I’ve been on a longterm hunt for a way to share the process of creating art with a greater audience. While the finished piece is an experience in itself, for me the process of getting there is what’s really thrilling. I’ve tried out livestreaming but it never really stuck for me. I enjoy events where I [...] I spent a good deal of my late teens and early twenties acting and dressing rather boyish, and it seems like not too long ago I decided to start growing out my hair, filled my wardrobe with dresses, and have started a respectable shoe collection. My fascination with fashion has always been there, but the realization [...] It’s black Friday, and I’m at home scanning in Fox Head Stew! I can’t describe how gratifying it is to be finally getting these finished pages on my computer. I now have the first 40 pages all ready to go, the rest are sitting in a stack to be reviewed, touched up with some [...] I caught the bug that’s been circulating through the offices of San Francisco, and got quarantined to the apartment for a week. For a few days it was just time-wasting, movie-indulging, blankets and hot tea, but then I started to get ideas: stories and songs and dialogue running through my mind while I’m physically unable to pick [...] 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 [...] I spent a good chunk of last week listening to the preview of St. Vincent’s new album “Strange Mercy”. I think it’s incredibly beautiful and exciting, she manages to be moody and lovely and then rip into some crazy guitar riffs. There’s something about her version of “ugly guitar” that is right up my alley. Oh [...] 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 [...] I’ve been working too much. By the time I got to this past weekend I was able to do little more than babble and sit in the park with friends, completely unable to look at a computer screen without cringing, and I finished my commitments, drunk, on a Sunday night. And the really bizarre thing is, [...] Digging through my sketchbook and picking out drawings to include in a digital/print book I’m working on. I’m preparing to go to San Diego Comic-Con in a couple weeks. I don’t have a table per-say, but I’ll update with info on my wherabouts as the time comes closer. I have little idea what to expect this [...] |
