, usually with just pencil and paper.
