CTN Poster

In place of a comic I’m posting a ‘work in progress’ poster I’m creating for the upcoming CTN-X Animation Expo in Burbank Nov 18th-20th where I will be exhibiting. I have been so slammed with preparing for this convention that I have not had the time to do a regular comic but I thought I would at least let you see what I’m working on.

If you have never heard on CTN-X it has quickly become the place the animation industry convention for anyone interested in animation as a career or any regard for that matter right in the heart of the LA animation industry. It is packed with discussions, panels and artist that you have all heard of. I am very fortunate to be a part of it and always have a great, exhausting time.

If you’d like to get a discount on attending you can click on the “Join Me At CTN” add on right side border of this website.

Have a good week.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN.

Since my weekly Monday comic posting was gonna hit on Halloween I had no choice but to make it about this holiday. It’s a little lighter fair than usual. I guess the spirit of the season mellowed me a little.

Although I have never witnessed or heard of kids doing this on Halloween I have to believe it has happened in some capacity. Social media is just too ingrained into our youth to think otherwise.

As you can see, I colored this week’s strip. I decided on this as I was creating the comic in a more rough style and thought one or more color might look cool. I really like the result but it took a lot longer to do than I would have liked. Such is life. That aside I hope the comic reads well and gives a few smiles.

I hope everyone has a great Halloween! Until next time!

Not sure who this dude is.  Perhaps a modern day He-Man Hipster.  Created in Manga Studio as part of the 30 Characters in 30 Days project.

So Many Choices

So Many Choices

This was based on a sketch I did at all places – a coffee shop.  I tried to keep this to a 4 panel comic but I have a feeling it would have played better strung out over 6 or 8 panels rather than having the all the dialogue bunched into 2 panels.

I went back and forth on this comic so many times; stopping and starting it again.  I think the body language of the guy came out good but the overall comic is so so.  Been one of those weeks but you have to get through the not so great stuff to reach the great stuff so it is all good.

I’ll post some quick comics during the week or at least some other cartooning art work.

Have a good week.

It Starts Early

It Starts Early

Here is another 4 panel comic.  I was trying to find a way to showing the crazy pressure we place on ourselves to succeed and I think this show it in an absurd, funny way hopefully.  There is nothing wrong for trying to be the best and wanting to succeed and looking up to others but we need to also remember we are on our own path which is different from anyone else before us or anyone who comes after us.  We need to remember patience as well as have drive to be all we can be.  Something I struggle with like the rest of us.

Hope you liked it.  Have a great week.

Daddys Hopes

Parents try to do everythiing in their power to steer their children towards success or sometimes push them to accomplish what they never did.  Some parents are relentless some don’t push hard enough. But in the end a huge part of how your kids turn out is out of your hands.  I guess that’s why being present, love them, set a good example for them and allowing them to fail and learn are so important too.  Now if I could only remember that more often myself.

This is the first of some of my new 4 panel comics.

Have a great week.

Mystery Of History “Beast of Beard-en” pt.3

Mystery Of History “Beast of Beard-en” pt.3

Sorry, but you will need to wait a little longer to see that door open.  I originally intended part 1-3 to be posted in 2 parts and by part 3 you would see who was behind the door but now it looks like I’m milking this thing but I swear that was not my intention.

To be honest this whole thing is one giant experiment.  It started with a little gag about a man parting with his beloved beard and the beard taking on human characteristics and then ballooned into a small little story.  Hopefully my jokes do not slow down the pace of the comic too but this does become more of an issue due to the fact you have to wait a week to read what happens next.  Ah, the trials of making a weekly comic.

Curious to know what you think.  Have a great week.

Mystery Of History “Beast of Beard-en” pt.2

Here is part 2 of this “Mystery of History – Beast of Beard-en.”  I changed up the style and made the whole thing much more cartoony which changed the character design of the main guy.  Hopefully it does not throw anyone off.  Overall I like this look better.

Mystery Of History “Beast of Beard-en” pt.1

This is a semi ‘mash up’ post between “On This Day Cartoon” & “52 Villains” although the ‘villain’ part does not happen till after part 1.  I also Incorporated the idea of “mystery” or “Mysterious” which is the topic of the week for Illustration Friday.  If you do not know about Illustration Friday you really need to check it out.  It is an amazing site where artist of all different levels get together and create illustrations (or comics) based on a new word every week.

Thank you for visiting.  Have a good Labor Day.
