Space aftermath and sketches

So,
S.P.A.C.E. was real nice. I didn't end up making my Amelia 3 preview, just didn't have enough time, so sorry about that. But, other than that I was well prepared for the con and ended up having a great time.
It ended up being a 13 hour drive to Columbus, and on the way back the same amount of time, but all in the rain.
The con itself was not that well attended, but there was still brisk business. One thing that struck me was how nice everyone was. I met some real cool cartoonists, saw some real sweet books, made a couple cool trades. I met Guy Davis, who I've been a big fan of for a long time. I traded with Mark Bloodworth, who's got some real cool comics
After the con a friend of mine who lives in Columbus told us about Studio 35. It's a cool old theater that was having a...get this... beer tasting, local Columbus beers and screening of Pee Wee's Big Adventure! Yeah, so I had a good time.

So, here's some more sketchbook and marker drawings, a couple of these I did at Space.

you might remember this drawing, but with marker color.

More Freddy drawings (have I mentioned how pumped I am for the remake?),


Nancy, final girl


half dragon half centipede, all stupid

I don't know what that is

Amelia
there's more on my flickr page, I might post them later.

Sketchbook samples

Some new sketchbook drawings.
I was at Staples buying cover paper and saw a Crayola marker set for 2 bucks. So I've been having fun with that.

Christopher Lee as Dracula in markers

doodles and stuff. melting guy among other things.

Amelia in the hallways
I'm going to run out of red and green first.

I've also been in a very Nightmare On Elm Street kind of mood.
I'm actually pretty excited about the remake coming out soon.

Freddy with his skin pulled off

Tina

bathtub scene
I drew those while watching the original and colored them later.

So that's that story.
I'm getting prepared for S.P.A.C.E. this week. Should be fun.

S.P.A.C.E. in a week

Hey folks,

As you may know I'm headed to Columbus, Ohio, next weekend for the comic con, S.P.A.C.E.

I'm not done with Amelia part 3 yet, but I'm close enough to put together a con-exclusive preview of it.
Here's the cover,

For the finished part 3 this image will probably be used as the interior front cover.

MoCCa 2010

So, I won't be at MoCCa this year. Sorry all my friends and fans who planned to go just for me :-(

BUT, I will have work in an anthology there. Werwolf 2, a.k.a. Werewolf!!

Cover by Penina Gal. I've seen most of the comics that are going to be in this, and they are awesome!
New work by Penina, Josh Rosen, Nick Patten, Laura Terry, Betsey Swardlick, Mark Bilokur, Matt Aucoin, David Yoder, Jose-Luis Olivares, I think that's it. This is what I showed the samples for HERE

I'm real proud of my work for this story, I think my best inked page ever is in this comic!

just because

Friday!

I just finished my week at Oxbow High School, teaching comics!
Check out my week worth of visitor passes.

I had a fun time. Some of the students did a really good job.

Also, in the background of that picture is Joe Lambert, printing comics on CCS's new copier.

Busy Week

CCS is on spring break this week, but I'm not slowing down!
All week I'm teaching a comics workshop At Oxbow high school!
Today was the 1st day, it went well. We did a jam comic and I gave some basic rules of cartooning.

I'm also stationed at the CCS library today and tomorrow, come on down and I'll check some books out for you.

I also need to finish my werewolf comic (1 more page to pencil, 7 to ink!)
I also am going to start inking something else (secret!)
I also need to watch Lost tomorrow!!
I also need to catch up on Caprica.
Okay, this is degenerating. Here's two panels from Chapter 8 of Amelia.

The Mustache Man is all up in your face, giving you nightmares

Amelia is all up in your grill, giving you bumming outs.

Come to S.P.A.C.E. to get the latest Amelia comic, most likely a convention exclusive.

Werewolf

Here's two panels from a comic I'm doing for an upcoming werewolf anthology.


You can buy this comic at MoCCA from Team Werewolf! More details on that later.

I am working!

Hey all,
I know I haven't shown any new Amelia stuff in awhile. But I have been working on it. In fact the rest of the story is completely thumbnailed and I'm happily drawing away. I pretty much finished inking chapter 8 yesterday. Here's some samples from it.



I'll show some more later this week.

In other news I'm teaching a workshop at a local highschool (by local I mean 30 minutes away) next week! And I'm going to to to S.P.a.C.E. this year!
I'm sharing a table with fellow CCS alumn Matt Young. More on that later.

S.p.A.c.E.

Might go here this year.
