Going To California

That's it, folks! I'm walking out the door for ECCC! Makes sure you drop by the Pop Goes The Icon booth Saturday, if you can. I would love to meet you all!

There Goes My Gun

Obviously no one has told this guy that it's dangerous to go pointing guns at things!

I'll be heading to Seattle for the Emerald City Comic Con on Friday! Come see me if you happen to be at the show on Saturday 'round 2PM. I'll be at the Pop Goes The Icon table! Oh yeah, and enter to win some original art while you're there, too! Details...? Click here!

Straight Outta Compton

Rough penciled splash page for the Zombie Bomb! story. I'll be going straight to ink on all the roughs. No tight penciling for this project. There's going to be a lot of dry-brush and splatter on these pages, too! I'm excited about that!

Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow)

Look out!!! Behind you!!! (more zombie scribbles)

Hey! I'll be attending Emerald City Comic Con this coming weekend, mostly as a comic fan. I have a long list of people I want to stop by and see. The show looks to be even better than last year, which is great news because last year's was awesome!

Now, I said *mostly* as a comic fan because I will be there as a creator of comics, too. I'll be doing a little meet and greet at the Pop Goes The Icon table. Not only will I be there to hawk some wares but PGtI and I will also be raffling off the 2 pages I drew for PGtI's premier issue of Omega Comics Presents! That's right... enter to win both pages of original art... for free! All the details are right here!

I'll be mentioning the raffle through out the week and I hope to see you fine people there at the show!

Ramblin' Man

Sorry, folks. Just a page of sketches to show. Haven't had any time or energy to whip something up. I'm sick. Again. Great start to 2010, eh?

Going to be putting all my time into drawing the Last Leaf story, for the Digital Webbing anthology. After that, I've got some zombie stuff to do for the 3rd installment of Zombie Bomb.

After that? Hoping to be going into production on a large project with writer and pal, James Powell. I've also been given word that I may be drawing another Perhapanauts Special, this one written by Rich Woodall. It starts Big, one of my favorite characters from the book, so I'm pretty stoked on that!

I'm rambling, now. Time to go take some decongestant and lay down.

Welcome To The Occupation

Last zombie panel I'll post... for a while. I've finished the art for the Dino Caruso zombie short that will in an upcoming Zombie Bomb volume. I'm going to start on the 14 page Digital Webbing "Last Leaf" short story today, so expect to see some character sketches and rough layout type stuff for that project occupying this space for a while.

I think I'll start doing some more super hero ink drawings, too. Those seem to get the kiddies coming to the site.

Wonderin'

The final inks have been added to this panel. The progression is almost complete. All it needs now is someone to add some colour. I wonder who that will be ...?

Ed Is Dead

This is another panel from the Zombie Bomb story I'm doing with Dino Caruso. On the left is my digital rough and on the right is the result of me inking it traditionally (brush, whiteout and ink).

Can You Taste The Waste?

I'll be inking zombie pages for the next few days, so I was trying to get my zombie ink flowin'. I was inspired by a panel in the first Wasteland trade. This drawing doesn't look like the panel, really, but its genesis was from that excellent book.

Fun Fun Fun

Here's that last panel but with more lines on it. I'm not sure why I'm tightening this drawing up as much as I am. My plan was to do the tightening during the inking phase. I guess I'm still just having fun figuring out how to use the Cintiq.

Business Time

I feel like I`m starting to get the hang of this Cintiq business.

Here`s an almost complete rough drawing of one of the panels for the Zombie Bomb story I`m working on. I still have to draw in most of the zombie figures... but that stuff tends to be easier to draw.

All drawn on the Cintiq.

If You Want Blood (You Got It)

It's been a while since I've posted a full page of sequential art. I finished this page from the Zombie Bomb project the other night and got the OK from the story's writer, Anthony Schiavino, to post it up. Lots of blood in this one...

Anthony will be supplying the colours (and letters) for this short story, too. I should have colour pages from him in the next few days. I'll post one of those later next week, most likely.

Sweetest Perfection

I got zombies on the brain. And hockey. So, here's a zombie hockey player. The perfect combo!

Working Man

Just a quick post to let you all know I'm still around. I've been working on finishing up the Perhapanauts pages (which are done!) and a cover for the Perhapanauts book (which I'm still working on). I can't post any of that stuff, though.... so in the meantime, here's another zombie warm up sketch.

Shoot To Thrill

I am thrilled how this turned out!

Colour on this for Thursday... maybe... I'm in inking mode right now and should probably stick with it.

Marker, ink and whiteout on paper.

Bombtrack

I'm going to be part of an anthology book called, Zombie Bomb!. The book is the brainchild of Adam Miller and Rich Woodall and will be released in 2010 by Terminal Press. The 5 page tale I'm going to be drawing is written by Anthony Schiavino and should be tons of ghoulish fun! You can see some art from some of the other contributing artists here.

In preparation (and for fun) of that little project, I've got this zombie pinup in the works. Here are the pencils for it. I'll do the inks for tomorrow and then throw some colour on it for Wednesday or Thursday (time dependent).

The Perhapanauts inking continues. The pages are looking good. I have to come up with a cover soon, too.

edit* This pinup was inspired by the book Spaghetti Bros., written by Carlos Trillo and illustrated by Domingo Mandrafina. IDW just released 4 volumes of it and it is awesome. Check it out if you can!

There's Gonna Be Some Rockin'

Previous zombie pic but with colour. It took me a little too long to do, as I'm learning to work on CS3 (I had been rockin' the Photoshop 5.5!), but I'm pretty happy with the way it came out.

Have a great weekend!

Tomorrow, Wendy

Another zombie warm-up drawing. Ended up with a real Simonson vibe to it.

I'll try and colour this for tomorrow.
