This is one of those Pages That Will Not Die. I started it sometime on Saturday, and had just the coloring/scripting to do on Sunday. Normally, I can get that done on a Sunday morning as I watch the news shows. This one took all day. And worse yet, I found myself with two great [...]
This video clearly illustrates the dark side of being a freelancer. Thanks to Ande Parks for sending it my way.
Another day, another page. And a page with a shout-out to both Mental Floss and Mid-Ohio-Con. This is actually a silent panel in the story, so there was no copy to remove. I really dig these quiet moments in the book when I can work them in. And I think there’s some really nice body [...]
This was a hard page to break. I actually did two versions of the script and sent it to a friend before committing to the final version. It was one of those great communication moments where I wrote and said "Here’s what I was thinking, but none of it’s very good" and my friend said [...]
Because of my process in working on Love and Capes, I don’t actually have original artwork. But I have started taking commissions for artwork recreations. Recently, I was contacted about recreating the cover for the forthcoming issue #11. Here it is, along with the Figment statue in my office (courtesy of ace voice-over guy, fine [...]
I’m back on the Love and Capes horse, drawing away and working on new pages. I’m taking the opportunity of this long weekend, which isn’t really a weekend off for those of us who are self-employed, but is at least a little slow. I’ve had to cut the copy from the sample panel here, so [...]
Whitney Matheson said some awfully nice things about Love and Capes over on her USA Today blog. Check it out here.
Right before I left for my FCBD adventures, I did a speaking engagement at the Shaker Heights Library. It was a great event, and I taught some really cool kids. One of the very nice touches was that not only did they provide a water bottle for me, but they actually customized it. That was [...]
Saturday was my birthday. I went out for a little training cruise with some Starfleet cadets, and then a man I haven’t seen if 15 years took over the Starship Reliant… wait, no, that’s Star Trek II. Actually I spent a good chunk of my birthday working, first on a particularly huge project that’s lingering [...]
The third Powerful Women sketchbook continues to fill up with some interesting requests. Here’s a recent one for Jadzia Dax from the awesome Trials and Tribbeations episode of the criminally underrated Deep Space Nine. Man, those old uniforms and the Enterprise bridge are fun to draw. There are only about ten spaces left in the [...]
