Soonest

Well, it's been far too long since I've updated. Blame my old computer crapping out and Fallout 3. Nobodies Issue 2 starts next month for the Calgary Expo in April.

Vicious Ambitious, the indy comic book label to which I am a part of, started a podcast. You can subscribe to the feed here.

That's all for now.

Future Sailors

Hey,

Here's a pic of me as the Prisoner, done for a giveaway poster at Coversion last weekend. Next we have a Victorian Age Ghost Rider and a Caleb-inspired head pile. Drink and draw is awesome!

I'll be working on a comic for the rest of the month. Still waiting for the Mad Max trilogy to pop-up on blu-ray. I have an itchin' to draw post-apocalyptic Aussies.

When We Say Kettlebell, We Mean Strength

Hey,

Watched Hulk this weekend. Pretty good, everything I expected in a Hulk Movie. I like this new one and the Ang Lee one for different reasons. I drew some Hulk sketches at Murph's after the movie. Here's some Drink and Draw stuff too.

I Can Split the Atom of a Molecule, of a Molecule, of a Molecule

Drink and Draw! The reason I wake up every Wednesday. Tried out hemp paper from this new sketchpad I bought. It's nifty and durable, a nice attribute for one who erases frequently and violently.

Saw Bitch Workhorse

Hello gang,

Its been an eventful few weeks. I had the worst stomach flu ever two days ago. Swore I almost died of dehydration, but I seem to be all better now. The convention over the weekend did really well. All in all my new comic, the Nobodies, was well recieved. A few people have already asked about issue two. That's bloody spectacular to hear and that's what keeps me going.

Finally finished those Marvel Cards. All but one were approved my Marvel. I guess they thought my Enchantress looked like a puffy She-ra. No arguements here. Not my best work unfortunately. I really think the lack of time and payoff quickly squashed my passion and effort on this one. I'm glad I did it, and I did have some fun, but I don't think I'll be doing it again. I can't say I really grew as an artist on this one. I felt rushed, kinda like 24 hour comic book day. You draw to get it done, not to become better or try something different. Live and let die.

It'll be a while yet before Issue two. I want to take some time off to draw for myself again, hopefully reach another plateau. You'll see what I'm fiddling with soon enough.

That's all for now.

Here's two straight-to-pen, drawing from memory sketches of the X-Statix! Dead Girl came out okay, but Guy Smith looks like some queer Hanna-Barbara character.

I'm doing these to brush up on a quick, clean style for the Marvel Sketchcards I'm going to be doing soon. I'm thinking I might actually pencil the real ones and in some cases, use tonal marker. I can't post the actual art until they're approved and the NDA nullified, but that doesn't mean I can't post the prelim sketches.

In due time me chumleys.

South Carolina Accent

Drink and Draw went well for the 20th. We ended up drawing bad/classic marvel Characters from Dan's '89 Marvel Handbook. Here's Tarantula in all his pokey boots goodness!
