David Gildersleeve's art

October 9, 2007 6:24 PM

David Gildersleeve is hell of artist, but it's his wordless "boy prints" that really stand out, despite the not so good web interface.

Other prints can be found under prints>boy prints. Poke around in the gallery and paintings for other good stuff.

That stargazer one is wonderful.

(Shades of Kurt Halsey, and screw the haters, that's a compliment.)

I love the Stargazer one, gonna buy it this weekend or next. He's a local artist, actually was in a couple of classes he taught, back in college.

The sequencing in “but dad said” is really well done.

Cute, but....a print? Seriously? "But Dad Said" is Family Circus-level humor in a slightly novel frame format.

Funny ... the dead rabbit strip made me think of Calvin for some reason, but then to set me straight, the next one I click is titled Not Calvin.

I imagine it just exposes me as a small-minded hater, easily manipulated by the artist, but "Not Calvin" kinda turned me against him.

What interface? I couldn't find the interface part.

Yes, your favorite web comic sucks.

I like the boy print series, but can't he ever do a piece that isn't a grid? i would love the Stargazer piece if it wasn't segmented like a normal strip.

I kept expecting to mouse over the image and get a funny punchline, XKCD style. They are kind of a nice quick read, though. All the "stories" are fairly predictable boy-ish archetypes, but it's always nice seeing someone trying their unique hand at telling them.

Also, my personal favorite is "Slow Death at the Mall".... because I uh... still feel like that sometimes.
