Sweat Teaser

Super excited about this story with my friend, Corey. We have been working on this for a while, due largely to life getting in the way, but it's so close to being done now. So, here's a rough teaser of the teaser....

Wuf,

Wash dump

Been doing some washes lately, working with water colors, and using up all of my old watercolor paper. I like the process, and love the results, but I have so much experimentation to do, what inks with what papers.

I'm also a savage paper scavenger, and like 60% of my art has drawings, ink splotches, or color tests on the back. I even came across some washes from like two years ago.

More wash to come,

Daily DC

 Not sure why, but I hit DC with my warm-ups the other day. Probably because I watch alot of cartoons, and cartoon Black Canary is a total name-taker. and, I forever worship at the altar of Toth...

Also, Paquette's Swampy was probably the best take on the character since Bissette. This version is how I imagine it would look if Daniel Torres drew him.

daily special

I'm reading Chapterhouse Dune right now, the last of the series written by Frank Herbert. I won't go into a Dune diatribe here, but it took me a long time to come around and read the whole series. I recommend it to anyone who likes science fiction. This was a ramp-down from an inking session, and I used up the last of my ink to do a little Reverend Mother sketch. At some point, when I have digested the series and characters more, there will likely be more Dune sketches. Also, I want to distance myself from Jean Giraud's designs for the never-to-be-seen Dune movie, awesome as they are.

Fear is the mind killer.

Mononoke sktch

I completed this piecemeal over the span of 10 months, just having finished it a few weeks ago. This is not my usual process, even working on comics, I tend to do the bulk of the work in one sitting. Of course, there is something to be gained from taking the time to step back and get perspective on your work, but I find that happens intuitively as breaks in the rhythm and flow develop naturally, so I don't typically force it.

I might still tinker with this one, despite that fact that I already signed it. Normally, those are the final strokes, working to seal the energy to the piece, but there are some exceptions.

Sometimes.

doodles for none

The last of my convention doodles for nobody, a sort of befuddled Capt. WEIRD. Which, is my favorite Capt. WEIRD. I was so happy to be at APE, but at the same time, I really just wanted to get back to work on WEIRD, so he was all over my sktchbk that weekend. Then, I came home and immediately lost a week due to sickness. Ah, well, wahtchagawndoo?

Ingest as much vitamin C, raw garlic, and jasmine tea as my mucous-y body would contain, that's what.
