*** doughboy: Economical Quarterly

Get ready for the upcoming inaugural edition of “doughboy: Economical Quarterly.”

At the dawn of the 20th century, newspaper comics began as monoliths of design, taking up entire pages of Sunday sections and demanding attention. The beginning of the 21st century saw newspaper comics all but neutered, their formidable stature now relegated to tiny crevices and afterthoughts.

This is an attempt in reinventing the newspaper comic strip into something new, yet obviously familiar.

Doughboy Tiepolo

Heavily inspired by the works of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, this diptych is the marriage of the Baroque style with tools and sentiment rooted in 21st century technological palette of machine-aided design.

Both pieces are currently on display at Isaac Hunter’s Oak City Tavern, not far from the Capitol in Raleigh, NC.
