I finally started scanning in Fox Head Stew!
It is the most ambitious project I’ve undertaken yet, and it’s been an entirely new experience for me to work on a graphic novel without sharing it as I go, like I did with Weird Fishes. I sneak photos of the pages and [...]
I’ve been terrified of the idea of drawing Catwoman for years. She’s my absolute favorite hero/villain and she’s the reason I became obsessed with comic books. She’s been re-invented many times over since I started following her adventures, and when I was a kid I was just captivated by this feline, strong awesome lady running [...]
I’ve become a huge fan of Kelly Thompson‘s writing, specifically her drunk reviews of solicits for DC and Marvel comics. While looking at the covers for comics soon to be released, she drinks and critiques the drawing, storytelling, and bullshittery of each cover. It’s hilarious! Her solicits for DC’s December releases were great, and after reading [...]
This saturday, inspired to draw comics and not wanting to stay isolated in my little studio, I brought my work over to Isotope comics where James let me set up at a desk and draw all day! It was extremely productive, I got a bunch of pages inked, and started watercoloring six pages, and got updated [...]
I recently gathered together all of the unfinished comic pages I have scattered around, marking them up and organizing the story. It takes discipline and re-wiring to get your mind back into the groove of writing stories, but once it clicks back in place, it’s pretty smooth sailing. My sketchbook is filling with pages for the [...]
The comics I drew at Noise Pop, along with a bunch of other artists like of Justin Hall and Susie Cagle, are up at 2011.noisepop.com/comics!
Thanks Noise Pop! Thanks [...]
Today I spent the morning at a cafe with DocPop drawing and watercoloring our own versions of classic comic covers! Today I decided to tackle Wonder Woman:
Maybe the silhouettes aren’t completely finished. Here’s the original:
I was also referred over to Covered, and they’ve got a very epic gallery of lots of great artists doing their own [...]
I woke up today with the desire to do some good ol’ cover drawings from old superhero comics. Like cover songs, we can learn a lot from copying other work with our own style. I especially love the cheeky old DC comics, here’s my first one:
Here’s the original cover I worked from:
Let’s see if I get [...]
This has been a crazy month of events! APE came and went in a flurry, and I went and did a comic collaboration at FLAX art with Doc Pop, STORM, Kane Lynch, Nicky Nargesian,Sophie Yanow, and hosted by the wonderful Ed Luce! We all played well, produced 6 comics that each of us worked on, and [...]
Zine Fest was nearly 2 weeks ago already! Here’s some of the handpainted covers I did for the Weird Fishes ‘zine, each one a different color scheme, and limited to 60 copies (and all gone now!)
And here was the sketchbook zine as I was putting it together.
