Polis Cover

I don't ink much but I was compelled to ink this Polis Cover. I hope it turned out ok. I am happy with it. This is just a preliminary scan. The ink is barely dry on this sumbitch and I didn't want to smudge it by going at it with an eraser. I'll post a "ready to print" version later.

Actaully finishing a project with everything going on these past few weeks feels good.

I don't really have much to say on this 14 degree snow packed morning. I am happy that I am no longer sick, or without electricity. I can finally move forward with projects that should have been finished a month ago.

This makes me happy.

If you don't get all tingly from this, I don't like you.

Holy Fuck do I love Electricity!

For the last 2 days I have been without heat, hot water, electricity, a home, my cell, my drafting table, my art supplies, and my car. I would personally like to thank Mistress Nature for the icy beating my life has taken over the last few days. There was a record breaking ice storm that brought down trees, power lines, and telephone poles into my driveway and home.

Upon hearing the first crack of the tree to start this fiasco @2am on Thursday night I knew we were in for some shit. The telephone pole into my front room, and the sparks from the transformer in the front yard really amped up the whole experience.

I am so HAPPY to be home and have back all of the amenities of home. I love heat, hot water, television, the internet, my marvel over sized coffee cups, and everything in my office.

I am going to do nothing but drink a coffee, watch some internet videos, and be warm for the next hour or so. After that I have to get back to the drafting table. Two days without working has fucked my schedule, but I am happy to have the ability back to do it.

Hopefully when I sleep tonight I wont be plagued by dreams of the Zombie Apocalypse.

Feeling Better....but not 100%

I am actually feeling somewhat normal today. I haven't been able to do shit for almost 2 weeks but from what I am told the worst of it is behind me.

I am fucked on a few deadlines though. The double page spread above has been on the drafting table mocking me 90% done for a week and a half. I had enough energy to finally finish it tonight(this morning).

That is it for me have today's work laid, so I wont start with a blank page, and now time for sleep.

Hopefully 2 pages and a commission for tomorrow. Goddamn I hate being sick.

Still fucking Sick!

Go listen to this weeks podcast. I am not in it as much as usual because I am still sick as hell, and it feels like I am being impaled through the chest. It gets worse when my blood pressure rises, which, if you have ever listened to the show, is often.

Above is the beginning of a midget torture porn scene that was a blast to draw.

Pericarditis

This shit has been kicking my ass for 5 days now. I feel like shit and someone is stabbing me in the fucking chest. It is a viral infection in the lining of my heart and it hurts like a son of a bitch. I am still trying my damndest to get pages done, but it is slow going right now. Being sick sucks.

Go support the Inkwell Awards!

The Inkwell awards are an independent committed of industry professionals that have taken on the responsibility of recognizing excellence in the art form of inking. Once the Eisner's "dropped" their inking categories this group of individuals didn't take that shit lying down. They went out and created a fan voted award to recognize this oft overlooked and very unappreciated art form.

All of what they do come straight out of their pockets, but some of us in the biz recognize the importance of what they are doing and donate art to help supplement the cost. I believe in what the do and am a very vocal proponent of inking. So, when asked, I gave what I had on me at the time, and will do anything more to help support these guys.

So go help out and bid on some of the items that are up on eBay!

Go now!

Some of the big companies are trying to limit inking because it lowers production cost, but I think inked artwork is so superior to straight pencils that we have to give some encouragement to the guys who are true superstars in this industry, they just never get noticed. Unless they are not there.

Go check out the website and do something to help the cause!
