Small Wonders

Wow, it's been a month already since I last posted. Work, friends' wedding, tomodachi's were met, new friends were made, countless late nights. Got some prints in process, and enjoying the focus on just illustration and design recently. I find just putting my head down and drawing helps clear up blocks and refocus on storytelling.

 

Had another fun artwalk at Gab last night. Switched out some pieces, and even sold a couple. 

 

Also, I got another bundle of comics, and I must say, vol.2(mark V?) is looking pretty sharp. Will be available here soon. 

 

Came across this in my search for print sleeves today. I have been trying to spend less money on comics in the last few year, but there's something about a good find that just feels right. I can't wait to devour it. 

 

 And, finally, after holding off all week, I let myself read the issue of Copra I had been sitting on. The first arc is dynamic and unique. In the 6 months since I first picked it up at Locust Moon, I have truly looked forward to it every month. I have been moving around alot, so it's the only series I am buying right now, and it really satisfies.

Small wonders in a big, frantic world. Best to all my loved ones and theirs,

Artwalking on the wild side

 Some people perusing my work at Gab Studio during last night's art walk in the Wynnwood district of Miami. It was a ton of fun, some great live music, lots of cool work on display, and tons of neat people flowing in to gape at the art.

  

Both photos are by Michelle Kanaar, who also made amazing chocolate chip and walnut cookies for the event. Thanks tons to her, and to family and friends who came out to check out the art and support the artists.

Star Seed Update

While I'm happy to report another page of Star Seed got inked yesterday, I really need to crank the speed past glacial. It does feel good to see it coming along, and that just makes me want to work on it non-stop, instead of being intimidated by how much I have left to do.

And, I'm not going to say how much that is.

One page a week just isn't going to cut it. But, I got a new job last week, one that will leave me with a little more time, I hope.

Also, if you haven't heard the Beat Bee Sessions podcast, fucking download it right now. Great art music, releasing the inner funky tiger of ink. I have to draw that tiger at some point...

Seriously, go the beginning and listen to every one. Soooo much good jams.

And, that's what I'm all about.

Estre sketch

A sketch of Estre in her space get-up. For the uninitiated, this is probably bordering on very abstract, but most of my art is like that.

Worry not. Soon, everyone will be initiated.

Cue the ominous chuckling to self...

Weird Page

A scene from a script. Been working on Capt. Weird for a bit, but this is his first real inked adventure.

nostalgiposition

Rainy days make me feel restless in a good way. A reason to be stuck inside is a reason to make up new games. To see something in a new light. I had a moment of total nostalgic, giddiness while making this piece. Which is funny, because that is a total juxtaposition of its tone.
