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 [...]

This weekend I revisited some pieces from earlier this year and reworked them in new ways for a group show I’m in at Public Works. First, I took my portrait of Patti Smith and printed it out, cut out the shape with a razor and played around with the negative and positive shapes on [...] 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’ve been avoiding my post on Comic-con and maybe it’s because there’s just too much to tell. I saw so many awesome people, went to some great parties, drew drew drew, made new friends, got the word out, and pretty much had a great vacation. It was all the fun parts of this business without all [...] 
My limited print run of hardcover, color art books came in the mail today! This is my first time trying Print on Demand, and they turned out great. Soon I’ll make them available to order, but I’m bringing copies with me to Comic-Con, and you might be able to find them at Allen Spiegel’s booth (#4701). I [...] I recently decided to make a career change, and managed to arrange it so I had a month off in-between jobs. I’m nearly at the end of my break, and the transformation my mind has gone through during this time was much-needed and fulfilling. There’s barely been a moment to be lazy, since I’ve been running [...] Something interesting happened when I decided to take a break from working on my comic. I had been buried under the current “Weird Fishes” storyline, trying to construct a fictional band, send Dee on some crazy dates, and merge some monsters into their world, and I hit a wall. For the first time in years, I [...] 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 [...]  What a weekend! Saturday night I headed over to Mission Comics and did my reading from new Weird Fishes material. I got some laughs and think the visuals turned out well, and I want to keep on doing readings and getting better at it. There’s only one way to get good at public performances, and I don’t [...] |
