Super Secret Project Revealed

Friday, May 30th, 2008

I’ve mentioned a Super Secret Project here once or twice. Actually, I think I use it to describe a lot of things. But now I can reveal what the latest SSP is… Toon Tumblers DC Glasses. That’s right, Toon Tumblers, one of my favorite pieces of comic book merchandise and the good china here at [...]

The Bobble Fish was a Tremendously Useful Creation

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Here’s the first photo I’ve seen of the first bobble fish I designed for the Lake County Captains. It’s Buster Bluegill. I’ll be at that game, June 28th, signing statues for anyone who would like. I haven’t done too much three-dimensional stuff, and I was a lousy sculpture student, so it’s cool to see something [...]

Does she speak eloquently? And would she have your baby?

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Here we go, page seven. This has one of my most in-jokey jokes ever, and it’s visible here in panel one. Anyone want to take a guess as to what it is? I thought I was hitting a nice little roll here, but now I’m a little stymied as to page eight. A lot of [...]

My Dulcet Tones, Yet Again

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

I had the pleasure of doing an interview with JJ from Fist Full of Comics and Games. You can check it out here. Hopefully I don’t sound like too much of a dolt.

Grand Theft Auto: Tremont

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Here’s why I love working for Scene Magazine. With Scene, I get to do some really fun stuff. I get to mess around in styles that I wouldn’t normally, and they’re very supportive of such experiments. As a result, I think some of the best stuff I’ve done has been done for them. This one [...]

Numero Ocho

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

I decided to take a crack at the cover for Love and Capes #8 today. It’s Memorial Day, so things are a little slower than normal, but that’s cool. It gives me the chance to do some stuff that I wouldn’t have the uninterrupted time to do otherwise. And this cover will be due in [...]

Tell me what it's like to be the last one standing

Monday, May 26th, 2008

I’ve mentioned it before, but there’s something I really like about doing the quarterly Love and Capes series over the semi-yearly Raider books: How quickly it goes. This is page six, and with that, I’m 25% done with the book. The page has very little dialogue. Technically, there are only four words spoken on the [...]

There's nothing to do that can't be done

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

There’s nothing to do that can’t be done. Things are starting to pick up speed on the marathon that is Love and Capes. Here’s page five, and I got it done yesterday. A lot of pages take two days to hammer out, this one took only one. And, if I’m not careful, I’ll have page [...]

Process Crimes

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

I love process stuff. I love books that go behind-the-scenes of TV shows and movies (like the way-cool Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion) and into artists’ studios and especially Steven King’s On Writing. So, in that spirit, here’s a glimpse into the way I write. I got a little stuck on page five of [...]

Morning Had Broken Me

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Man, waking up at 4:00am will mess you the frak up. I felt like I was in a haze all day, even after I slept for an hour after the show. I managed to pump out a couple more parts of the Scene cover I’m doing. I even finished it this morning (and by morning, [...]
