TURBOKILL

Okay first hey everyone, i had a great time at the first ever Erie Library Comic Con in the old erie, pennsylvania, i gotta say thanks to Sean McGrath for putting together an awesome show and the library folks up there for hosting the whole thing. And of course thanks to all the people that came, local erie folks and foreigners too!

Anyways, I'm currently putting together my best comic ever, it's called Turbokill, some people got generic flying discs with the logo, and some people did not. So that's what the above is about. I'm holding off detailing too much right now, cause it'll be best when you're all just overwhelmed by the whole thing. It's going to be violent and weird and surreal.

Also it's going to be a videogame. That's all I can say for now, but here's a pretty rough gif of one of the characters dancing and grabbing their gun. well, really rough puts it mildly. anyways, keep an eye here as I am able to tell y'all what the deal is on everything. Platforms, musicians involved, all that good stuff.



Oh an also if you follow my tweeter you probs saw that i'm doing a comic with the surrealist writer Paul Jessup, and it's gonna be called The Truth and is sort of like a comic and sorta like a tv sitcom, it's gonna be pretty nuts, but safe for those with nut allergies.

Paul's a great guy and has numerous books about exploding stars and their lovers, girls trapped in glass coffins and giants and all sorts of things, go look at his web stuff http://pauljessup.com/

the horrible goatsnake

So this is Lovecraftian creature someone suggested, the horrible goatsnake in ink and wash.

Where do you take a sheet?

It helps me get in the mood to draw funny pictures! http://www.takeasheet.com/

Soft Yellow, the self aware crackpipe

the fuck you want me to say about this?

late night sketch

Watched a documentary about Indians called More Than Bows And Arrows and started doodling came out with this piece. Really like use this ebony pencil, I sharpen in with an arrowhead one of my uncles found in his field. Kept thinking about begining of scalped 50 with the history of scalping in it, so I guess that was stuck in my brain.

Turtles & Coffinmouth

If you haven't seen it already, go check out Coffinmouth I did the cover and the Important Sheet comic in it. Paul Jessup is awesome.

So i doodled this today while chatting with the Chippy & Loopus guy while he drawed his comic on livestream, i spent too much time saturday night on youtube arguing with trolls about the wall street protests, and still felt angry today. i guess angry is the right thing to be in a time like this, who can be happy watching news and then seeing what it really happening?

The strip here is just Jet Black Extra Smooth Ebony pencil i have, except for the inked box at the top left. I dunno what i'm doing with it, something more? I can't say, I got a lot to do in the next couple weeks, and i really need to start a weekly comic, something to fall back on, something to hold onto rather than just jumping from thing to thing.

basic inks

First pass at inks on this, once both pages are all the way done they will be up. And my scanner keeps putting these weird shadowy fingers through things, not quite sure what that means, not liking my scanner tho.

roughly pencils

So I gotta work on sequential storytelling, these are my sheety pencils, hard to see, and no blacks. Gotta clean the garage floor cause the dog peed out there, then sling some ink on these. Maybe even name the thing and color it.

The Cursed Black Walnut

The chikump came over while i sat outside smoking, ran away, came back, repeated this several times then came over with a black walnut, and tenderly came near me, dropped the walnut and ran away, climbing up on the railing, then back down over to pick up the walnut, i looked down at him, he looked at me, he dropped the walnut again, but this time left it spinning. Some days later I found his head while cleaning the backyard, i assumed a victim of yellow cat. the walnut sits in a drawer and gives me bad dreams.

10 O'clock Art

Well this is what i'm doing right at 10 am here, a self-portrait, got a bunch of things i'm trying to do, gotta put together a portfolio to take up to New York Comic Con, a few contests I want to submit too, redo my blog setup a bit, too many things, trying to take them one at a time, but my mind doesn't work so good like that, i tend to scatter brain around all sort of things, always have i guess.

Black Orchid Watercolored

Put this one aside for awhile, just couldn't finish it. Finally did today, i'm pretty happy how she turned out, and where is Black Orchid in the New DC52? Will she eventually show up in My Greatest Adventure or something? ink, watercolors and a white out pen made this thing on 9x12 watercolor paper.

warm up in the swamp

okay, thats twentyone minutes of brush work, for my #10oCLOCKart friends and also swamp thing fans of course. picture isn't really done done, but a nice point so far, from just my head trying to pull parts out real quick without thinking a bunch.

teen surrealist

Did this last night as a vague warm-up kinda sketch from memory of someone i know (someone who used to be a teenager!) from Here I moved onto a little submission thing for a kinda big place that I won't tell about till it's out (or until it's not out then you get it) so there. this was all brush, I find unless I have a clear picture in my head of what I'm doing the brush is the easiest thing to use to pull ideas out. My favorite brush right now has been half chewed up by my dog and is missing half it's bristles, but it does exactly what I want. Thank twiggy! (my dog)

warm up wonder woman

late at night (late, it's 11 i must be getting old!) i make this with my brush and ink and water

Yo Gabba Gabba's Toodee!

Hopefully all of you reading this watch Yo Gabba Gabba! So y'all will know this is Toodee! She is my daughter Pipers favorite on the show, and her funny hat is based on a REAL hat here in my house! (whoa) I have drawn plenty of requests from Piper to draw the different characters, as well as other cartoon and comics and animals she likes (Bat-Mite is another of her favorites) so when I saw a request for art from the Yo Gabba Gabba crew on twitter I knew I had to do something for them too. So here it is, in ink, and watercolors and a little silver sharpie marker too! Hope y'all like it!

Okie Dokie Donuts!

I got my copies of Okie Dokie Donuts yesterday, and am super dooper thrilled with it! Fun story and art and too many donuts to try and count! (How many donuts are there in the book?) And most importantly to me, my daughter Piper loves it. This is her just after we finished reading it and enjoying a tiny donut I made for her.

Go check your local comic shop or go to the Top Shelf website to get a copy! The creator, Chris Eliopoulos really knows how to tell a funny story suitable for all ages and his manic energy and love of comics comes through on every page. Piper thought the Strawberry Socks flavored donuts were hilarious. Almost as much fun as real donuts!
