Heavy use of the Dream Bubble?

Well, I guess my colouring style is really easy to pick out.

My signature is/are palm trees.

Every page in SF has at least on palm tree in every page. Why? I'm not sure, I just like adding them. They also make things prettier and more tropical-ish.

I don't know of any specific signature of my own. Maybe it's my art style. Some people could recognize my style immediately eventhough my art style has changed a bit. Whatever that style is, I may possibly have a certain distinct style of my own.

I've actually gotten a few very welcome compliments on my linework and writing skills (of which the latter pleasantly surprised me) :), but if there is a "signature" aspect to my work, then I would guess it's the aforementioned linework.

Hmm... I can never find my own "signatures" when writing or making a comic. If anything, it's my tendancy to do establishing shots before a scene... ANY scene. Though I don't know if a slightly annoying habit counts as a signature. I also use a common theme in most of my writing which is self-discovery and showing off that "everyone has a dark side."

I suppose mine is my attempt to make complex expressions emote from simple facial structures. My theory has always been that if I can tell what the character is thinking without adding a thought bubble, then I've done my job.

I do the opposite. I have people sympathizing with questionable characters. I just LOVE anti-heroes. I like despicable ego-centrics evolving into hero types and/or joining forces with high moral, law-abiding types. (I believe that, as a child, I was profoundly affected by Han Solo.)

For starters people have commented a lot on the somewhat dark nature of many of the jokes I create, along with the exceptional smoothness of much of my line work. But that stuff is more just skill-related stuff people tell me about than a signature.

For my actual signature characteristics, I would probably say my extremely limited colour palettes. I rarely use more than one shade of gray and more than two colours in a comic. The other thing would be something that's a big difference between myself and other single panel comics: I make the text a graphic element of the panel rather than put it in a dialog bubble. Despite looking at a number of other single panel comics, I have yet to find one that integrates the text as part of the overall image as I do. Toss in the long humor columns that usually accompany the comic and I have a pretty unusual comic I'd say.

I dunno what my signature would be... do I even have one?

Maybe it's the 80's pop-culture references... or more specifically, my musical references.

Or my photographic backgrounds combined with my cartoon characters... but that was more evolved from necessity, as I don't have much time to draw intricate backgrounds by hand.

Or maybe it's just how I customize the "title bar" to fit the overall theme of the strip.

Let me know if I'm missing the big picture here.

Spelling errors and plots that go nowhere.

Welcome back you bastard. :)
