Enter the world of Curls, a gal with mitten hands who enjoys adventures with her adorable animals friends Pitter Patter, Turtle Neck, Toast of the Town, Conehead, Santa Turtle, and Applause.

The trade paperback CURLS: 2002-2009 Collection of Comic Strips is 7.55″ x 4″ and contains 222 pages of goodness with practically everything I have ever done for Curls in the past few years and contains 200 strips and extra projects I have featured Curls characters in.

Curls started as a comic strip I developed at Virginia Commonwealth University in 2002. The strip was published twice a week in The Commonwealth Times, VCU’s student newspaper and ran until 2004. Since then I have continued creating new Curls strips and this book collects everything I have done so far.

The book includes material I have released before in smaller batches: The College Years, Vacation, Applause the Fighting Fish, The Printable Brain, The Booga Fish, and more! Every college strip… every strip in between all the story line books… everything!

To purchase the book, please head over to the Curls Studio Shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/cartooncarolyn

Thanks for your support,
Carolyn

Results: Curls Twitter Contest

We announced the winner of the first ever Curls Twitter Contest is @rosscott. When I asked him what type of sketch he’d like he replied:

“@curlsstudio Hey thanks for the Twitter Contest! How about a sketch for a fellow graphic designer? Nerdy as you can!”


Well, I did some thinking about it and decided to do a full-on comic strip instead of a sketch. The nerdiest thing I could think of was having Curls throw a Designer’s Halloween Party. As you can see, she is a Photoshop Wizard bossing, oh, I mean “art directing” Pitter Patter the penguin as he adjusts the banner to her liking. Some of the guests came as CMYK and a “bleeding” man. Maybe that’s Steve Jobs in the background? Yeah, think it would be pretty dorky to dress up in honor of design for Halloween, but designers are dorky anyway, so it’s all good.


@rosscott wins the original inked art (which I photographed for you all above) and a print of the color version of the comic. I hope he enjoys his win! Thanks and congrats!
