Samurai Rabbit

Here's a piece I've just finished for the Baltimore Comic Con fundraiser auction.

Monkey Butler

You know when your monkey butler tries your fez on while he thinks you're out? I hate that.

Pencil Fez

Here's the back cover of the mini-comic in pencil. (I might just leave it as pencil, actually; looks okay to me...)

Little Nemo: Dream Another Dream

This has been formally announced now, and it looks like they're using my page as the illustration accompanying the news item, so I guess it's okay to post it here: I'm one of the contributors to Little Nemo: Dream Another Dream, a new anthology where various contemporary cartoonists offer their own interpretations of Winsor McCay's great, great comic strip, Little Nemo in Slumberland. There's more bumf about it here.


Also: I've seen posts about the Popeye Volume 3 and Rocketeer: Hollywood Horror paperback collections here and there, so I suspect they might be out this week; I'm not exactly sure. But ask your local comic store about them anyway. That never hurts.

Hieronymus J. Batt

This is a character in the new Fez minicomic. He only has a small part. (Which is probably why he looks like that.)

Hairbuttery

Here's a sketch of fellow down-underer Jason Paulos' great character, Hairbutt the Hippo. Jason's done work for DC Comics and MAD, but it's his self-published stuff that's closest to my heart. His blog is here, and well worth a look.


If you ever read Fred the Clown when it was a comic-book-format comic (as opposed to the collection), you might have seen this image drawn by Jason on the back of #3: 


And here's one he did for the hell of it which I don't think was ever published.


Fine cartoonist, that man!

A Random Gentleman

Bought a new kind of pen for sketching today. This is a test drawing.

He Likes a Lurk

Here's a possible cover for The Fez #2 minicomic. If it's not the final cover it'll probably wind up inside somewhere.

Fezzery Continues

So! In the time between the London Film and Comic Con and now, while you've been enduring my sketch frenzy, I've finished that animation job, knocked out a commission I'd promised, and am footling away at a new Fez storey or three while I wait for the go-ahead on my next comic book gig. The first of these will appear in the mighty Aces Weekly; the rest will go into a second Fez mini-comic, which I hope to have ready for the Baltimore Comic Con and SPX in September. Here's a teaser panel from the mini.


Quite to my surprise, The Fez is turning out to be a cross between several of my older projects – chiefly Doctor Spin and Fred the Clown, with bits of Art d'Ecco in there as well.  It's funny how you only find out what a thing is once you've lived with it for a while.

LFCC Sketch Roundup Part 9

And that's the last of them!





Thanks to everybody who stopped by for a sketch, or to buy a book, or just to chat. And special thanks to anyone whose sketch request was a bit out of the ordinary. I enjoy those the most.

LFCC Sketch Roundup Part 8

More from the London Film and Comic Con. (That first Fozzie one, by the way, was done for someone who never came back to collect it – if that was you, get in touch.)
