Yoda?

I have nothing new to show anybody since I'm wrapping up the secret project and can't show any of that so here's the first of some con sketches I've done over the last few years.  If you know me you know I don't draw other people's characters but a few years ago I was doing an Arena Con at the Arena Grand Theater while Star Wars Clone Wars was running and drew a few of these and handed them out to the kids going to the movie.  There's also a Ahsoka that is pretty terrible so you probably won't ever see that. Thanks to Victor Dandridge for organizing the the Arena Cons.  I also did one during one of the Batman movies and have a Batman sketch that is really bad.

Good News / Bad News

As the title says I got good news and bad news.

Good news is I finally got back to working on Bunny Blues / Leaves #6 and completed pages 16 & 17. The bad news is I have a secret project that will keep me tied up all summer and I will never be able to share it here.

Calling It a Victory!

Okay this is the last update about all the projects that needed to get done by SPACE.  What's done is done and what's not is not.  I'm calling it a victory.

11/19/11 – Lump of Coal #5- Art Due 4 page Randolf the Run-down Reindeer strip ( DONE!)

1/15/12- Oh,Comics! #20 “Air” Art Due 4 page B-Valve strip. (DONE!) I had to change directions on the media. I originally intended this to be painted but after starting the first two pages things were not working out the way I expected. Plus with all the layering I needed to do it was never going to get done. I was finished on 2/11/12 almost a month after the deadline I set. Fortunately I still have pleanty of time to get the book together for SPACE. Oh,Comics! #20 looks pretty good. Got a lot of great strips from all the contributor. Above is my finished page 2. For a peek at the cover and a list of contributors go to http://backporchcomics.com/premierecomicsp2.htm  Got these back from the printer last week!!!

1/15/12 A Bowl Full of Happiness (The Sea Monkey anthology for the Hero Intiative) 1 page strip. (DONE!)

2/15/12 Magic Bullet #4- One page strip. This is kind of tentative but I've been thinking of doing something with George, Abe, Tom and Teddy. (Decided not to try and hit this one).

2/25/12- SPACE Anthology 2012 – 2 page Vugz strip. (DONE!) I got the books back from the printer this week and they look great. Check over at http://www.backporchcomics.com/space.htm

3/31/12- Untitled #8 Art Due 1-4 page Entropy Alley strip (This didn't happen this year. My fault I've missed alot of time with the Art Explorer Post this year.)

3/31/12 -Bunny Blues/ Leaves #6 28-30+ page finale (15 pages completed.) I had to call this one.  It looked like another 10 or 11 pages to go and there just wasn't time to finish it.

Alternate project-  Vugz Fragments-Since I didn't get BB/L #6 done I wasn't going to have a new minicomic for SPACE this year so I decided to collect all the Vugz strips I did in Oh,Comics! and the SPACE Anthology the last few years.  The Oh,Comics! strips have never been published in color and the SPACE Anthology strips have never been printed so I collected them all and printed them in color.  The strip for this years SPACE Anthology was colored with markers instead of the paint I intended so  I could hit the schedule.  I had extra time to work on it after SA12 was on the way to the printeres so I have included  a re-mix of that strip in Fragments. I was also able to sort the strips in the correct sequence so the over all story is starting to make a little more sense.  There is still a lot of fill in story which will be produced in one way or another after BB/L #6 is done.  Fragments is in production at the printer and should be back in time for SPACE.

Hope to see everybody at SPACE in a few weeks!
