Bissette image

A drawing I did of Steve Bissette is up on Mike Dobb's blog.

Mike Dobbs is a writer and film historian, and as he point out in his blog, not a cartoonist.

Creature Double Feature

Black and White

Color

Sorry, no 3-D


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.

Also, one more page of Chapter 7 to go.

movies and videos

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.

Easter zombies

The Living Dead and the dying living are all the same. Cut from the same cloth. But disposing of dead people is a public service, whereas you're in all sorts of trouble if you kill someone while they're still alive.
-Dellamorte Dellamore

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?

Mustache Man is...

So sometimes characters I draw end up looking like my friends.

This usually happens by accident. This is something that came up in comments way back in December of '07 when the Mustache Man was thought to look like my friend John,here

Do other cartoonists do this by accident also?

Atomic Age Week 4!

Better later in the week than never!



Check back tomorrow, I'm gonna post something new.

Atomic Age Week 3!

Make your own wax museum, Vincent Price style.
This week's Atomic Age Cinema give away was made by Colleen Jankovic.
Somewhere is a photo of the House of Wax audience all wearing their mustaches, but I don't know where.
I often miss my Atomic Age Cinema days.

Atomic Age week 2!

The tiny face candel (just add fire!) was made by Dave Pruett.

Also,

....

Stroll down Memory Street

I finally uploaded my pictures from A.P.E., I only took a few before my camera died, check out the table,


you can see the rest here.

Also, I took some pictures of gifts from Atomic Age Cinema, my old stomping grounds. I'm going to post one a week for a while. They were put together mostly by my friend, John Landis. Here's the first one,

we gave this out with Atom Age Vampire
It's an atomic fireball and glow in the dark teeth.
On the back it reads:
Make Anyone do Anything
You mentally command with your mind alone!
Silently command, control, dominate any one. Say nothing, watch even perfect strangers do what you wish willingly and cheerfully. Absolutely uncanny! Awe inspiring details revealed in SUCCESP Manual Review Folio. Send only $3

New Review Up

Curt Purcell over at The Groovy Age of Horror just gave Amelia a pretty nice review. I forget how I found the groovy age blog, but I've been checking it out for a while now, it has some really cool reviews and looks at old fumetti, novels, and other assorted horror comics. His review of my comic was really pretty cool, making a comic as ...odd as mine is, I sometimes fear sending it out to people, but Curt seemed to get it.

The review is here!
