I've been a huge fan of Lifehouse since August 2007, and I've seen them perform 11 times. I made this picture about a week before the Kean concert, as a fake memento, because I had never met Lifehouse off stage until I saw them at Kean University in October 2008. But it's still good, because I didn't get a real photo of me and Jason. Afterwards I added the autographs to my T-shirt and re-scanned the drawing. The autographs are forged in this drawing, but the shirt really is autographed now.
I started drawing this comic strip in May 2008, right after I found out that Lifehouse knew who I was based on a cartoon picture I drew. I started the comic strip for various reasons; as an outlet for my creativity-inspiring Lifehouse obsession, to entertain my fellow Lifehouse fans, to help fill a lack of Lifehouse-inspired literature on the internet, and because I became addicted (from one instance) to cartoon-prompted band recognition. My addiction was fed again when Bryce told me that he reads my comics and wants to link to this website.
But despite the various reasons for starting this comic strip, I do have a concrete goal for it, which will most likely never be fulfilled: that Lifehouse posts a video of completely random events, and they state that the purpose is just to see what I'll make of it with my comic strip.
Media & Resources
I draw most of the comics with pen. A few of the comics and all of the website illustrations are pen and watercolor. Most of the website illustrations are based on real photos from the LifehouseMusic photo gallery and Lifehouse's MySpace photo albums. To make the comics themselves, I usually spend a long time looking through Becky's huge Lifehouse photo gallery at everythinglifehouse.com to get the right facial expressions and positions. And of course, Lifehouse's YouTube videos are the main source of inspiration for these comics.
