Sinister Bedfellows

[Mckenzee]

I'm getting attention in other venues, so I thought I should pimp myself here too. http://mckenzee.keenspace.com

Wow, this is surprisingly interesting. Some very deep comments and others that are just humorously nonsensical. Very unique concept.

[Kris X]

I've actually already seen this. I like it. You take the picture, right?

[Mckenzee]

I take the photos myself, do minimal editing and write the strips.

I never shoot them intentionally for the strip, I just look through photos I'm taking anyway and see if any work for the comic. The text always comes after the strip.

[Steverules]

I really like it. The photos are fantastic. Your writing is perfect, not so much it distracts from the photo, not so little that it's overwhelmed by the photo. All around good job.

[Underbelly]

Wow. Yeah, this is cool stuff. Some are funny, some are kinda melancholy whimsical.

It's always nice to see something really original and different on 'space.

[Christwriter]

This is probably one of the most fantastic things I've ever seen. It streaches your brain a little bit to get the humor (good thing. VERY good thing) and the combination of photos and writing really is perfect.

I especially liked this one, though. http://mckenzee.keenspace.com/d/20041010.html

I know SO many people like that.

I'll add myself to the acclaim--most interesting. Never--for me--laugh-out-loud funny, but that's not a criticism, only a comment on the quirky and subtle nature of the humor.

[Mr Ekshin]

It reminds me of "A softer world".

But what the hell; your stuff is good. And it's all based on the work of Ashleigh Brilliant anywho, even if the authors don't know it. More along these lines is a good thing.

This is a good strip to find. I recommend it highly. Please keep snapping and captioning.

Peas.

Hi,

I ran into your link on the Trinoc site a week or so ago and read your strip then, so I've had a couple of weeks for it to "steep" in my head and see what I really think. While it's not the genre I prefer, it is original in the photos and wording. A few of the strips stayed with me and gave me reason to stop and think. I will be interested in seeing where you go with this. It is difficult to classify and in some ways reminds me of those greeting cards you sometimes find that follow a similar format, only I think yours are broader and somewhat more complex. In the end I guess the good part is that I would like to see more of your work, so you've captured my interest and that's a large part of capturing minds and hearts. (Also Fandom and Fame but we don't care about that... we're Artists....right? )

Best Wishes


CAT

(Oh.. see you at Trinoc!)

It's like a .....post-modern comic strip. I really like it.

EDIT: After 4 minutes of pondering, I've decided to link you. Mostly because I like the concept. Linking you from my site probably won't mean anything else.

[Cave Monster]

Some really nice subtle stuff. A few comments-

In some of your photos with darker values, the white text bars really flatten them out.

Statues ARE funny.

I don't think the fuzzy borders are doing much for you.

My favorites are the ones with a textless panel that lets the image tell its part of the story.

Hope to see more, these are very fun!

[Mckenzee]

Kicking this back to the top of the list. 2 years seemed long enough to wait.

Glad you bumped this up, I'd never seen your stuff before.
I really enjoyed it's sharp, bittersweet, mellow, funny,
thoughtful content.

Have you ever run into tiny ghosts?

[Mckenzee]

Yeah, Chris did a short story for my anthology and I did a blurb for his. We actually met accidentally at SPX this year.

[Lance]

well you guys do excellent emotionally engaging work.
