Sparkplug Books is running a Kickstarter campaign to publish my graphic novel <\/em>Vortex and Elijah Brubaker\u2019s <\/em>Reich #12<\/a>. I\u2019m doing a series of blog posts called The Hiizzztory of the Miizzzard<\/a> that show how the protagonist of <\/em>Vortex has evolved over the years.<\/em><\/p>\n

In 2009 and 2010 I switched from longer comics like Hyperbox<\/em> to one-page comics because I was submitting to newsprint anthologies like Smoke Signal<\/em> and Secret Prison<\/em>. In 2009 I also got a Wacom tablet and MangaStudio and made the switch from ink drawing to pixel drawing. It’s saved me so much time that I spent scanning and fixing things in Photoshop! The main danger of digital drawing is the allure of endless undos.<\/p>\n

Here are some one-page Miizzzard comics that were part of a larger series of loosely connected one- and two-page comics called ATTACKS<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\"The
First appearance of the Floating Crystal Witch and the current look of the Miizzzard. Originally published online by Reynard Seifert at hahaclever.com<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"The
The sequel to the previous comic. Originally published online by Jason Leivian at Arthur Mag<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"The
The end of this first trilogy of comics about the Miizzzard and the Floating Crystal Witch. I drew this in black and white in 2010 to submit to Taffy Hips<\/em>, but it was the wrong size. Josh Burggraf<\/a> colored it for me as a Christmas surprise in 2012.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
