So I’ve spent this last week drawing promo stuff for Americus. We’re doing a big promotional push for Banned Book Week, and even though I have some stuff to work on in regards to actually finishing the book, this stuff had a time stamp on it so I had to bust it out first. If […]
Sorry for the absence the last couple of weeks. I feel like a bit of a schmuck for offering to write extra posts for the blog and then disappearing for a bit, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. Drawing AMATEURS, along with some other assignments have kept me plenty busy, but unfortunately has left […]
This week the AMATEURS website went live. The comic isn’t ready to go up yet (Jeremy and I are still working on creating a buffer of pages), but we made a short teaser for the project, which is what occupies the space at the moment. Part of me has wondered if making a preview for […]
First off, I just wanted to say, ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you!’ to everyone that bid on pieces from my last minute art auction! I will be invoicing you today and mailing the works out next week. Expect postcards from Vietnam in the next week or two as well! Anyhow, things are still pretty […]
Still busy with semi-secret artstuff, but I’ve managed to wring out a couple of postable things for this week. IT’S OVER… … RAMBO MONTH that is. Jonathan and I have been watching one Rambo movie a week for the last month, finishing up with the last film this past Sunday. The reasons for this marathon […]
Nothing too fancy this week, just some miscellaneous Willamette Week illustrations that I’ve done that I haven’t posted already for whatever reason. Oops. I think I just accidentally outed myself as a hack – notice how the first three illustration recycle my stock image for ‘generic textured background’. Ha! – – – And don’t forget […]
Just posting some sketchbook stuff this week. More polished work next time…? We shall see… Some more random work: (a) Some character designs of nerds… for the COMIC NRRDS VS THE BIBLE strips I posted a couple of weeks ago. (b) A dubiously agile T-Rex. I’ve been inking sketches I like with the ole’ brushpen […]
Last week, I heard that the Westboro Baptist Church was planning to hold a protest at the San Diego Comic Con. Apparently reading comics is synonymous with “idol worship” to these wackos (and their history of wacko-ness runs long and deep. Just look at their wikipedia page). This line from their announcement caught my attention: […]
So for the decor of the Americus website, we’re treating it as if it was created by the main character, Neil Barton. The tricky thing about this is trying to draw like I’m thirteen years old. After doing some drawings, I realized that it’s easier to draw like you’re five than you’re thirteen. I think […]
I wanted to do a quick piece this week, since I don’t want to show off anything I’ve been working on yet. However, most of my ideas have been some sort of fan art or AMATEURS-related, of which I feel I’ve been posting too much lately. As Jonathan put it, I wanted to think “outside […]
