Alec Longstreth

I drew my fifteenth 24-Hour Comic in 2015 from February 14th at 1:00pm to February 15th at 10:00am. First, I drew a panel structure in which each page has the same number of panels as its page number and each page's panels are equal in size. Then I filled it in with a story, which you can read here.

If you would like to try out this panel structure yourself, you can download it for free (or with a small donation if you'd like!) over on Gumroad.com

Hey, Where's Alec? / Isle of Elsi Activity Book

I drew my fourteenth 24-Hour Comic in 2014 from December 30th at 8:30am to December 31st at 1:17am. It was comprised of two parts: an 8-page minicomic called "Hey, Where's Alec?" and a 16-page "Isle of Elsi Activity Book." Both of these projects will eventually be printed, so I am not posting them online. You can read more about these comics in this blog post.

My eighth 24-hour comic is all about my decision to move to Vermont, after living in New York City for four years... it also explains why I cut off all of my hair on August 1st, 2008 and decided to grow my hair and beard out!

Daydream #0007

My sixth 24-hour comic was drawn on Thursday May 18th, 2006 from midnight to midnight (perfect!) Unfortunately, it ended up being really, really personal, so I don't feel comfortable sharing it on the internet. You can read a little bit about it in my blog.

I drew this Roger Rabbit fan-fiction comic for my 5th grade English class when I was 12 years old. It went on to win a blue ribbon in a local art competition! You can read more about its creation on pages 8 and 9 of Phase 7 #010.

I drew this minicomic for the November 2009 release of Uncle Envelope, which is an awesome zine-subscription service for kids! As with P7 Funnies #1, this collection is made up of fun and silly material that I had unsuccessfully pitched to Nickelodeon Magazine.

These are the notes I complied to accompany two lectures I gave on self-publishing at The Center For Cartoon Studies and The Norman Rockwell Museum in March of 2008. They are basically an updated and revised version of For The Love of Comics and represent most of what I learned in the first five years of self-publishing.

These are the notes that Aaron Renier and I created for our lecture at The Center For Cartoon Studies on October 25th, 2005. You can read about our trip in my blog.

This was a special minicomic that I sent out to all the Phase 7 subscribers in December of 2007. It is comprised entirely of material that I pitched to Nickelodeon Magazine and National Geographic Kids which did not make the cut. There are plenty of gags, as well as some silly stories and lots and lots of bad puns.

A series of drawings from my sketchbook. Most are from wandering around New York City, drawing in parks, museums, people's apartments or on the subway.

This second collection of my observational drawings includes: People in parks, people in airports, musicians, a dog, trees, buildings, food and friends.

A 24 page zine designed to promote the Dvorak Simplified Keyboard Layout using the power of COMICS. Visit DVzine.org for all the details, including free .pdf and web comic versions of the Zine!

These sketches and comics were drawn by my GREAT GRANDFATHER, John Claghorn, waaaaay back in 1935. See? Drawing with ink is in my BLOOD!
