Happy belated Leif Erikson Day! (October 9th) Jarpr gives a Scandimerican history lesson on the importance of Leif Erikson Day.
Had this comic all drawn well before Leif Erikson Day, but due to printer issues I had to wait a while to ink and color it. Got that all worked out now, and happy with how it came out. I love how the colors really pop out in this strip, and it really reminds me of the vibrant colors used by the Fauves, particularly painter Henri Matisse. He's always been one of my favorite artists, and when I started coloring my work I noticed the inspiration come through. I also love the contrast between the black and white ink of the backgrounds and the coloring of the foreground, I feel it makes both stand out more.
Note: Njóttu Dagsins means "Have a good day" in Old Norse.
All art, writing, penciling, inking, and coloring created by me.
