Comics by Will

145. The Last Post

2011-12-06T23:58:00.000-10:00

This is the last post I will be adding to comicsbywill. It's time for a more professional site that I can better use in my search for jobs and opportunities. Fear not, I am still publishing The Sun Also Shines on the Moronic. It's now located here. This is an example of the new direction I'm taking the strip. On this blog, it reads as number 145. At its new home, 'Artwork by Will,' it will be

144. Hawkgirl Strikes Back

2011-11-17T12:43:00.001-10:00

I finally made time for another comic. It'll be appearing in Ka Leo's Nightlife Guide tomorrow. Sneak peak!

Ronald McDonald eats horses

Uncle Sam Eats Babies

2011-09-13T16:43:00.003-10:00

Originally to accompany an opinions article about the poverty gap in America that will appear on kaleo.org Thursday night. Link to follow soon.

John Boehner's Original Tea Party Recipe

2011-06-01T17:15:00.000-10:00

I guess it's pretty obvious by now that I don't care for Boehner. Here's how he and the republican leadership created a monster they can no longer control: the Tea Party.

143: A Meaningful Dialogue at the State Capitol

2011-03-03T21:53:00.000-10:00

So here's what's been happening. State of Hawaii is trying to pay its bills and is stripping everything to find out where it absentmindedly left those million dollar lumps of money lying around. Unfortunately for UH, some of those lumps have been in use in order to run the Chartered Student Organizations (CSOs), which include such unimportant things as student government, the radio station and

142. The Long and Grinding Road

2011-01-06T15:32:00.000-10:00

First comic of the new year is about road paving. Hope you enjoy it.

Verdict on The iBorg

2010-12-14T17:46:00.000-10:00

Well the results are in, apparently, and my comic won! Except that it didn't win any of the top three awards. It won one of the other "almost there" awards. I get $20 out of it though. And the comic should be appearing on Student Affairs' web site at some other time.

Extra, extra, Batman revealed to be Bruce Wayne!

2010-12-13T12:57:00.000-10:00

Funny story about this one, I made it awhile ago for the December 6th issue of Ka Leo. The day after, I saw the news about Assange being accused of rape. Unintentional new levels of depth have been discovered! Also, Batman is Bruce Wayne. Sorry.

141: The iBorg

2010-12-10T22:51:00.000-10:00

A very special "The Sun Also Shines on the Moronic" that has been submitted to the annual Student Affairs College Cartoon Contest. Holy balls! There's a monetary prize for the three best comics! Sweet! Theme for the contest is: "Technology and Campus Life." They have the same theme every year. Usually I hate doing technology related cartoons. Technology is usually cool, not stupid. Stupid

Obesity ruins armed forces recruitment

2010-11-15T15:10:00.000-10:00

"An ever-growing portion of America's 17 to 24 year-olds, about 75 percent, is simply ineligible or unavailable to serve for a variety of reasons, above all, health and weight requirements in an age of spiraling childhood obesity." - Robert Gates, Secretary of Defense, United States of America

Art as more than mere aesthetics

2010-11-11T20:07:00.003-10:00

Artist profile: Sanit Khewhok By Will Caron Editor in Chief Published: Monday, November 8, 2010 Ka Leo O Hawaii Without civilization, artists would be nothing more than hunter-gatherers. With that in mind, it is important for artists to use their skills to benefit society. At least, that's what Sanit Khewhok, the 11th recipient of the Catharine E. B. Cox Award for Excellence in the Visual

Video Coverage of the Hawaii elections now available

2010-11-05T03:15:00.000-10:00

Ka Leo O Hawaii may have made history this past Tuesday night by being the first team to partner with the Student Video and Film Association (SVFA) and send camera crews to both gubernatorial candidate's headquarters to document the evening. It is now available at the Ka Leo website: http://www.kaleo.org/multimedia/video/hawai-i-election-coverage-2010-1.2395517 At the Abercrombie camp were

The Puppet Master and his Toy - also, an article for your perusal

2010-11-05T02:50:00.005-10:00

Caught in the quagmire: the life and times of a despondent democrat The hazy fun of summer is a great recipe for forgetting what happened in the 1st Congressional District last semester, but if you think back hard enough, the picture should come in to focus. The Democrats, divided between Democratic Party-bred Colleen Hanabusa, and the more centrist, independent Ed Case, managed to defeat

140. For You, Our Review of Paranormal Activity 2

2010-11-03T23:48:00.000-10:00

This is a completely true story in every single aspect possible. The movie features a haunted poopy, the movie is, itself, a heaping pile of poopy, my short friend Jane does have rabbit ears, I am actually ginger and Davin is, in fact, an ogre - though a very refined one. Additionally, the Maniacal Mime Mob did, actually, sit behind us in the theater.

The Unballad of Tad the Sad

2010-10-28T21:56:00.000-10:00

My contribution to the Halloween special. It'll be out in Ka Leo tomorrow, but here's your sneak peek. Enjoy!

Preview of "The Unballad of Tad the Sad"

2010-10-19T11:00:00.000-10:00

Gothic Whimsies and Dangerous Doodles is a new "Buried Alive" production that'll feature little short comics with humerus and simultaneously terrifying dialog that would make Edward Gorey roll over in his grave. This is a preview for the first of those aforementioned comics: "The Unballad of Tad the Sad" which will come out in Ka Leo on October 29th. I will be posting it online on October 28th

Warriors vs The Nevada Wolf-pack

2010-10-13T18:29:00.000-10:00

Graphic I did for this Friday's issue of Ka Leo O Hawai'i to accompany a story about the UH Warriors hoping to defeat the Nevada Wolf-pack.

The Masked Donor

2010-10-10T18:51:00.000-10:00

Cover illustration for tomorrow's Ka Leo O Hawai'i (Oct. 11, 2010). Accompanies an article about the John A. Burns School of Medicine receiving a million dollar donation from a source that wished to remain anonymous to the public.

Objection!!

2010-10-10T15:33:00.000-10:00

139. The Fever

2010-10-05T01:19:00.001-10:00

It's been awhile since the last post; such is the busy life of the E.I.C. At least you get a double-dose of win with this one. I miss doing comics an incredible amount - they're so much more fun to work on than running a newspaper. In honor of the one, the only, Justin Bieber showing up at the N.B.C. arena in Honolulu this Friday and Saturday, here's a strip that chronicles the horrendous fever

138. The Secret Weapon

The First Born Main Promo Art

2010-08-22T04:21:00.000-10:00

And here's the completed art work. For the promo I deleted the background layers and turned it into a PNG file so that I could use it as a shaped layer on the InDesign page and place it over the other things in the promo without having a blue box around it.

The First Born Pencil Art

2010-08-22T04:11:00.000-10:00

I'm starting a new Buried Alive production for the UH Webzine Ka Lamakua. The production is called "The First Born" and it's pretty cool. There's a page in the Welcome Back issue of Ka Leo that has a promo for it and I did an illustration for that promo. Here's the pencil work I did.

137. The Steak and Egg Burrito

2010-08-05T17:08:00.000-10:00

Yesterday and the day before I was able to do something amazing. That is, hang out with an old friend I hadn't seen in two years, except over teh interwebs, here in sunny southern California. Though the majority of our time was spent in a rushed attempt to reclaim the lost two years of our shared college experience in a mere two days, we still managed to write a comic together, without even

136. For He Was Eaten By A Fish

2010-07-30T16:11:00.000-10:00

I would just like to say that no children were actually eaten by giant koi during either the making of this strip or the time I spent watching children at the actual elementary school I worked at this summer. Well... almost no children.

135. Die Spock, Die!

2010-07-27T17:23:00.000-10:00

I think I love the last panel of this comic more than my firstborn child, and that's not just because I don't have any children. I like everything about it, from it's bones; a re-vamped background I did for a Quarterdown comic, to the nervous system; the incredibly sexy tones I added, to the muscle and fat; a distressed commander Spock being chased by a crazed, unicorn-riding treasure hunter, to

134. I Have No Reason To Put On Pants

2010-07-27T17:09:00.000-10:00

133. The O's Have It

2010-07-14T21:24:00.000-10:00

See, the cigarette reference makes more sense now (see previous entry).

132. Fiber, Nutrients and Rage

2010-07-07T18:03:00.000-10:00

It's amazing what people will waste money on just because of an advertisement campaign. Cigarettes really are cool.

131. Glandular Momentum

Densetsu Main Spread

2010-05-19T02:32:00.000-10:00

So this is my first entirely, 100% digital image. Even my layouts and sketches were done digitally, which is kinda bad because I'm still not super comfortable with the digital brushes. Still, I think it turned out pretty good! The image is based off of one of my all time favorite DBZ cards. I've inserted my own cast of characters from Densetsu as well as adding the two large figures entirely,

Mm'kay?

2010-05-16T02:32:00.001-10:00

Took me awhile to upload this one, but it's finally here! The Associated Students of the University of Hawaii (ASUH) voted down the chancellor's proposed athletic fee last semester. The chancellor has decided to put the matter before the Board of Regents (BOR), completely disregarding that previous ASUH vote. On top of that, she's decided to ask the BOR to meet and decide on the matter in June

Penny Arcade-style artwork.

2010-05-12T17:51:00.000-10:00

It's always interesting to me to see how people react to emulation (not to be confused with immolation). I've publicly acknowledged my appreciation for and idolization of Mike Krahulik's artwork (and Jerry Holkins' writing too) and have admitted openly that I'm influenced a lot by Penny Arcade in general to the point of emulating their style. Despite this admission, some people, who shall

127. Like Children Again

2010-05-10T11:15:00.000-10:00

Graduation has a funny way of making people happy and sad at the same time. Most graduates are elated to have been deemed "successful" by what ever standards they had been judged for the past however many years. At the same time, a graduation means a step up in the world. "Bigger and better things" and with that, greater responsibility and a more difficult role in society. It's actually rather

Something else I've been thinking about...

2010-05-03T22:15:00.001-10:00

The very day Joe Biden proclaimed U.S. support for Israel, the Israeli government announced the planned construction of new Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank (which goes against every joint report the U.N. has filed on the matter - good thing the Israeli's have the U.S. security council veto in their pocket). If these settlements are to be built on land that was

126. Meanwhile, In Arizona

2010-05-02T21:20:00.004-10:00

We all know that illegal immigrants from Latin America wear burritos on their feet. Whereas legal immigrants from the same region wear enchiladas. Footwear isn't, like, a cultural thing, or an economic thing - it's an issue of legality. The governor of Arizona (I think it was her) advised her police force to look out for “illegals” on this very premise! And everyone knows that she knows what the

5. QDC#5: May 8th, 2009 - "Loss"

2010-05-01T21:48:00.001-10:00

The following is from the quarterdown.com article of the same name and can also be found here. I feel it is in the interest of my reputation (whatever that’s worth) as an artist to say a little something about this comic. First of all, I did not have a seizure or a stroke of any kind that led me to draw and color in this manner, despite appearances to the contrary. This comic is for the twelve

2009-2010 BOP Awards

2010-04-30T20:51:00.000-10:00

The Board of Publications for the University of Hawaii at Manoa presented their awards for Excellence in Journalism tonight for the past academic year. There are number of different categories ranging from news briefs, to photo portraits to comics. The entries are judged by various distinguished members of the Honolulu Advertiser and the Honolulu Star Bulletin. This year I was fortunate enough

125. You Gotta Love Manoa in the Spring

2010-04-27T18:34:00.000-10:00

It's true. I'm a fucking prophet. All weekend and yesterday, I was afraid that my comic would be entirely laughable (which isn't the same thing as funny, damn it!) as we in Manoa enjoyed three straight days of hot, sweaty, sunny weather. I was saved, though, as today this exact comic happened exactly like this to literally billions of students at around 8:30 AM. And then again at around 12:15

4. The Trials of Modern Espionage

2010-04-25T17:56:00.001-10:00

Based off of Tom Clancy's "Splinter Cell: Conviction" which chronicles the attempts by Sam Fisher to discover the identity of his daughter's murderer while unraveling why so many different important factions are so interested in the situation. Because Sam is no longer part of "the system" in this game, the in-game instructions can't be given via headset or walkie-talkie (who would be giving Sam

124. It's A Fair Cop

2010-04-22T08:49:00.000-10:00

Well, it's true. Stoners have no negative impact on my life (except Rush Limbaugh). Politicians, on the other hand, do.

123. Gnomefinger

2010-04-20T16:39:00.000-10:00

I love to imagine the theme song for this movie. Can we get Shirley Bassey in to record the Gnomefinger theme? Seriously, if you ever watch a clip from any sort of political debate or hearing or speech, the comments should activate your gag reflex. I say should because otherwise you're probably one of the people who posted said comments - that or you're a vegetable, or possibly a mineral. I'd

122. Ladies and Gentlemen, Representative Hank Johnson (D)

2010-04-14T12:14:00.000-10:00

Yeah, he really said this. Watch the clip, it's pretty ridiculous - that kind of ridiculous that comes from something being terrifying and hilarious at the same time. There are those who say he was using an elaborate metaphor, that he meant that the marines would tip the "balance" of Guam. This is not what came out of his mouth however. What came out of his mouth was pure, literal idiocy - or

3. The Li'lest Spartan

2010-04-10T15:59:00.000-10:00

It's a real thing. Really.

121: The Apple Is Watching

2010-04-07T02:24:00.000-10:00

120. The iPad Strikes Back

2010-04-06T19:37:00.000-10:00

I still think it's dumb. And that whole bit about the "social experience" was actually said by an actual dude standing in line for an actual iPad when he didn't actually need to.

119. A Special Effects Easter

2010-04-04T13:26:00.000-10:00

Happy Easter!

2010-04-03T19:28:00.000-10:00

The following can also be found on QuarterDown.com along with other nifty stuff. I'm sure this has happened to many of you: you're playing your game, leveling up your character, completing quests and you're really getting into the story. You've immersed yourself in the world of the game, assumed the persona of your character, busted out your wizard robe and hat - you have entered the true domain

How To Draw Your Mario Comixed

2010-04-01T18:46:00.000-10:00

So the way the QuarterDown comic works, is that Josh, the founder of QuarterDown.com, and I brainstorm ideas for the upcoming week. Sometimes we'll post ideas in the author forum and have the writers on the site improve on the ideas, or come up with their own better ones. Then I go and draw the comic based on Josh's (or one of the other writer's) script. After I made the first one, I sent it to

1. How To Draw Your Mario

2010-04-01T18:36:00.000-10:00

Introducing the official web comic for QuarterDown.com (a new kind of gaming web site). QuarterDown.com has reviews, features and editorials about video games, gaming culture, game development, and a whole bunch of other awesome stuff like podcasts. The writers are all bright and wonderfully knowledgeable and bring many different perspectives to the site. Go check it out. It's pretty cool and

The Rape of Higher Education in Hawaii

2010-03-30T11:54:00.000-10:00

Peter Paul Rubens would roll over in his grave. 1) Please see: "The Rape of the Daughters of Leucippus" 2) Go find out what the politicians are proposing to do to UH Manoa. 3) Weep. 4) ??? 5) Profit.

118. The Budget Alert

2010-03-30T11:50:00.000-10:00

"Here, pass these out to the boys in lieu of pay. I bet we could use these to buy land from the Native Americans, they do love toys." I'm paraphrasing; not actually quoting, but Virginia Hinshaw seems to have developed into a very Mel Brooks-like administrator. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, please, please go see Blazing Saddles immediately.

117. A Very Scary Spring Break Special

2010-03-17T16:58:00.000-10:00

The influence of Penny Arcade is again, very apparent in my work. The third panel is almost an exact copy of a panel created by those two web comic sages. Obviously the characters are different but, while the drawing is original, the use of a rear-view mirror, the pink clouds and lens flare, and even the the reason for the panel itself (i.e. stalking) is so immersed in the tradition of Penny

116. Roommate Screening, part 2

2010-03-17T16:46:00.000-10:00

God of War III. I want to play it so badly, despite the fact that, as was made hilariously apparent by Penny Arcade, the plot will be the same as the first two: Kratos will kill everyone. This is a given.

115. Roommate Screening, part 1

112. Gangs of Manoa

2010-03-03T13:24:00.000-10:00

111. The New Gang Problem

2010-03-03T13:18:00.000-10:00

Gangs are series business in these parts.

Self-Portrait

From a photo took over the Summer of 2009. Graphite on paper

Portrait of a Man

2010-03-02T14:56:00.000-10:00

A portrait I did of a model from last Semester's Life Drawing class. Grpahite on paper.

Hero Mask

2010-03-02T14:53:00.000-10:00

Like the Oni Mask, the Hero mask is based, loosely, off of traditional Noh theater masks. The Hero is the side we do want to show others. Not necessarily good though, the Hero side is sometimes deceitful. I tried to show that through the creepy facial expression. Oil pastels on paper.

Oni Mask

2010-03-02T14:51:00.000-10:00

The Oni mask represents the side of us that we try not to let others see. Not necessarily evil, the oni actually carries an ambiguous look on his face. Just because it's not the side we want to show other people, doesn't mean it's bad or wrong. Oil pastel on paper.

The iDrone Mask

2010-03-02T14:48:00.000-10:00

This is a mask of the iDrone (deluxe model). It represents consumerism and materialism and what it does to people. It too is a mask we all wear. Oil pastel on paper.

Zane Mask

2010-03-02T14:46:00.000-10:00

Zane is Harold's best friend, and he represents the more "Id" side of me. He's impulsive, inquisitive, child-like and unexpectedly powerful at times. Oil pastel on paper.

Harold Mask

2010-03-02T14:44:00.000-10:00

So this is a mask I did of the main character from The Sun Also Shines on the Moronic. Since the strip is such a hug part of my life, and Harold embodies a lot of my own personality, I thought it was a good idea to include him in the project. I chose to make masks because masks represent an aspect of a person or a role that we perform. Harold is, in some ways, both. Oil pastel on paper.

The Morning

2010-03-02T14:41:00.000-10:00

The morning is not my best time of day. While I might not actually look like this, I certainly feel like it. Pencil and watercolor pencil on paper.

Arrogance

2010-03-02T14:39:00.000-10:00

When you're really good at something, you start to get cocky. In order to represent this, I decided to use something that, in real life, I'm not proficient at but that is visually interesting and fun to draw. Pencil on paper.

Acceptance and Defiance

2010-03-02T14:34:00.000-10:00

Number Three As we grow older, we experience traumas. We can either accept them, or defy them. Is either path correct? Pencil and water color pencil on paper.

The second from the self-representation project. Depicts most of the characters I've created for various comic projects either within Ka Leo or outside of it. Pencil and ink on paper.

Black and White and Red all over

2010-03-02T14:19:00.000-10:00

The first piece I did in a series of self-representational images for my Advanced Drawing class. This one is a simple, basic expression of how frustrating the world can be. Just based on newspaper clippings, one can clearly see how much idiocy takes place. And that's only news from The Advertiser and The Star Bulletin. Pencil, watercolor pencil and ink on paper and newspaper.

I am The Bat

2010-02-28T15:22:00.000-10:00

My version of a Erik Von Lehmann ink drawing of batman. I changed the muscle structure a little and changed some of the lighting. I actually don't know whether Von Lehmann is a professional or not. I was just looking up pictures of Batman and I found his. If he isn't a pro, his work is certainly of that caliber. The colored version of this picture, complete with background, is really amazing.

Concept Work - Noir 2

More of the same: some bad guys this time.

Concept Work - Noir 1

2010-02-28T15:15:00.000-10:00

Concept work for a Film Noir genre graphic novel set in Hawaii in 2050. Not sure who's writing it and basically just answering an advertisement for "Artist wanted." Note: I don't have any idea what the plot is or what the characters should look like yet, I'm just guessing and going with stereotypes here - trench coats and fedoras.

Mario Concept Art

2010-02-26T15:26:00.000-10:00

So here's some concept art I did for the web site "Quarter Down" which is a game review site created by Josh Harmon. Anyway, the game plan is to do a weekly comic that's half about games, and half about the "fictional office life" the authors for the site. It's still currently in the works, but I'm pretty excited about it, and considering how fucking official the Quarter Down site is already (

My first official logo design. That shit's going on tee-shirts. "Just Thought You Should Know" is a concept created by Ashley Nonaka and Russell Tolentino, the co-editors of the Sports Section for Ka Leo O Hawaii. It's basically an update of what's happening in the UH sports. Like it? Love it? ... those are your only two choices.

A Toby Replacement Comic

2010-02-17T14:35:00.000-10:00

Toby Idian is an artist for Ka Leo who usually fills up the awkward column of space next to the horizontal comics with a silly Cyanide and Happiness-like comic usually based around puns or randomness. Today, he did not turn in a comic and I had nothing to fill in that space, so I decided to make my own Toby comic. Enjoy.

108. The Continuing Trials and Tribulations of Senator Picklescissors: Cupid's "Yes" Vote

2010-02-10T16:06:00.000-10:00

I sincerely hope that the actual politicians (who were actually House Representatives, not Senators) that voted so cowardly to kill the Civil Unions Bill through an impermanent, unrecorded voting method, are hopelessly ashamed of themselves. Did you choose who you fell in love with? May Cupid's wrath strike you hard in the rear - and yes, I realize the connotations of that statement. I don't

107. Van Goghentine's Day

2010-02-10T15:57:00.000-10:00

So this one was unusual in that it was inked and painted on paper, versus in das komputer. This was due, partly, to the fact that I had a gnarly Advanced Drawing project due the next day and didn't have a lot of time for comics and, partly, because it's about a painter. Yes, a painter named Van Gogh. Partly, troubled, partly brilliant, 100% unappreciated. Let's face it, the guy was nuts, but

Drawn the day of the Super bowl, before it had finished, this appeared in today's paper as a simple space filler. It wasn't a prediction, but isn't it nice when life works out perfectly so that I can claim that it was? Yes. The answer is yes.

106. In The Year Of Our Overlord 3010

2010-02-08T13:45:00.000-10:00

Yes, even 1,000 years in the future, stupid-shit will continue to plague us. Also, a giant, polyoptical galactic president that eats souls, harvests husks and shops at the apple store for the latest gadget is my prediction based on current trends. Also some sort of strange Metal Freeza hybrid elf-reporter shall come into being as well ... apparently. Do not allow yourselves to be deceived:

105. The Slab of Perpetual Nightmares

2010-02-03T20:45:00.000-10:00

Apple used to be the rebel. That 1984 olympics commercial of the woman breaking the glass? Rebellious. Getting everyone so hooked on your brand that you can start making useless, market-less, and let's be honest here, stupid products and still expect to turn huge profits? That's some evil empire shit right there. Considering all the collective stupidity of our society today (ahem, voting for

104. This Concept of "Date" Intrigues Us

2010-02-03T13:51:00.000-10:00

This is the "oh crap, I need a comic for tomorrow but don't have a joke" strip. I tend to default back to what I'm most comfortable with, which is drawing people beating the crap out of each other, when that happens. Also, I'd like to point out that the lack of background doesn't mean I was lazy. They're clearly training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber ... okay I was lazy.
