24 Weeks of Sequentials pt. IX

Well here we are at week nine, seriously where does the time go? Hell, imagine how It'll feel at week 24. It'll probably feel like I just blinked and there was suddenly 24 pages in front of me.

Only time will tell, eh?

I'll keep the chatter to a minimum... and now... page 9.

I hope everyone is enjoying these new pages, I'm enjoying creating them. Can't wait to see the finished product in print.

24 Weeks of Sequentials pt. IIX

Happy Tuesday everybody!

Here we are 1/3 of the way done with our journey. Well let's get down to it, here's page 8.

My production style/process is becoming more defined every week. It's nice to see this growth taking place. I've been slowly honing my art to be more on point and not do as much "needless" work that just consumes my time. It's nice to get right to the point. I'll be doing a process post soon for one of these weeks, so keep your eyes peeled.

The Grandpa is out of the Hospital and back in his cave at home. We're still waiting on some test results but for the most part the old codger is as stubborn as ever.

24 Weeks of Sequentials pt. VI

Here we are week six. Time flies and I find Tuesday coming on sooner and sooner. I'd be lying if I said Tuesdays don't excite me though... here's the reason why.

I swear we're going to get out of this alley soon, I've had enough of drawing brick walls in the background. After all you can only do so much to keep it interesting.

Throughout his auto-biographical account of his conversation with Dr Polkinhorn, Ryan has utilized his illustrating prowess to extrapolate the concepts that are being discussed. He's really taking his work to a new level with every page. Ryan is quickly becoming this generation's Scott McCloud.

Until next week,

COMICS REVIEWED BY TONY ISABELLA

Just quick little post...

I dropped of copies of The Chase: A Twist of Fate and the Tao of Snarky compilation to Tony Isabella while at Mid-Ohio Con. For those of you who don't know who Tony is or have never heard of him he's a fantastic guy who has put out some great work in his 31 year career in the Comics field and is rigorously reviewing new comics all the time.

To find out what he thought just click on the link at the bottom of this post.

While your at it check out Max Ink's website and Tony's review of Max's fine comic BLINK (shown to the right you can click through the image as well to go to Max's website).

The best part is that if you want to see some of Max's work in print he'll send you a free mini comic.

But, be warned... Blink is like a drug, once you get a taste you're going to want more... luckily Max provides. Damn the pusher man... and thank him all at the same time...

You'll also find a review of the :01 (First Second) crew's STUFFED!, this is a book I can't wait to read and just need to find the time to get down to my local shop and snag a copy.

E.G.G. Pinup

I guess with a title like that you might need a little more of an explanation.

E.G.G., or Ed G. Gunn, is character created by Rob Forest. He's a Hard Boiled detective that services Stark City as a private investigator.

Rob is putting out a new issue of EGG titled "The Trouble with Dames" with this new publication he asked if anyone would like to do Pinups for the book and to make a long story short here's what I did...

Check out Rob's E.G.G. blog here http://eggnoir.blogspot.com he's got a lot of great stuff on there including his unique style and his noir-ish homages. You should also find another pinup by fellow LADDie Jon Gordon.
