here’s the first page, of four, of a short story written by sarrah young for a great book coming out in april called DRAWING THE LINE 2. the book is an anthology put together by cancer survivor suley fattah in an effort to raise awareness and donations for cancer research. rather than post all four pages at once, i thought i’d stagger them till the book comes out. a sneaky way of keeping people aware of it’s impending arrival.

the date is offical! this week we make the transition from webcomic bent on world domination to comic book bent on world domination!

so run, drive, stroll, meander, fly, jump, hop, skip your way on down to your local comic book habitat and pick yourself up a copy of butternutsquash number one! this fabulous first issue is a fat 40pgs of fun with no ads! 30pgs of web-content reprinted in full colour glory with about a dozen new strips added in for fun! the remaining 10 pages contain a special reprint of bns noir from last summer’s tcaf show book, five great pinups by some hideously talented boys of comicbookdom as well as a letters page, a bit of history, rob’s rant, ask evan and a spelling error to boot!

enjoy!

since i posted the inks earlier this month - i thought i’d follow suit and post the coloured pages.

in my precious spare time, as it seems to be a commodity these days, i’ve been happily doodling away at this pinup for b. clay moore’s hawaiian dick series. these are the final inks for the main portion of the image - there’ll be more along the bottom which was drawn and inked on a separate layer. to include it at this preview stage would create a bit of visual chaos.

so this is more or less an in progress post. i’ll share the rest when finished…

just to keep things rolling along, here are some uncoloured pages from the upcoming spellgame #3.

sorry for the cheesy title. had to be done

thought i’d share a little of the process of spellgame with you.

i am approaching my run on spellgame in a very loose style compared to my classic roleplaying game work. the reasons behind this are three fold; first i just wanted to break out of my mold and try something drastically different - and in that respect it’s been quite refreshing. the second; i thought the loose sketch like quality would convey the personality and the tone of the book quite well. the final reason; speed - unfortunately this is something i had to take into account as spellgame is a monthly book - and doing the full gamut on the art requires a lot of work in a short amout of time.
