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.

more sketchbook

wolf puke

some horror poster, I forget, maybe Breeders, or Parasite?

sketchbook

I'm going to try and post more sketchbook drawings. Here's one from Nightmare on Elm Street III: Dream Warriors. I colored it in photoshop.

HorrorHound and sketchbook

I checked out the latest issue of HorrorHound
and found an article about horror hosting.

The article mentions Atomic Age Cinema and shows a picture of them.
The folks from AAC are also emceeing a Vampira retrospective in Indianapolis this March. So if you're in the area check that out. I wish I could.

Here's a couple sketches I've done recently.

There are more over HERE on my flickr page.

a comic book store I actually like

I flew to Ann Arbor, Michigan this weekend to celebrate Mardi Gras. I'll let that go unexplained.

Whenever I'm in Ann Arbor I go to The Vault of Midnight, a comic shop I actually like.

Here it is, on Main Street.
It's brightly lit, the staff is nice, it's two stories, it seems to get a lot of walk in business and younger people.

One of the things I really like about it is the way it's organized. Every section is well labeled, the kids comics are in the front, the small press comics are in the back.
Then there's tables and racks filled with staff selections and stuff like that.
The downstairs is long boxes and other stuff. The other stuff consists of a bookshelf of Hernandez brothers books among other stuff.
Here's their website

Of course one of the things I like most about them is they sell MY comic.

Have a good Mardi Gras everyone.
