Slam Bang: The Hungry Housewives

The series is finally finished! It will be in the Slam Bang Comic Anthology Femme Fatales issue in 2012. (I will have a link up soon.)

It is the Hunger Games meets The Real Housewives in a series I would so watch on television. The Real Housewives show has an almost Othello quality where everyone is the character of honest Iago.

Also, kudos if you get the sci-fi movie reference on page 3...

The jokes just write themselves... Yes, my dream is to be a writer for the Simpsons or work for Mad Magazine...

My self-portrait for this issue keeping the theme in mind!. There is also an interview!

Slam Bang: The Hungry Housewives

The next theme for Slam Bang is Femme Fatales. My contribution will be The Hungry Housewives, with all the glitz and gore that suggests. Stay tuned as my 4 pager develops...

This time, the anthology will be in color... I have mixed feelings about that since the comic I have sketched is loaded with the cartoon violence one would expect. At least a toon is always less visceral looking even when horribly violent. Ask Goya...

Unexpected Searches

Humorously, I just noticed this 3-pager I did for Slam Bang's fast food issue comes up on diet search key words...

Slam Bang: The Robot issue is now available!

Iron Giant Chef Mini Comic-Finished!

This 3 pager is for my friend Allen Freeman's comic anthology Slam Bang. The robot topic was irresistable! The last topic was fast food and I combined both topics both times. The title Ultimate Extreme Mega Meal Bot explains itself.

Although my schedule is increasingly less open, I still try to do occasional mini-comics for fun.

Happy 2011! Iron Giant Chef: Teaser

When I am working on big painting projects, it is fun to blow off a little steam with quick doodles. This is a teaser for the 3 pager I am working on for the Slam Bang robot issue. Spambot 2000 vs. Roncobot 9000

Comic Side Projects: 12-Way with Cheese

In honor of 12-Way with Cheese being released, I thought I would show how differently things started.

As I said, I have worked on this story concept for YEARS and could not get it to gel.

Below here is the first attempt...

 After I kept sketching and working on the story, I realized the art was totally in the wrong direction. As a result, I worked on new more cartoony concepts as seen to the left here. I even had a whole manuscript with a different story I tossed.

This is the final result:

You can see the rest here.

So, stay tuned now that the book is out for upcoming signings and events. There was even just an article about the book in CityBeat. Check it out!

I should also mention we just had a blurb in Imagine FX as well!

Speaking of anthologies, I am also in Allen Freeman's latest Slam Bang comic anthology lampooning fast food. See my contribution here!

The Ultimate Extreme Mega Meal-Bot

This is for my friend Allen Freeman's comic anthology Slam Bang, the special fast food volume. It is a 3 page mini comic about the ultimate combo meal... More soon!
