MeSseD Time Lapse

I recently did a pin up for Jay Kalagayan's comic MeSseD. He said to keep it in the spirit of my Stream of Consciousness pieces.

Lecture at the Art Academy: Storytelling in Books and Comics

I will be doing a lunchtime lecture at the Art Academy tomorrow at 11:30 am as part of the Slam Bam Comic Jam.

It is called Storytelling in Books and Comics.

Here is the Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/1638524756380216

Hope to see you there!

From Why the Possum has a Large Grin by Johnette Downing

The Ultimate Sinister

This is a character I have drawn for years. I am now working on a mini-comic of it. I first drew him in grade school, he looked very different though. Now it has a bit of Jeeves and Wooster, Downton Abbey, cats and mice...

Fountain Square and the Columbus Comic Covention Formerly Known as Mid-Ohiocon

Wednesday we tried out a new place for the downtown Illustrators Lunch, Rock Bottom Brewery. We seem to be cursed in our choice of lunch location so I hope this one will be around a while. 

After lunch, I did a little sketch of the fountain. I have always loved it and it was the brief time of that day with lovely weather.

This weekend, I dipped my toes back in the con pool. Since I am doing my web comic, Pop Smoothie, I hope to make it to more of these. SPACE in April and maybe CAKE in Chicago next year.

It was a wonderful time despite my lack of stuff for sale.

Anyway, here are some sketches I did during the event. I wish I had gotten some of the more elaborate costumes, but they were Saturday for the contest.

New Web Comic Comic Coming the End of March

Pop Smoothie, Strange Tales from the Blender will debut the end of next month. It will be the zany stuff I like to do for Slam Bang's anthologies.

The first stories will be Dance Mom Wars and The Fairy Godfather. Stay tuned! Also, I will have a URL soon...

Concept Sketch: The Six Swans

I am toying with doing a comic version of The Six Swans. I thumbnailed it the other day and it came to 21 pages! I am pretty booked so I will probably not be working on it for a while but here is a start of the first page. 20 to go! I may shorten it.

The adaptation is extremely loose.

I am setting it in a Rococo time period. I saw Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland last night and really enjoyed the costume design-especially in the courts.
