More inking tonight. This is going to be a fun project....

IPad, Will it save comics?

...Don't know, but it looks pretty good to me. And starting at $499 i might even be able to afford it, dang, didn't see that coming.

The IPad seems like a decent entry in the Tablet category, and yeah, i bet my Dream Life art would look good on it, It's even the exact same dimensions! :)

I'm working on a new Zuda project too, if we're lucky and land the deal, this could be a big boost for it.

I've posted more about it here on Sequential, along with some clips. It's pretty exciting to think about what this might do for print and web based media, i for one am optimistic.

More inking.

Ok, i just like making film clips. I'd like to make a film sometime. For now, making comics. A friend said they wanted to see what was going on better in response to the other inking clip, so this time i did just double speed. Not quite as exciting to watch but informational. Even for me, editing this noticed a lot of little things i should be paying attention to. Should analyze my technique like this more often.

...and penciling.

Another day at the desk. Someone wanted to see the work being done more clearly than you can in the last proses video i made, so this is only sped up a little bit.

Inking, fast as i can....

Few days ago i saw a post by Cameron, then a gallery of art by some other friends of mine for a course they are teaching in Toronto. All inking stuff.

If you follow this blog you know i just wrapped up a wfh gig, and i'm trying to get in as much work as i can before a week long vacation in Toronto in February. Seeing that other work helped me get kick started inking some Dream Life stuff. Had a good day yesterday getting this done, and i penciled AND inked this tonight in one sitting! In all this page took about 4 hours. Helped it was a simple one mind you but still, like it when once goes that easy.

Keepin' the pot a boilin'

Put this up on Flickr a few days ago, it's open to the changes different venues and opportunities will provide but I'm kind of hopping i can do it just B&W like this. I really love working in this style, and i think this one would suite it well. Can't say too much yet but this is something I'm collaborating with Mark Sable, my co-hort on Upside Down for Comic Book Tattoo.

More to come soon. Juggling doing some pages for a pitch [as seen here] and inking two Dream Life pages, shooting for 5 in all by the end of the week. So far looking good.

TCAF 2010 has started the big wind up, thanks for the heads up Dave. Exciting, and scarry, got a lot i want to get together for that this year!

Research material for future memories

Last night i found a facebook group that had been started up by former Rochdale members. Hi Larry and Walter! Going to be great for helping collect first hand accounts of the place and time.

Led me to do some digging and there's a few interesting new bits of material online now about this major component of the Story of my parents meeting and life. Been working with the idea of writing and drawing some kind of story about my father and this will be a big part of it. First off are a few entries in the very cool verbal history project murmur - And some really interesting raw bits of video have been posted on you tube by Charasee Press, 4 in all so far.

Fist post of 2010

Starting a few other new projects this year, web comics fully, & i have some Dream Life pages long awaiting inking. Hoping 2010 is better than the last one, dang '09 sucked.

I wrapped up the Ghostbusters book for IDW, bumpy ride but came out well. It's inspired me to do some work cleaning up my cleaner B&W work, look for that in the web comics i mentioned. Here's the press blurb and Diamond code for Tainted Love, there are two covers but that's not a gag, i asked to do one after they already had commissioned one from Nick. Click here for all my Ghostbusters related posts.

Ghostbusters Holiday Special: Tainted Love
Story: Dara Naraghi - Art: Salgood Sam

Love is in the air-literally!-as Winston befriends an attractive woman with a ghostly problem in her apartment. But trapping the love-struck apparition proves to be more complicated than the Ghostbusters originally thought. Can Winston step up and save the day? Just how far will Peter go to find a date? And do Ray and Egon ever stop to think about girls, or is it always about trans-dimensional ectoplasmic anomolies with those two?

FC - one-shot - 32 pages - $3.99 - Diamond Code: DEC09 0906

Here's page one, the silly gangsters are not really a big part of the story, but Dara thought it would make a fun taster for you all. There's a little more art here.
