Jumpin' Jungle Jive!

Another page-in-progress from the sci-fi project I'm doing with writer Chris Kirby. I actually started these awhile ago. It's almost surreal finishing them now, because I'm approaching the pages with all the lessons I learned from doing Alphabet Attack! for 3 months. It kinda feels like I just got out of an illustration boot camp!

On The Slate - Raw Sequential Fishscale

I'm working amid boxes and orderly stacks of... well, everything. But that's not getting in the way of tonight's On The Slate. Above are some piping hot pages you may recognize from the previous OTS. Tonight, both are a bit further on their way to completion.

It feels like a lot of what I've been wanting to achieve in my sequential art is actually beginning to happen on these pages, and some other projects I'm chiseling away at. Guess I better keep it up, if I want to have a book ready for convention season!

On The Slate - Comics-In-Progress!

For today's On The Slate, I thought I'd share snapshots of a top-secret comic project I'm grinding on. These images are the beginning of a pitch for a project with writer Chris Kirby (The Lost Squad). I can't say much, save that it's a sci-fi/action book and the story is incredibly inventive.

Best of all, Chris has given me carte blanche to throw myself at this thing, visually. I'm getting to go ape-poo with it, bringing more raw power to sequential pages than I think I ever have before. Hope you dig the peekaboo!
