adding some speed

Kevin encouraged me to add some more movement into the drawings today. It's something I admire in a lot of comic art but don't really do it in my own work. So I figured I'd give it a shot.



Detail of the big kick:


more details:


I like this so far - maybe a bit too subtle. I'll be pushing this a little more as I go along.

Friday night

Wedding weekend! My son is the ring bearer in a wedding this weekend so we had the rehearsal dinner tonight. Lots of fun and plenty of beer. Got home and everyone fell asleep except me. So I poured some rum in a cup and did some drawing. Did the layout for page 5 and got started on the pencils. Happy and buzzed. Nighty night~

Baltimore Comic Con

Sunday I went up to the Baltimore Comic Convention and sat at Matt Dembicki's table for a couple hours with Evan Keeling. Here's Evan and I at the table:



It was my first time at that con and it was a lot of fun. There seemed to be a pretty good interest around the book and we sold 10 or 11 in the 2 hours I was sat there. Here's a sketch I did for Nan Roberts. (She was asking artists to draw either a cat, an owl or a hippo.)



I bummed Evan's brush pen to do the sketch. Really nice pen. (I believe it was a, "Pocket Brush Pen", by Pentel):

Pencils: Bug Bomb #1 pg1

Got a new script from Kevin and I'm jumping in. Lots of bugs bikes and brawls!! Can't wait to draw some of these pages! Just wish I could draw faster....ah well. Hopefully I will have a bunch of regular updates here over the next few months and more. Also I think I figured out a work around for my scanner so things are looking up! Anyway here is the first cut at page 1 pencils.
