Killer Ink Comics

Hey y’all,

I wanted to put up this post regarding the newest mini-comic that I will have coming out this month, hopefully in time for SPX. It is another long format comic, 8.25 x 2.5, much in the vain of Aliens: First Encounters and Ice Cream however I am once again trying to push the format.

In Ice Cream it was a simple one panel per page format much like a flip book and with Aliens I pushed it so that the panels were more panoramic allowing for a great scope as well as more gags to be scattered about. With Ninja Girl there are no panel boarders, Ninja Girl simply runs through the landscape of the page, encountering various obstacles and zombies and over coming them as she encounters them.

The focus for me in this comic was to really focus on character action and movement in this long format form and that a fun and engaging story could be told as well. Granted the story isn’t anything to complex but a simple story is all that is needed right now.

Here is the first page of Ninja Girl so that you can get a bit of a sense of what the format is like.

My hope is that you are interested and looking forward to picking up a copy.

Enjoy.

Hey y’all,

So I will be selling my sweet sweet comics at Mocca. It is April 10th and 11th. It is located in New York City. For more and clearer info check out the link.

I will be at table G5 with some other excellent Center For Cartoon Studies peoples:

Katherine Roy

Tim Stout

Matt Acoin

Holy Foltz

and last but not least Laura “You’re-fuckin’-awesome” Terry

Last year I tabled at the Center For Cartoon Studies table which was a really great experience for my first real convention. I met some really great people there both cartoonists and people just looking to buy comics. But I have to say that I am really excited about tabling with this great group folks this year because I am going to get to interact more with the people who are at the convention this year since I will be representing myself and not CCS as a whole.

I will also have the newest issue of Abortion Andy premiering at Mocca. It will be 60 pages, black and white with some grey scale. (and for those of you following along on line will be glad to hear that the spelling and punctuation mistakes have been fixed – the last round of them being done by Bill Volk who will be at Mocca also)

Hope to see you there because the whole place will be over run with excellent comics and comic work.

So I was in class the other day and sitting next to me was the ever talented Laura Terry sketching away in her notebook. Among the things that she was drawing were some pretty wicket looking skulls; she is not usually morbid but we were listening to a lecture buy Charles Burns which I think had some influence.

Anyway later on at home I was drawing in my sketch book and was reminded of Laura’s skulls and thought I would draw one myself. The image on the left is what came out which is not to say that I am a failure at drawing skulls but merely and illustration of how my mind works. (yes pun intended)

I start off trying to accomplish one thing and end up with another. A skull becomes this weird combination of a winter hat and jellyfish. A strange realization that failure in one thing can be something awesome in another light.

All of this is to say look at my drawing. Isn’t is awesome, now shower me with praise.

Enjoy.

Hey y’all,

It’s not every day that a kick ass Anthology is unleashed unto the world. Today is that day and that Anthology is called San Papel, with sweet sample page adjacent.

San Papel is an anthology based around a fiction western town in New Mexico. It is filled with the work by a number of The Center For Cartoon Studies Students and Faculty. This includes, but is not limited to, work by John Chad, Nick Patton, Noami Kane, Steve Bissette, Ben Jures and of course myself. (to name a few of the truly talented in this collection)

So if you like anthologies or westerns or comics then look out for this anthology. There are only about 237 so grab them while you can.

Hey y’all,

So as you may have noticed I have changed the site background. I feel it’s definately better than the blue that I had up for a while and incorporates my logo on to the site which I had been looking to do but I honestly don’t feel that it’s right. I am still working on the site design and while I am getting closer I still don’t feel like I have grasped the image that I want to put forth.

Maybe this is because I am still unsure of what that image is. It’s not something that I have ever really considered before aside from the clothes that I wear and that mostly consists of jeans, mildly amusing t-shirt and a sweat shirt. (this is winter wear of course) Then there is the fact that my comics are a little bit all over the place – sorta. I have Bunny and Platypus, Andy, and little things like Aliens. So there’s no real unifying character/characters or design element to build a theme around.

So these are things I am thinking about because potencial clients will be coming to the site and seeing as my comics are crass, though hopefully not overly so, but that is not something universally accepted. And I can’t just not care about site design because people don’t want to see something bland and unimpressive.

Anyway all this is to say that things will continue to change as I figure things out.

Thanks for reading…assuming you have been.

G.p.
