Ok finally wrapped this up! Turned out pretty grim… heh. So, this comic was a bit of a test run with my buddy Jason Lee. He wrote up a short poem and just let me interpret/draw it on my own. I think we’ll probably do more of these every once in a while (happier ones) Hope ya’ll like it! Now, back to drawing colorful people and furry animals
White people don’t you feel unsafe living in a place where, at any moment your neighbor might shoot up an elementary school because Apple store is closed(or whatever white people get upset about)? Like, we really need to discuss this for the sake of white culture. Maybe after they get over this hurdle, white Americans can join the rest of the civilized world.
I wonder if you ever listen to what you say and think, for just a second, “maybe I’m saying something hateful or racist?”
Over years of evolution, white people have lost the ability to understand irony or humor in general. That’s why they like Seinfeld.
“The Last Son of Atlas follows Uahtu, a young warrior woken up from eons of sleep, tasked with finding his brothers and destroying the evil that infests his nation, Atlas. With his sword and shield bestowed upon him by the great Deity of Atlas herself, Uahtu must now fight for a land, family and god he knows nothing about, learning from 3 ancient beasts that guard the Wood, Flood and Blaze and overcoming the monsters the Plague has set upon him.
He just needs to rub the crust out of his eyes first.”
Hello!
Super stoked to launch TLSOA today. All the way up through September 2016 we’re going to be posting three finished pages a month here along with a journal entry chronicling the process and progress and all the blood, sweat and tears that’s going into this comic from our creative team -
Story and Illustration: @jarelledampier
Words: @krissaldana
Colors: Jordyn Holland
We’re incredibly excited to finally share this story with you.
Kingdom Hearts meets Avatar: The Last Airbender; The Last Son of Atlas is a love letter to all the video games and cartoons we grew up with, but also a step outside of them leaving room for Uahtu to find his own story and companions.
Check in next Monday for another page update!

So I want to talk about two questions tonight. The first one is, is art a luxury? Is it only a luxury or does it do something for us beyond that? And the second question is, is there a way that you can create a situation in which the arts flourish. If you think they’re important, perhaps you should be encouraging them in some way. So those are the two things I’m going to address: now to address those I have to come round it in quite a long way around. Essentially I think we need to rethink how we talk about culture: rethink what we think it does for us and what it actually is. We have a complete confusion about that. It’s very interesting. If you talk to 20 scientists – and this is the experiment I’ve done by the way - and say to them, ‘what do you think science does?’, they pretty much all agree. You’ll get 20 versions of a very similar answer. It’s to do with understanding something about the world. If you talk to 20 artists and you say to them, ‘what do you think art does?’ you will probably get about fifteen different answers. And there’ll be a couple of repeats. So here we all are engaged in the creative industries, but at the centre of this is a subject that none of us really have a very clear idea about. What are we doing when we make art, and what are we doing when we consume it? So I’m going to start with a definition of culture. This is treading on very thin ice because a lot of people have attempted this and a lot have failed. So I’m going to make a quite narrow definition of culture. And I’m going to call culture the creative arts. But I’m going to make a very broad definition of what art is. And my definition is quite simply art is everything that you don’t have to do.
great at handling difficult situations, for example, can get his own gloves off WHILE talking to a cute girl AT the same time no problem thanks for asking
so great at witty comebacks
definitely has slept with MANY a lady because, again, Han Solo is a cool guy, and not a grumpy hermit who, were he a person in the world, would spend all his weekends alone in his apartment with his phone turned off watching Ice Truckers
definitely not a weirdo with a shitty haircut who talks to his car
no. mister cool guy. always looks so cool. so cool in a fight
so cool. never panics about everything all the time constantly.
people trust him cause he’s got that cool guy charisma
always knows what he’s doing. han solo. an expert.
in conclusion: han solo, a cool space scoundrel, not a nerd. maybe you’re the nerd around here. hmm. looks like it. check and mate
When I get a boyfriend I am going to send this to him on our seven month anniversary.
