Fight

Sick

I spent a couple of weeks sick last month.  Oh, the joy.

This is the first of many comics to come.  I will be posting a new one everyday Monday through Friday, and giving myself the weekend to work on coloring future posts.

Absent

So I know I've been saying I was going to write in this more often, but sometimes I get lazy.  I have all these projects circling around in my head, but I've been having a hard time finding time to get things done.  Some projects have been taking time away from my comics.  On top of that there is the ever present question of direction, that makes me want to give up sometimes.

Oh, excuses excuses.

I can say I'm going to get back on the horse and follow through with everything, but I'm not going to make any promises.  I will do what I can when I can.

I can say this.  I have completed several short comics that I will posting here soon.  I want to reach a certain number completed before I start posting them.  I'm trying to avoid that sense of accomplishment I get from posting in order to keep me going, rather than feeling satisfied in what I've done.  That way I won't think that I deserve a break.

Away for a while

So I now I haven't posted anything in sometime, but it's been with good reason.  I have been focusing on painting recently.  I am going to apply for a masters program and need to build up my work.  I plan on continuing what I started with my watercolor works as well soon, but for right now I'm focusing on oil paintings.

I will be up loading a watercolor of an original character that I'm almost done with here soon, as well as sketches for my paintings.  Hopefully some stills of completed works when I get them done also.

I'm still doing some comics and have done a couple of three panel newspaper style strips of Sam and Ted... the character that adorns the banner at the top.  I plan on sending those out to different online publications.

Candy or Medicine publications!

I sent off two comics to Josh at Candy or Medicine (http://www.candyormedicine.com/) for consideration.  He will be publishing them later this year.  My thanks to him for sure.

Please support him and the publication by picking up a copy (not just the ones with my stuff).  I think it's awesome that there's someone out there doing mini comic anthologies.  I have had the opportunity of reading through several back issues and they are definitely worthwhile collections.

I'm currently working on some other short comics as well as starting to flesh out some longer works.  Hopefully I will be posting some pages or sketches here soon.

Hulk Portrait

I did a quick hulk portrait as a color test for a bigger piece.

I've also been working on portraits of original characters for a comic idea I had a long time ago.  I figured I would put together some samples and a story synopsis to submit for possible publication.  I'm also working on some short comics for literary journal submissions.  I will probably post samples of those in the near future.

I also would like to mention how difficult it is to type with an energetic 1 year sitting on your lap.

Cheers.
