Now it can be told, the cover I did was for the Ft. Worth Weekly. It’s one of those indy alt-papers that I’ve done so much work for over the years. Here’s the cover, complete with text and headlines and masthead and all of that stuff. For those of you techies in the audience, drawn [...]
The fine people over at the Comics Podcast Network have put up their Weekly Comics Spotlight #75. In it, they cover Love and Capes #9, and have some far-too-kind things to say about it. They particularly call out how accessible the book is to new readers. That’s something I work very hard at and it’s [...]
A few years back, shortly after going full freelance, I decided I shouldn’t have to work weekends anymore. It was one thing when I was working for The Man, and nights and weekends were the only time I had to myself. I don’t mind doing my own stuff on my own time, like Love and [...]
I’ve got a coloring project running right now, too. It’s kind of amazing, to me, that I get coloring work. When I was in art school, color was my big weakness. Of course, sitting next to the absurdly talented Sean Tiffany didn’t help. The guy’s got crazy color sense. But, a bunch of artists I [...]
From out of relative nowhere came a job to draw a cover for a client down South. Since I’m showing part of the drawing before it prints, I’m not going to mention the name, not yet at least. The important thing here is that, man, I hate drawing horses. I haven’t figured out the anatomy. [...]
I’ve got a little bit of time before I need to start this, but I did have to do the cover for the "coming attractions" at the end of Love and Capes #10. So enjoy your first look at the new issue.
Oh, yeah. It’s time for the Mocha of Victory. But, thanks to a moment of confusion and the exemplary customer service of the Starbucks Baristas, I got both the venti mocha that I ordered, and the grande mocha that they thought I’d ordered. Bonus coffee, or more accurately, bonus Mocha of Victory. Heck, I deserve [...]
Done, done, DONE! I love doing Love and Capes. But I think love the feeling of being done even more. Technically, of course, I’m not done. I have to do the cover for issue #11, and all the ads and trade dress for the book. That shouldn’t be terribly hard, and I’ve got time before [...]
Mark Waid, who was nice enough to write the intro for Love and Capes: Do You Want to Know a Secret? now has a blog off of the Boom Studios site. Mark’s a great guy, and Boom’s doing some great stuff, so I recommend it. Heck, I’ve added it to my newsreader already. Go on [...]
By popular request, I’ve added some items to the Love and Capes store: First, if you’ve already ordered or bought a copy of Love and Capes: Do You Want to Know a Secret? and just need a self-adhesive individualized bookplate. In the "special instructions" part, put the Love and Capes character you’d like drawn, and [...]
