These are from the first few pages from Chapter 7. Amelia alarmed The Mustache Man being shady
So I ended up watching Phenomena instead of Creepers. I liked it a lot, but it got mixed reviews from the room. John was right that it's weird even for Argento. And as Steve said, watch out for CHIMP!
This week I'll be at The People's Academy teaching comics to sixth grade through high school students. Wish me luck!
I'm inking the cover of the new issue now, so far so good.
These are photographs of some panels from chapter 7. Out of context I don't think there's anything spoilery in them. I switched my art supplies, having gained confidence with the brush I am using that instead of the nib for my characters. Sammy with a face full of shame. Sammy being treated like the little brother he is.
I'll post more tomorrow. Also, went to a giant book sale yesterday and got some good looking stuff. Including a VHS copy of Creepers which is the american release of Phenomena, directed by Dario Argento, starring Jennifer Connelly, I haven't seen it yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
Went to Keene this weekend with Steve and Bryan to see this,
It was awesome. It was live horror hosted by Saturday Fright Special It was real cool to meet more people into horror hosting, it's been a long time. They did a great job, it was at an old nice theatre, and it was packed with screaming fans.
I inked this with a brush and nibs as an inking demonstration for a class this year, mostly focusing on the different kinds of lines you can get with the different tools. The coloring was done in photoshop last week.
I go to see horror movies when they come out to theaters near me. A lot of the time they're very bad. I love horror movies, and will always go to a horror movie, but man, it's so frustrating when I pay good money for bad movie. One movie that I saw in theaters and was actually BETTER than I expected was The Uninvited (despite it having a terribly generic name that didn't really apply to the movie at all). A couple days later I drew this in my sketchbook, So anyway, I'm a fan.
What else am I watching and looking at? A lot, but I wont go into all of it, i saw Fear(s) of the Dark, and it was awesome, I saw older movies. But what about movies and videos made by friends and people I know?
I don't know what's going on with Atomic Age Cinema these days, The Cinemat has closed down, so I don't know if they're still doing weekly shows or not, but The Baron and the Doctor were at Horror Hound promoting Dark Carnival.
My friend, Mike Poley, is doing sketch comedy in Orlando Florida, I watch it on YouTube.
Also, I have two more pages to go on Chapter 7 of Amelia. Then I'll start showing samples of it up here. My plan is to have the book ready to go for MoCCA.

In a celebration of the resurrection yesterday, my room mate, Jon-Mikel Gates put on a zombie marathon.
While watching a bunch of shorts and 3 movies I was on my sketchbook, working on the next chapter of Amelia and a short story.
I also drew this, Since convention season is coming up it's time to start thinking about production. So that's my new idea for the cover of the next issue of Amelia. What do you think?
