DOGS OF MARS is out tomorrow!
Today, it’s featured on io9. Can’t wait for all those fun user comments! (jkguninmouth)
http://io9.com/5906245/read-a-preview-of-a-groovy-manga+influenced-martian-horror-graphic-novel
They ran a preview of the first pages, which were drawn soooo loooong agooooooo.
Last of my commission sale work. Then I’ve got a collaboration print to work on and it’s back to drawing comics.
I’m in a sharing mood today.
Here’s a couple of panels from my upcoming Spera short that I did for volume 2.
Well, yet another project I had cooking is dead. Well, to me at least. I’m sure someone else will draw it. I’ll most likely recycle all of these character designs eventually.
Something rad came in the mail today!
Get your copy of DOGS of Mars for $8 if you pre-order on Amazon right now!
It’s been months since this project died, so I think it’s safe enough to post a little concept art I did for it.
Not going to go into what it was, but it would have been a fun book to draw.
I did an interview for CBR about DOGS of MARS and some other stuff I’ve been up to. I also dug up some inking footage from DOM and compiled it. Sorry for the poor quality but it ends in a cute puppy scene!
I’m having a two week art sale where everything on the OOSA store is half off! This does include commissions as well.
Paul Maybury is having a HUGE sale that starts today (Friday) at 10am EST. Half off all of his art in the OOSA store, including these 4 new pieces! And if that’s not enough, Paul will also be offering commissions for only $50 (plus shipping)! But, the sale is only going to last for 2 weeks and I imagine things will go quickly. So if you want something, don’t dilly-dally.
If you’ll be in the Boston area on March 5th, consider catching the opening reception for Tak Toyoshima’s “Asian Americana” at Zuzu in Central Square! Tak is the creative director of Boston’s Weekly Dig as well as the creator of the incisive and long-running strip Secret Asian Man. Plus he’s an ace guy, so show a local creator and strong voice in the Asian American arts community your support!
Tak was one of the first guys to give me illustration work. We even did a giant painting together for some live art show years ago. I believe it’s still rolled up somewhere in the Weekly Dig office. Any ways, if you’re in the area check this out!
