Sellin' you wisdom from a plexiglass prism.
I'm Hazel Newlevant, a cartoonist attending SVA.
I've self-published a lot of cool mini-comics, and even a coloring book! You can order them online from my other website, newlevant.com
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I really like our second single, a semi-legitimate power-pop jam! Celebrating life with handclaps.

I made some music! Our band is Earl Pleasure, and our first single is “Deja Vu Level 2.” It’s a psychedelic cult funk jam.

Yo, I’d like to be surprised by some chips right about now.

Collaboration with Jesse Reklaw for a future Blue Fuzz anthology.
Jam comic from the Portland Zine Symposium, where we drew the panels in reverse order. Me, Gariet Cowin, William Coker, Jeremy Tiedeman, Jesse Reklaw, Cameron Hawkey, Kinoko Evans, Orly Marella Cowin.
Craig Thompson and Chester Brown duking it out on the battlefield of love! Park of a collaborative comic with my buddy Laura Lannes. Want to read the rest? It’s in Jesse Reklaw’s new anthology Fuck Up, debuting this weekend at the Portland Zine Symposium.
If ordinary jam comics aren’t competitive enough, you can play a tic-tac-toe game with the panels! Drawing the panels out of order actually tends to make the comic more cohesive, since you’re building toward the same goal. Peter Schmidt and I did this one for Matt Madden’s Obstacle Course class; he was X and I was O. The game was a draw.
Jam comics done at the Gotham City Lounge (superhero themed dive bar - enough said) with Hazel Newlevant, Suzi Glass, and Hilary Allison. The art and jokes got progressively weirder as the night went on…
These are the ones from Molly’s sketchbook! That gray marker makes it look so classy.
Inaugural tumblr post, wow! These are some jam comics I did during spring break at Gotham City Lounge in Bushwick with Molly Ostertag, Hilary Alison, and Suzi Glass. That place is the joint. Those girls are the joint. (Can you “tag” other tumblr users in a post? I’m still learning).
