Q & A with TOM GAULD
Tom Gauld has been a favorite cartoonist and illustrator of mine for nearly a decade now. His small self-published books and comics in the early 2000s were a healthy part of my balanced visual arts diet and his drawings and storytelling have only improved over the years. You might recognize Tom’s simplistic, minimalistic drawing style…
TRADING CARDS (PART I)
The last few weeks have brought in a lot of projects and one of my favorites has been making trading cards for science fiction authors. What a fun idea, right! Pictured above is my ink drawing of Ray Bradbury, easily one of my favorite writers since dad lent me his copy of Green Shadows, White…

This is the first in a series of several animations I’ll be making for their clients, as well as their employees….
THE CHAIN GANG
Watch out—today I am unleashing… THE CHAIN GANG is a hilarious 1,000-page ultra comic about a group of unwanted and forgotten bicycles led by Poppa Wheelie that band together to wreak havoc on the world, one neighborhood at a time! Instead of waiting years for me to draw all 1,000 pages, I’m going to be releasing…
WILL DRAW FOR COCO (UPDATE)
For nearly three months now I have been drawing a portrait of the late night talk show host Conan O’Brien—one for each and every single episode of his show since May 15. To date I have made 62 pictures of our friend Coco and plan on drawing a new portrait, each episode, until this October…
NEW WEBSITE!
Hooray—my website, jess-smiley.com is up! Comics, books, drawings, and more! It looks like this: What do you think? Building websites is the bane of my existence, but I finally have something decent to share. I’ll probably put up a post about easy web building in the future, but for now I’m just glad to have…
