The Marvelous Land of Oz is a Limited Series Comic from Marvel based on what I can tell is about the side characters from the original story of the Wizard of Oz. This weeks clipping comes from the first of eight issues for the Marvelous Land of Oz. Which appears to be centered around the Scarecrow character.
We all know the story of the Wizard of Oz but this comic takes a new creative look at simply the Land of the Oz. So far it does not have Dorothy or any one else except a live Scarecrow who may or may not be from the original story.

This clipping is inspiring because of the unique moon and artwork putting the scene together. Once again I’ve selected a silhouette like clip of the week, this one as the others has good design & a grid layout in it.
There are only 8 books in this short series so be sure to get in on the plot early on.

It has just about been a month since I’ve been doing this weekly comic book clipping post. The previous clippings have all been inspirational, mostly consisting of great artwork & design.
For this week I’m showing two clippings from the best comic I’m reading right now. It’s called ‘Chew’ and is about a guy named Tony Chu he’s a cop with a secret. A weird secret. Tony Chu is Cibopathic, which means he gets psychic impressions from whatever he eats. It also means he’s a great detective, as long as he doesn’t mind nibbling on the corpse of a murder victim to figure out whodunit, and why. It’s a dirty job, and Tony has to eat terrible things in the name of justice.

The comic has a very odd plot and characters but it is filled with originality and creativity. If you are interested in picking up this comic I don’t want to spoil it all for you so stop reading here.
Here is a logo I designed recently for a software application called SAM. It is short for ‘Stormwater Analysis Module’.
The application is for an architectural & engineering company. The software assists designers in taking the right path to compliance when designing stormwater systems, while assisting the reviewing authority in making sure a permit applicant followed the correct process. It combines the knowledge of the Erosion and Sediment Pollution Control methods, plus knowledge of stormwater process with the ability to store design data and assist
in the decision-making process.
