SUMMER ODDITY

Summer Oddity, a new comic for the baby grand art show, and summer in general.

It’s presented in its complete horizontal format, as it’s presented in the show.

Full comic behind the cut.

This was a fun one, fun once I started going, as usual life put a strain on getting this done when I wanted to, that and I’m an expert procrastinator. At least I’m productive when I can focus. It’s the cooking comic/sing-a-long comic that I’ve been meaning to do for a couple months now, the format is a little different as the pages are formatted as squares, but otherwise I’m quite pleased with it. Probably the most nipples I’ve drawn in a single comic. Formally it’s reminiscent of an awesome issue of Scud the Disposable Assassin where Scud fights Voo-Doo Ben and Sol on the even pages, while Jeff escapes from the hospital in the evens, one of my all time faves. Adding the colors afterward helped a lot, to keep the story lines clear.

This is the first time I’ve inked a comic using brushes, and as you can see by the results, I’m definitely not all that comfortable with it, but I’m going to try and stick with it. Around page 8 or so I started to feel a bit more comfortable with using the brush. And near the end I was many times faster than the beginning. As usual I looked at a lot of Paul Pope and Farel Dalrymple comics, a lot less Taiyo Matsumoto, I think I appreciated these guys even more after looking at what they do with their brushwork and what I’m feebly attempt to do with mine.

Whatever, I hope you enjoy, and check it out at baby grand if you’re in the area until the 12th of Sept.

Tomahawk City, NY

So… Paul Lau and I are making a comic to handout @ NYCC (New York Comic Con) which is about a month away.  We gave ourselves a couple months to do this, however in our infinite wisdom only began drawing last week.  So we’re really pressed for time right now.  I’m not sure what the collaboration is called but it will feature two 12-14 page comics, back to back, like the classic double feature comics of old.

Above is either page 1 or 2 (not sure yet) of my comic tentatively titled “TOMAHAWK CITY, NY”.  It’s supposed to be a nighttime scene so I don’t know if it reads that way.  I feel like it’s a bit heavy on the tones.  Meh.  I am liking my lines so far though.   Hopefully Paul and I can get these badboy’s done and printed in time, and hopefully show some kids that we’re still cool, that we can still hang hahaha.  BTW Paul’s script is really funny.

Hopefully update soon!

EVERYTHING OUTSIDE IS DELICATELY MUTED.

The ever name changing collective of imhotep 2021, and meat pallet have been reimagined as Global Sand Architekten, and submitted an entry to the Sukkah City competition. The sukkah city team is Vivien, Hannah, Justin, and Myself.  In short the sukkah is a temporary structure used in the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, which is a harvest festival.  Each year there is a sukkah built in Union Square, this year there was a design competition for it, and 12 will be built.

Our non-winning entry involved a lace cube, some falsified ruins, and floating trees. It was somewhat hectic putting this board together. Judging by the winners designs shown on the internet, we were way off with our design language, laughably off. Regardless, I like how it turned out, and hopefully the winners can get these things built correctly, because if so I think Sukkah City will be pretty amazing event.

Terrible Horrible Part Deux

The wait is over. That concludes the longest ongoing Terrible Horrible strip ever. So not worth it.

Thumbnailing my new 12 page comic and it’s looking better.

Terrible Horrible

So the last Terrible Horrible was done some time in 2008. It’s 2010 now, thus this new one took 2 years to write and draw. It’s the worst thing I’ve ever made, BUT it’s the longest Terrible Horrible strip I’ve written, because it spans multiple 3 panel strips. I left you with a cliffhanger so you’ll have to tune in later when I post more.

In slightly larger news I would like to explain that this Terrible Horrible is a simple warm-up to getting back into drawing comics again. I finally met Paul Lau in NYC (we’ve met before, once – for like 15 min.) recently and foolishly we’ve decided to combine our efforts and make a split mini together for NY Comic-Con. Ground rules included: 5 characters, we would each get two, and share the fifth who will be an astronaut. We may have had a loose agreement to have it set in NYC. 12 pages each. I’ll explain more as things progress, but until then Terrible Horrible.
