Halloween 2018 Comic Strip

This year’s Halloween Comic was hard to read on Gocomics.  I’m posting a larger size here. Here’s hoping Gocomics brings back the zoom feature.  Ideally,  I would love to do the strip as a full page Sunday comic every week. Obviously, that is not the state of newspapers comics at the moment. Happy Halloween!

Art Process: Banners and Bookmarks

Today, I little insight to my art process. Recently, I worked out new pieces in my sketchbook. Starting with small thumbnails, I end up with a decently composited sketch: Rough pencil sketch, 8 x 11 Moleskine notebook. I scan these sketches in with my phone. Quick and easy. The sketch is only a loose guideline […]

Foster Dogs and Happy Endings

A few days ago we took in a little pittie foster, Thelma, from temporary foster family. She had been rescued from a hoarding situation and had demodex. It’s a nasty condition and needs lots of care and also adorable SPF dresses to protect her from the sun. After her foster mom dropped Thelma off, we […]

Speed Doodle from Book Three

I’ll be handing over the manuscript for book three at the end of May. I won’t start on the illustrations for some time. First have to get books one and two all illustrated up. However, as I work through the prose, I take a little time here and there to whip out a speed sketch […]

Sketch Warm Up – Meet the Cast

Warming up to illustrate book one. Like I mentioned yesterday, I’ll be editing book three and cranking out the drawings for book one over the next few months. Yesterday I drew my favorite supporting cast members, the Grubians. Those of you who have read the webcomic will be familiar with these rapscallions. And if you […]

A brief update on the book series.

Time usually flies, however in the case of “The Conjurers”, the series seemed to have fallen into a temporal loop. Much of that was because, from the beginning, I was trying to do something different. Found a few potholes but also found a few things that worked. So where does it stand now? My editor […]

Sneak Peek at this year’s Halloween Comic.

It’s no secret that I love doing a big Halloween strip every year. This one was a lot of fun. I started it a bit early just so I could get in more details. And yes, there are Easter eggs. This preview has one of the more obvious eggs. A little nod to Guillermo Del […]

Mayweather vs. McGregor, not Boxing vs. MMA

  Forget, for a minute, all the hype. All the trash talking, all the money, the cars, the show. These days in MMA and boxing hype is what sells a fight. But it’s not what makes the fighter. Strip all that away and you’ll see what martial arts is all about. Forget all the analysts. […]
