40 Days in Time and Space - Page 9

The latest page is done.

The entire thing, so far, can be seen over here.

Really pushing to get the next page done soon. I hope it stays simpler then these last 3 pages have gotten.

40 Days in Time and Space - Page 8

Regular work is back on track, so here's page 8. The next couple pages should be around shortly, definitely before the end of the month.

Also, a couple sketches from while I was on vacation.

40 Days in Time and Space - Page 07

Not dead... yet.

I know it's been a while since the last page was completed, but things are back on track. I hope you enjoy this new page in the series.

All the previous pages can be found here.

Illustration Station 009 - More Action Man, More Books

I did this drawing recently as a going away present for a co-worker. The long due next page of 40 days in time and space should come along shortly, as well.

Here's the second page from 40 Days in Time and Space. The entire archive of the book can be found here.

Working on a New Book Project

I've started work on a small new book project. Here's the first page.

Inspired by Moebius's 40 Days in the Desert. The book will contain no words other then those you see on the first page and contain only one panel per page. That's the current plan. I've been know to make deviations from my original plans.

Also, some sketches from the last week.

Illustration Station 005 - Floating in Space

Made this little drawing as a going away gift for a co-worker. Thought I'd through it up here as part of my attempt to revive this online appendage of mine.

Tales from the Sketchbook 021 - filled another sketchbook

I finally finished off this sketchbook. Not with what I would call my best sketches, but either way, it feels good to move onto another book.

And then the last page:

And here's a picture of that sketchbook, held together with venting tape.

Tales from the Sketchbook 020 - one month

Some new sketches to round out the first month of posting these little drawings of mine.

And this one here is where I had to start on a new pen. Also, I like this idea of a refrigerator graveyard. I really want to put that into something else in the future.

Tales from the Sketchbook 009 - Day 10

More robots? Yes, more robots.

Tales from the Sketchbook 008 - Days 8 and 9

Day 8

Time got away from me yesterday, and I forgot to post a sketch. It's not a very good one, though. I was just playing around with a costume idea.

Day 9

Working on some robot design ideas for the current comic page I'm working on. I like the idea of single task robots or even a group of robots who come together to only do one task. It's horribly in-efficient and goes against all good design, but it also makes for a fun and lively scene.

Tales from the Sketchbook 005 - Day 5

Playing with the idea of the city of robots for the next few pages of the Action Man Adventures. Thinking about how to keep scaling up the size of the robots as the view of the city widens out. I doubt I'll have much more figured out until I get to the page itself. Still gotta finish the page I'm on, first.

Tales from the Sketchbook 004 - Day 4

Not much today. Just sketching some ideas for the next page of the Action Man Adventures. Also, had an idea for a robot that should show up later. I don't think the bow-tie will make it to the final page, but here's hoping.

Illustration Station 002 - Action Man Page 5

There have been a good deal of delays, but I finally have the fifth page of the Action-Man Adventures done. For anybody who doesn't know, The Action-Man Adventures is a comic strip I'm doing in the traditions of early 20th century comics like Little Nemo in Slumberland and Krazy Kat.

Each page is something of a new adventure in composition and how that effects the storytelling. Page 5 is heavily influenced by George Herriman's Krazy Kay. Herriman didn't draw boxes around all of the panels in his comic strips. To me, it gives Krazy Kat a chaotic energy. You know where the boxes would be, but with that line being implied, your eyes just move between panels in a different way then if there were gutters. (gutters are the spaces between comic pannels.)

I can't really post the entire page, but I've got a little preview panel.

And work on page six has already begun.
