Mean Time Estimates

Time estimates are fiendishly difficult with complex projects and despite the depiction in this comic everyone is trying to do the best for their team and chances are they are all going to be wrong with their estimates. The comic shows the disparity of estimates given the combination of technical understanding of the effort as well as the chances of being yelled at by the client. It is a very arrangement made for comical effect.

Painted Turtle

This is a comic based on the saying, “If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck then it is a duck.” But with the colorful North American painted turtle. It is based on when I told someone about the photographs I took of them, including the one I used to make this illustration.
Desktops

Web developers/programmers and designers need to work closely together if those duties are handled by different people. As a lead web developer I had ample opportunities of seeing the desktops of my fellow developers and the talented designers and how different their minds worked. This comic showcases the disparity in the laptop desktops. I created it with two little JavaScript-powered web pages, one for each desktop, to add emojis as the icons. I took the photos used as the backgrounds.
