Children of the Sun



Here's a taste of my 24 hour comic. I may put more photos up. Let me know if you want a copy: lars.volta@gmail.com

I can't believe it's only been one day

I did it! I just finished erasing all the wispy pencil lines. Now it's off to battle with the scanner and to get this beast laid out.

24 hour comic

I'm going to do it. 24 pages, thought of, written, drawn, with a cover, and at least one copy assembled in 24 hours. I haven't started the official clock yet. I will soon, but even though this is absolutely harmless--I mean I know I can do it, but can it be done well?--I still feel trepidation in starting. And that I think is the fun, the challenge, overcoming a thing even if it's uncomfortable, especially if it's uncomfortable.

Wish me luck.

Robot's Errand



Here's my first venture into published comics. I made love with my pen and forgot to use protection. I few days later I get this call from some printer that I'm a father. It's 16 pages long, has full versions of two stories, a triple-stapled spine, and no clipping. One story is about flowers, the other is about war. Here are a few baby pictures:





If you like what you see I would love to send you a copy. Just hop on over to my etsy page or send me an email at: lars.volta@gmail.com

Summer Prints









The first three pieces are inspired by sunsets on Lake Plantagenet during my time working at Camp Thunderbird. The last four pieces are part of a series of monoprints I did after my girlfriend gave me a fresh appreciation for fireflies, something she hasn't seen in Scotland.
