Joey Weiser makes the fantastic Cavemen in Space comic (as well as Mermin, The Ride Home and Tales of Unusual Circumstance) and never fails to make amazing comics and characters. While some artists would scoff at the idea of sharing their tools and methods of working, Joey Weiser has posted a fairly in-depth guide on…
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0YCZ_4XqiY&feature=player_embedded] Ivan Brunetti’s Cartooning: Philosophy and Practice is easily my favorite guide to drawing and writing cartoons and comics, and am excited to know that Yale University Press will be re-publishing the 88-page book this year. I love how small, manageable, easy-to-understand and important this book is. It’s not a How To Draw Like Ivan…
John-Ross Boyce and His Troubles are like the lost boys in Peter Pan, but with musical instruments, an added measure of danger, and a much more affecting presence. I’ve been lucky to have made a few flyers for the band, and am working on another.
Are you sick of hearing about this new comic yet? The Goblin’s Child is a dark story, focusing on a small group of goblins, huddled together in the forest, trying to find a way to save the last heir to the goblin throne. The story itself was a blast to come up with and it…
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3qYk6Fu6eE] Doug TenNapel has been one of my favorite creators, ever since my Dad introduced me to his all-clay computer game,ย the Neverhood, in either sixth or seventh grade. His quirky characters, funky stories and cream-of-the-crop monsters have all been instant favorites of mine and I’m the proud owner of all 10 of his graphic novels.…
This blog needed something colorful, so here is this week’s drawing of the X-Men. There’s also this colorful interview with Aaron Renier (The Unsinkable Walker Bean, Spiral Bound)ย from Inkstuds. Aaron himself warns of his language and subject matter atย 44:30-49:00, but the rest is fantastic!
Today I finished page three of my new short comic, The Goblin’s Child, and it’s just getting more and more fun to draw the more I work on it. Not that anyone asked, but I’m drawing with a ‘fine’ Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pen on 11 x 14″ Strathmore Smooth Bristol board. It’s the same board…
This is strange for me. I don’t think I’ve ever posted to a blog so consistently. Hopefully these posts are doing something good for someone, instead of me just rambling on the internet… This is page 2 from my new comic. It’s slow-going, but steady, so far, and I should be finished with the full…
A few months ago, I was invited to contribute to a comics anthology, but just didn’t have the time (until recently) to work on a story. This comic will be 12 pages long and I’ll be trying out a few techniques I haven’t used before. The trickiest part will be in drawing the detailed, graphically…
From the Doodler’s Anonymous website: Blik, the world’s first removable wall graphic company, is teaming up with Doodlers Anonymous for this next big showcase and we are jumping up and down because of it. But take note: This challenge is a sticky one! Have you ever wanted to go crazy on your wall with a…
