2009-11-25GHOSTBUSTERS : TAINTED LOVE  It's been a while since i did a WFH deadline driven gig, good to be back at it though i'm a bit rusty with the time management it seems.Word has been getting out so it's safe for me to post about it, doing a comic for the franchise of another one of my childhood favorites, Ghostbusters! Re watched the movies of course, that was fun. Unlike many they hold up well today, really great films. Least i think so. Hope i can do the comic version justice. we're not useing likenesses but i am trying to chanel the feel/type for the orriginal cast. The plot is a punchy fun short story, a valentines, with a hint of horror and cutie for Winston in it! Working with Dara Naraghi for the first time on this, with IDW. It's going a bit slow but the art i think is coming out looking good, eh? A long time collaborator Bernie Mireault is going to be doing colors for the interiours. I also got to go to town doing an alternate cover seen here. spent too long on it but it was worth it. Bellow i'm posting some other rough art and the group shot that got me the gig.

2009-11-19Popgun 4
It was dropped on Bleeding cool, so this is post seepage, but here's the beutiful cover by Ben Templesmith of the next book to have my art in it! Popgun 4!
 For those of you with ink on your fingers, Ben has a cool proses post on the creation of this here on his blog. My story "Honolulu Lorie's" was suposed to be in #3 but along with a whole lot of stuff got bumped back to 4 when they realized they had over sold the seats. Some awkward moments there when i found out and i've been sitting on my hands till now to make sure it was for sure going to be in this one - "cut due to too much goodness" is generally not quite the message editors probably want to send if you like a story. But bygones, all's good now, and i'm excited to see how my baby looks in print and the company it'll be keeping. The Popgun series is damn impressive, very proud to have something in one now. If you liked that proses post by Ben you'll maybe want to look at this Flickr set for Lorie's, documenting the creation of the art for the story. The script was first written in a bar years ago in the mid 90's on a napkin hanging out with some drunken scumbags and dear friends. Funny because i don't drink but they could never tell they say. Sadly i can't get to LA for the launch party at Meltdown, but if you're in the area you can keep up with the news about that probably here on DJ's site. POPGUN is back with another eclectic collection of established fan favorite creators and rising stars coming together for a new edition of the Harvey Award-winning graphic mix tape! From high-octane action to heart-tugging drama to laugh-out-loud comedy, this collection has comics you'll love: over 500 full color pages of them! posted by max at 11/19/2009 02:18:00 PM 0 comments links to this post Stumble It!

Read on to guess why, and look up to see the short Doc I made of Expozine -least got that much done.} but also penciling WFH gig, ack! time time time. My collaborator on Therefore Repent!
