Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

I didn’t get that much more done today, but I’m at least starting to get some of the background filled in. I was hoping to get this finished by today (after hoping to get it finished yesterday, and Tuesday, and Monday…) but I might have time to come back to it tonight.

Working on the cover of issue #2

Monday, March 30th, 2009

All of the pages of Weird Thrills #2 are finished, so I’m now working on the cover. It’s basically a blown-up version of one of the panels in the book, which the publisher and I agreed was a pretty good representation of the issue. So I worked from that initial panel, added some other elements […]

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

Sara and I ate at the Gordon Biersch brewery restaurant in Kansas City Saturday. It was kind of a letdown, because they didn’t have the Blonde Bock on tap. Gordon Biersch was the first beer I loved.
