Little bit more...again.

New Leyendecker book is a steal for 31 bucks on Amazon.

Art in stop motion....

What I wouldn't give for a block of two straight hours. This wasn't working well in the beginning, but is shaping up now. As soon as I looked at some Leyendecker art it took off, but the my kid woke up. Start, stop, start, stop....ugh. Oh well, I wouldn't trade being a parent for the world.

Quick color, some panel changes...

Page 2 begun

Almost zero time tonight. I was really excited to work on it too. I got maybe a broken up hour. Changed a lot of the panels too. Not to sure if it's working yet. Anyway, here's hoping for more time soon.

Still needs some work, but here it is. Finally had a few moments to work on this. Just got back from a great trip to Colorado. Good God that's a beautiful state.

Just 2 more pages to go, expect this done maybe next year....sigh.

Life begins at 33...

For the first time in my life I'm taking art a bit more seriously. It's always been for fun, and I've skated by without putting to much into it. Recently I started working with a guy named Peter Clarke, he's truly amazing. That blended with influences from around the office, and the excitement of learning from Jaime Jones has caused me to look at what I do, and how I do it. Sadly upon reflection, I have no answers. Hopefully this is signaling (at age 33) a new day for me, and a new direction for how I work. All that being said.....here's a quick sketch.

Color

Messing around, nothing serious, but there are some things I like in this. I was planning on starting the next page, but Photoshop was freaking on me. In an odd twist I opened Painter which ran like butter...if butter was a smooth running art program. I used Leyendecker (sp?) as my inspiration. It's odd using him for a zombie comic.I failed at what I was hoping would happen, but maybe I'll follow this road that has started.

In other news, art will be slow at home, watching The Wire season 5 from Netflix right now. Oh, McNutty.
