It's been an interesting summer, cutting documentaries and GMing a game of Traveller for the first time in 20 years. Good times!
But one part of my gallery hasn't gotten much attention, and it's time to correct that. In the early 90s I tried REALLY hard to break into comics... but it never really came together. The biggest problems were that a) I was slow, and b) I had a really hard time drawing the same face over and over and having it look like the same person. So I moved on to other forms of visual story-telling, first in video games and then in film.
But I've dusted off some of my many comic pages, and will start posting them shortly. None of these stories were ever finished, and most of them were done before I really hit my stride, with nice shading and more natural figure work. Oh, and my lettering was absolutely APPALLING, which didn't help either. Still, there's some cool little gems buried in them, so I thought I'd share. None of these were ever published, so they appear here for the first time!
Something New!
For the first time in over a decade, I've done some illustrations for an RPG book!
My friend Johnstone Metzger writes and publishes RPG books, many of which can be found here. I got to do four character illustrations for his upcoming Dungeon World adventure "Battle Between the Worlds". It was fun to return to where I got my start, but with the better drawing tools I have today!
Where have I been?
I thought folks might like to know where I've been, and I why I haven't posted anything for a few weeks. Well, I've been locked in the editing room, working on the Dead Rising movie (yes, it's the film adaptation of the video game franchise)! It's directed by my friend Zach Lipovsky, and has an amazing cast, including Virginia Madsen and Rob Riggle (ex of the Daily Show). It's a ton of fun, but is sucking up aaaaaaall of my time, probably until around Christmas.
After that, I should have time to start drawing again, and get back to my webcomic Apartmageddon! 'Til then, I hope you all won't forget about me...!
Apartmageddon is now online!
After too many months, I've finally launched my new webcomic, Apartmageddon! The first half of Chapter 1 is now posted at www.apartmageddon.com!
Apartmageddon coming soon
The first 15 pages of my new webcomic are done, with more in progress. It's something that I have to fit in around paid work, so my release schedule will be somewhat unpredictable, but I hope to start posting it soon at www.apartmageddon.com. I'll keep folks posted!
