Space Cow

My first Mini Comic. Put together my freshman year of high school (a copyright date of 1997) with help from my friend, John Landis.

class starts tuesday

Hope everyone had a happy thanksgiving!
I did, it was my first thanksgiving without some part of my family, but it was good, my friends became my family.
This coming tuesday is my first class at the Sharon Academy. Bryan Stone and I will be teaching a group of high schoolers comic books from now until March. I'm preparing the slide show for my first class right now, a brief personal history as it relates to comic books. It's weird to think how much comics have always been a part of my life, ever since I found a plastic Charlie Brown buried in a sandbox when I was 2.


These are my two favorite pictures from the lecture. You can't tell, but the reason I'm dressed in a suit in the second one is because I liked pretending to be Clark Kent.

New Posters

I've got a bunch of stuff to post about, A.P.E., my birthday, some stuff I forgot to blog about last month. But, instead I'm gonna post pictures. I've had a bit of writer's block, or more accurately thumbnailers block, so I've been making posters for Amelia to just keep busy and practice my brush work.
Here's one of them, based on a photo I took in a New Orleans cemetery back in 2003, I think. The original subject was of course not Amelia, but my ex, Elaine, so that makes this drawing kind of weird.


The other one is even weirder, it's not safe for a general audience, it's got boobs. so I'll just link to my Flickr! page, here

I.K.J.K. at A.P.E.

Here's a link to the I Know Joe Kimpel blog and their post about A.P.E.
Check it out.

A.P.E. samples

So I put together the book for A.P.E. Chapters 5 & 6

Here's a sample not from the actual chapters, but just a little piece of filler art.


This image was the black and white cover for Chapter 5 that I put together for SPX, well now it's in color! It'll be the cover along with a screen printed title.

A.P.E. and Chapter 6

today I finished inking chapter 6, here it is hanging out at my drawing board, I'm going to run down to the CCS lab and scan them pages in, then begins the laborious task of photoshop clean up and putting the book together.

A.P.E.

In not too long I'll be headed to San Francisco for the Alternate Press Expo.
With a new chapter of Monsters & Girls: Amelia.


two shots of the foggy view of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge I'll have at my uncle's place, where I'll be staying on my brief trip.
It'll be fun and cool to make my west coast comic con debut, and it'll also be nice to see my family while I'm in town, my uncle Kevin and aunt Kristy,

and my cousins Meghan and Seamus.

Halloween Card

Mom wanted me to make a halloween card starring her new puppy, Mosie.

Halloween Poster

So I did the illustration for this year's White River Junction Halloween parade and dance.

It's starting to pop up around town.
Here's a close up.

The way this town treats halloween is one of the best reasons to live here, it's a lot of fun. Here's a pic from the parade last year,
Unfortunately I'll miss it this year because I'm going to be at APE in San Francisco at the time. But I'll still have halloween fun, I'm going to hit San Fran's halloween scene with my fellow CCS alumni Colleen Frakes and Emily Weija, as well as my Cousins Meghan and Seaumus!

SPX 08

was fun.

We had two long car rides (the rides are under-represented in photo form, but they were a large part of the weekend).

I had my stuffs at three tables.

Sundays, manned by many people, including Alex Kim who was there with his Xeric book, WALL CITY, and Chuck McBuck, who won Two, count them, TWO, Ignatz!

CCS,

And the IKJK table, manned by Mario VanBuren.


We did some fun Karaoke.

It was laughs.
