How to Logjam, Part 4

WHERE to draw LOGJAM?

The ol' pinetop and his pals don't thrive in hothouse conditions, as you can see by my attire. The Logjam studio is located in the woods of the Pacific northwest, where Logjam likes to chill, baby. If the forecast is for warm weather, he might just refuse to come out of the pen.

Cartoonist Generates Ideas Using

Gravity-Defying "WRACK-A-BRAIN 6100"

Photos Reveal How Jeff Hawley Writes

"Logjam" Comic Strips!

Launch Phase: Hawley shown here about to embark on a writing session utilizing the Wrack-A-Brain 6100. Safety is paramount. Bystanders have been herded into nearby bunker to observe. Hawley mounts the Wrack-A-Brain 6100, secures his feet in stirrups. All systems are go.

Alpha Doodle Phase: Hawley uses his own weight and precise positioning of his arms to loose the surly bonds of Earth. Wrack-A-Brain 6100 soon attains level and stable geosynchronous attitude. Gravity and the Cartoonist have come to terms. Hawley's brain begins sending ideas to his pen and notebook. Naturally enough, ideas in this position are level-headed, sober, and non-transgressive.

Brain Whomp Phase: Hawley tilts further back on the amazing Wrack-A-Brain 6100. Hanging at a 45 degree angle, blood surges into cranium, stimulating certain lobes of the Cartoonist's brain that, under ordinary circumstances, sit around doing nothing. Hawley experiences a flood of off-kilter, weird ideas. As neurons reach critical mass, Hawley writes at FTL speed with space-age pen capable of writing while upside down.

Part Two in the continuing series...HOW TO LOGJAM!

As previously noted, you have to write a LOT to keep Logjam growing! Pocket-size notebooks will fill. An archive grows. Sure, there are plenty of ideas for strips in there that you would only dare draw under an assumed name, but remember... there be jewels among the dross.

A peek into my studio. A cartoonist's studio must have toys - - they are a reminder that cartooning is not just work, it's play, and it's fun. Here are a few of mine.

You Better Walk Write

noreply@blogger.com (Jeff Hawley, Cartoonist -) — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 14:23:00 +0000

HOW TO LOGJAM! First in a series. I show you how I create LOGJAM comic strips! Let's begin with writing. Ya gotta write a lot! Because you won't use a lot of what you write. Ah, but it's all grist for the mill! Here's one method: Grab pen and notebook. Slap bright orange "Dollywood" cap on head so that virtually non-existent traffic on lonesome country road will spot you from a half-mile off. Wander down lonesome country road. Think about trees and parallel universes. Write down everything before it escapes from underneath Dollywood cap.

REBOOT YOUR SHADE-O-LATORS!

Bonus LOGJAM FAN ART today! and made by friends Jerry and Kirk, who found a hunk of vertebrae in the woods, added some paint, and transformed it into an eerie likeness of the ol' pinetop. I call it "Bonejam". I love it! I think it has powers. Now when my wife and I play Scrabble, I get a lot more points than I used to. Fan Art Voodoo?

S'more Logjam!
