The latest three-page comics story for the Jewish children’s magazine to which we regularly contribute is up and ready for reading at our Prime Projects section of this site.

This story focused on the creation story, as our hero, Joey is guided to the beginning of time and space by a prickly little ladybug, of all things. The ladybug was fun to design and draw, in part because she was a little impatient and prone to throw the occasional tantrum!

I also had a good time laying out their trip through the first seven days, which provided the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the full bleed off the edges of the pages, allowing the sequence open up and breathe. I don’t like to use those bleeds just because I can, but rather for greatest impact when the story gives me the chance.
