I’ve got several things to tell y’all about:
Flyer artwork by Monica Ramos. Facebook event page here.
A snippet of “The Cockroach.”
Sample of the minicomic Origin of Stoner Alien.
Squidface & the Meddler has posted a five-page preview of Vortex #3. Click the screenshot to check it out:
I finished drawing Vortex #3 this past week! It’s not quite done yet (I’ve still got post-production to do – patterns, tweaking, and corrections) but I feel good about getting this far. Here’s a preview of a double-page spread:
I’ve drawn 96 pages of Vortex so far. I think I can wrap the whole thing up in a fourth issue but there may be a fifth one also. But most likely no more than that! I’ll have details about Vortex #3’s con debut and release party soon.
Previewing my tif files in Google Drive does interesting things to them. Here are corrupted versions of all six pages of my latest comic:
I think its works as an abstract comic. Props to Josh Burggraf for pointing this out to me.
I finally finished the six-page full-color comic that I’ve been working on and blogging about for the past few weeks. It’s going to be in the third issue of Future Shock, a sf anthology edited by Josh Burggraf.
Here’s the first page as a preview:
I’m pretty proud of this one, I put a lot of work into it. By the way, if you’ve wanted to buy the first issue of Future Shock or other comics put out by Josh that I’ve mentioned, they’re now available through the Birdcage Bottom Books distro.
Here’s a large version of my self-portrait for the Digestate contributing artists section of the revamped Birdcage Bottom Books site:
There were a couple years in high school when almost every piece of art I made was a self-portrait.
I’ve started Vortex #3. Here’s a possible cover:
I’ve been looking at classic Jim Starlin mind trips for inspiration. Like Page 52 from the collection The Life and Death of Captain Marvel:
This page is from #28 of Captain Marvel. I got this scan from this blog post.
Here’s that Starlin page with Frank Santoro’s golden section diagram:
Look at how all of the lines converge in those two light blue/white panels in the center. And that center diamond perfectly frames the skull! Frank’s made me a believer!
