comic wish list

There are a few comics that are on my wish list. The problem - since comics cost as much as the shipping itself, I must wait and buy in bulk. Unfortunately I have reached my comic buying quota this month so these guys must sit and wait for me in some far away cold cell that is an online shopping cart.

Here is what my finished image is looking like. I like to think that if my car and I had a baby, this is what it would look like. I also came up with an icon type thing.. an avatar if you will. stupid simple!

self-concept

So here is what I am working on right now, lookin pretty cool so far I think. To get the picture of myself, i used the scanners to scan my face. This was very interesting and if you havent played with the scanners in this fashion, I highly recommending scanning your face (not your butt!) You can make some pretty hilarious images using that weird moving camera box thing.

Some new sketches

Ive still been working on getting some final drawings for my book, but when that gets boring I find myself drawing random things and developing new characters and plots. Here is a pager that started from a few quick sketches. I'd have to say, this was one of my better idea days. (again small scanner + big paper = nono)

Here is a treatment for a strip I think im going to submit to the Siskiyou. Feedback would be much appreciated on this one, I think I'll call it 'The Artists Dilemma.'

Heres a couple characters I drew up. I really like the second one, I'm thinking about doing a strip or some sort of thing with the black metal theme. That is from the band Immortal btw.

Here is just some practice drawings I guess. I like using this ballpoint pen to fill in black because you can get some really cool patterns going. Most definitely going to use this technique for something or another.

I've been in a real rut lately as far as story ideas go, I guess it just happens over time. The good news is that I've been getting new inspiration lately from the weather, dreams, and a bunch of other stuff. So yeah, hopefully will get some new finished things up soon, keep your fingers crossed!
