The Uncovered Cover

Here's another morsel discovered in my studio clearout – an unused cover idea for what must have been the preview issue (or "#0" if you prefer) of Snarked. I'm glad we went with the one we did, but this one would have been a lot of fun.

Storyteller Rejects

In addition to the short piece I wrote and drew for Archaia's Jim Henson's Storyteller anthology a couple of years ago, I was originally supposed to do an image to go at the front of the book –  but it turned out my style wasn't Lisa Henson's cup of tea. But I did a few roughs before the rejection note came, and I found those when I was cleaning up – so here you go.

Penguin

Did you know that "Penguin" is one of the only words in English to have come from Welsh? I read it in a book.

Shifty Cowboy

Something creepy about eyes being too far apart.

Desert Island Fred

Here's another of the sketches I salvaged in my studio clearout. I like putting Fred the Clown on a desert island. I figure he lives in a world where gag cartoon scenarios are something that happens to everyone.

More Fezzery

Working on a new Fez 3-pager for Aces Weekly .

Fozzie With Bandaged Ear

A couple of Fozzie Bear drawings I stumbled across while tidying up. The first one must predate my working on the Muppet Show comics, because I don't think I would have drawn Fozzie like that later on. The second one... well, I'm not sure quite what I was thinking there. I'm thinking it must have been intended for someone at a convention, because I wouldn't have signed it otherwise. Most odd.

Found Under a Rock

I spent today tidying my studio while I wait for the go-ahead on a couple of things. It needed it - it was looking like a hobo camp. The only thing missing was a pile of burning tyres.

Anyway, under the tottering piles of detritus I found several sketches I'd forgotten I ever did, so I'll put those up here over the next few days. Here's the first.



Also: The Fez is now available on ComiXology, if that's your preferred delivery method. (And it's even had a couple of nice reviews!)

A Little Background...

More animation background jiggery-pokery. I think I'm getting it now.

More of this please

I'm constantly dismayed that all people want me to do is more Thor the Mighty Avenger or Muppets, and all I want to do is stuff like this.
