Pajama Forest

The Strip:

Pajama Forest is a twice weekly (Monday/Thursday) comic strip that follows the awesomely imaginative adventures of dude named August and his little brother Ed.

The Cast:

	August: A twenty something dude who takes care of his little brother and his Grandfather while trying to have some semblance of a normal-ish life. Has a thing for kites and awkward situations.
	Ed: August’s little brother. Likes to concoct schemes with his Grandpa when August is not around. Loooves him some ice cream sammiches, freezie pops too (not the purple ones). His best friend is a winter coat named Petie.
	Grandpa: August and Ed’s Grandfather. He totally lived through the great depression, which probably made him a little off in the head.
	Lola: August’s former stalker and current lady-friend. Totally has her own hot air balloon.

Who is Evan Diaz?
I’m a twenty something Christian dude who lives with my wife in the Houston, TX area of the world. In addition to working on Pajama Forest, I am working as a freelance artist on a children’s book series, the first of which is due out in Spring of 2010. I am currently also working as a 3D animator and special effects artist for a studio in Houston.

Can we hang out?
Totally.

How do you draw Pajama Forest?
I sometimes sketch out ideas with pen or pencil on scrap paper, but I usually work entirely digitally. I currently use a Wacom Intuos 4 drawing tablet and Adobe Photoshop CS4 to draw all the strips. I might make a visual guide of how I draw the characters at some point in the future.

How long does each strip take to create?
It generally takes around five or six hours to complete each strip. A couple hours to sketch out the panels and dialogue, and couple hours to ink it and a couple more to color and do the finishing touches.
