If you had a better job, you'd be a shitty artist.
Mini comic-zines are fun to read and share, and Aron Nels Steinke's "Big Plans Number Three" is a great one.
Previous issues have humbly tackled topics like airport paranoia and the elusive nature of childhood memory, but Big Plans #3 is the farthest-reaching yet most personal to date.
Steinke—a Portland indie kid who obsesses over his comics as well as their place in his life—gets invited to attend the 2005 Academy Awards by a friend who works in the film industry.
Steinke swills complimentary cognac, stalks Mickey Rooney in the men's room, and becomes infatuated with his friend's coworker, but he delivers the tale with an intoxicating mix of self-deprecation and quiet confidence
Simply drawn and to the point.
Printed on recycled paper with soy-based inks in Portland, Oregon.
