Harvey Pickle started out life in this comic strip which I produced while working on my undergraduate at Oklahoma Christian.

After doing comics for a semester for OC’s paper, the Talon, I began to move away from the multi-paneled comic strip format. I funneled my smaller ideas into Moonlings and longed for a deeper format for bigger ideas. I imagined a vast universe wherein Harvey Pickle might live. I imagined many more adversities that a future future man might face, and several friends that would help him along the way.

I hope – one day – to have the chance focus on Harvey and see where he takes me. It’s a big universe. Who knows where we’ll end up.

Tonight I’ve been experimenting with drawing my character Harvey Pickle from different angles and (hopefully) in perspective. As you may be able to tell from this sample, it was a struggle, but I’m happy to be making these discoveries. He’s grown a great deal from my original drawings but I’ve tried to reduce him down to a formula that I can master.

Harvey Pickle is a project I am currently developing. He’s been bouncing around in my head for a couple of years and I have a lot of ideas for him and his universe. I’m working on a script for a comic book style story at the moment. Expect to see some tid-bits here and there for a while as things continue to take shape.

Who is that handsome, floating, devil with Harvey? Why, that would be his co-worker, Lloyd, of course!

Sorry, that’s all I’ve got for you right now (unless you are reading this in the future and there is a lot more content, in which case, you’re quite welcome and I’m not sorry at all).
