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

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".

SPX 2010

So!
Spx is this weekend! I'll be in Bethesda, Maryland. Selling Amelia parts 1 through 3!
That's Saturday and Sunday. I'll be at table G-14 with several other very good cartoonists.
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.

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?

Amelia 3 cover

I'm working on putting together the next issue of Amelia for SPX.
This is the finished inks for the cover.

Here's a close up the eye.

It'll be a sticker, the veiny background stuff will be screen-printed. I'm working on that now.

Saw and Amelia

Does this poster for the new Saw movie look familiar to anyone?


maybe a little like this?


or this?

Amelia Samples and other stuff.

Some new samples from Chapter Nine.

A penciled panel.

Amelia cruising around in her bad-ass car.

Also, not Amelia related, but a panel from Thimble Theater that I really like.

Unreachable Breasts

My friend and fellow cartoonist Nick Patten has a new blog.
It's got dirty drawings!
I made a drawing for him,
Unreachable Breasts
Check them out, they're not safe for work!

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.

Popeye from his first appearance to 1960.

Popeye's first panel.

Spooktacular IV!!!

This will be awesome. If you're anywhere around the area GO! GO! GO!

Chapter Nine promos

Here's from finished inks from Amelia Chapter Nine.


A new character, who just happens to look a little bit like one of my old roommates. He's in it for all of 4 panels.

Amelia's a little hesitant to try that door.

Amelia getting back into her car, more on the car later. I might do a whole post about that, someone remind me later.

Amelia is startled by the mirror

Amelia thinking, with dark lines on her face.

I've been pretty happy about these new pages, I've been putting a lot more lines on the page and really liking that.
