"Tiny Ghosts" started a while back when I had this idea of telling an entire story in just two sentences, kinda like a haiku, but two sentences instead of 17 syllables and with some semblence of plot. So I wrote a bunch of them down, but nobody really cared. Then somebody gave me a copy of photoshop and I thought maybe some photos might make the stories go down a bit easier. You are supposed to be able to use each comic as a jumping off point to create an entire world/characters/storyline in your head. If you feel like thinking that is.

It's about what it feels like to be a monster/ghost/robot/toy/etc. but not the scary kind. It's about being frightened of war and what you might turn into when you grow up if you aren't careful. It's about loss and longing and love and hope and being small and scared of a big world and not knowing your place in it and wanting to belong but always being on the outside and not being sure that God loves you but really hoping he does even though pretty much everyone else thinks you are a weirdo. Stuff like that.

The pretentiously titled "Even in the deepest heart of chaos a glimmer of order can be found" is a 'constrained comic'. The concept is pretty simply. I use a random image generator to pull six random photos off the internet. I don't control the photos or their order. My job as a creator is to add word balloons to these six photos to create a consistent story with a narrative theme. If I do my job correctly, you would swear that I specifically chose the photos, but I didn't, they are random. Get it? Read a few and it'll become clear, I hope.

This comic is made by taking randomly generated photos from the internet and adding captions to make it appear to be a coherent story. Improv!

hiya. thanks for the friending, it reminded me to add your link to my site which i meant to do some time ago. i love your poetic writing style and the random generated image aspect is such a neat concept which i'm sure can be both challenging and inspiring.

I'm loving Tiny Ghosts, because of it's poetic style. Also, I'm scared of Huge Ghosts, becuase, well... they're HUGE.

Tiny Ghosts is awesome, and not just 'cause its Koala Wallopin'

The art is very realistic.
