Halloween zombies and such

SO,

It's going to be a busy week for me, which hopefully means multiple blog posts.

First,

On Saturday, October 30th I'm going to be at Comic Boom in Keene, New Hampshire. I'll be doing a Halloween signing of Amelia 1 through 3 as well as a new 1 dollar comic (more on that next post)!! I'll be there with Steve Bissette, Bryan Stone, who will be debuting Funny Aminals 2(I did the back cover for it), and I think some more CCSers.

After the signing we're going to go to Spooktacular V! They're screening Return of the Living Dead. More details at Saturday Fright Special. They're live horror hosting it, it's going to be awesome, they'll have prizes and a raffle. I'm donating some original art to it, check it out,
return

Second,

This Sunday's Family Circus was super creepy by the way.

third,

Oh, did you guys see the Amelia pin-up Josh Rosen did for book 3? It's awesome.

Post SPX Post 2010

Yall,

So SPX is over. It was tons of fun. I saw some old friends who I've missed. Got some real good comics. Played free pin-ball at my cousin's house and drank their beer. Over all a good time.
Here's me at the table with my books and my Nerdlinger I got it for Best Character in Fishnets: Amelia
Denis St. John and Nerdlinger Award!
Picture provided by Jen Vaughn.
My table mates were Holly Foltz, Tim Stout, and G.P. Bonesteel.
I also drove down with Keny Widjaja, Holly, and David Yoder

I haven't read all the books I got yet, but so far I'm really digging them, maybe I'll write more about them later.
But now it's back to the "real world".

But on Friday I'll be in Baltimore for the Nerdlingers where I'll be receiving something or another.
So!
If you're in the area come and see me!

Amelia 3 cover finished

So here's one of the finished covers from the new Monsters and Girls.
coverscan2
First I screen printed the cover,
which I hadn't done in a long time. I used a green paper and a blue paper.

Then I printed the eyes on label paper and cut them out with an exacto knife,

Then I stuck 'em together. I think it looks good, here's the other color,

So, I still have to print the guts, I'm waiting on some fan art first (if anyone out there has any they want to send my way...)
Have I mentioned yet I have a new roommate?

Popeye

Yesterday I helped teach a character design class with Steve Bissette for the CCS summer workshops.
I used Popeye as an example, since he's awesome. Here's some pictures I used.

More more sketchbook again again

Okay, so I was over at Bryan's house for a drink n' draw,

Kevin Uehlein and I went on a crazy mid-90s X-Man rant, which led to me drawing these,

x-battle2

Then José-Luis Olivares inked my pencils for this drawing,

That same day I drew these funny aminals,
