One Night Stand

One Night Stand

Testing out the WordPress iPhone app with the new blog setup. If all goes as planned below you should see my penciled contribution to David Hopkins‘ Indy Comic Book Week project One Night Stand.

Written by David Hopkins, ONE NIGHT STAND is a series of one-page vignettes, a collaboration with 32 artists – centered around a theme of casual sex and brief intimate encounters.

Be sure and pick it up come Indy Comic Book Week.

So, after much frustration at the hands of a crafty domain squatter the blog is finally back up and runningl. WordPress is good to go and the database has been recovered. Big thanks to my good friend Amelia for all the technical help. Also, my apologies for the repeat posts. We’re back to normal now and you should see nothing but new material from here on out.

Despite the downtime I’ve been busy on several fronts and have a few noteworthy updates. First up is…

Indy Comic Book Week

Long story short is, the one and only distributor of comic books, Diamond, is taking a week off in December, and after some inspiration from Kyle Latino, Space-Gun Studios decided to take some initiative and start Indy Comic Book Week.

Paul Milligan did the logo and I put together the website and we started spreading the word through social media, and it’s actually taken off quite well. At the moment we have upwards of 20 DFW area stores participating (including Zeus, Titan, Madness and Lone Star), and will have a chance to get our own books on “new comic” shelves come December 30th.

Which brings us to…

Senryu

I’ll also be participating in Indy Comic Book Week with my first book, Senryu. Below are a few preview pages, you can see a write-up on the ICBW blog.

Synesthetic Cover

Our comic studio Space-Gun has been working on an anthology and I finally got the chance to color my good friend Evan?s work on the cover.

I really dig it and think it came out awesome. Coloring someone else?s work, especially good work, can be really freeing and help broaden your style. I may do more of a cell-shaded style after rocking this out in just a couple hours.
