Behind the scenes!

comIt’s my birthday and I can cry if I want to… oops… I mean, I have something awesome to share! 

One thing I’ve always enjoyed is seeing behind the scenes of how a comic book gets made. There are A LOT of moving parts in play in order to get those glossy panels we come to take for granted. Lots of refining goes into getting the perfect panel.

I decided today to give a peak behind the creation of one of the panels from Joe Hunter and I’s comic.

Think of it as a shinny reverse birthday present from me to you

Enjoy!

Script

Panel 3 On this scene 10 year old Daniel is in a hospital and his father and an army doctor are talking about his health.

We have a patient’s eye view of a doctor looking above Daniel and the hospital light shining on his face. With still  two voice bubbles on each side of him. His father and the army doctor talking about his health.

 

LOU DOUGLAS
Give it to me straight Doc!
Will my son ever have a normal life after this?

ARMY DOC
So far he doesn’t seem to be affected. But it’s to early to tell. We’ll need to keep him for a week, to be sure.

NARRATION BOX
But one thing’s certain…
I always find myself in this bed.

What do network executives consistently get wrong in comedy? (x)

Sadly it’s not just comedy…

Need some advice about where to find out where you should go tomorrow for Free Comic Book Day?  What to find out what comics we are looking forward to picking up?  Check out this article at Crisp Comics!

Yep I own these Ghostwriter DVDs. Don’t judge me!

Here is a sneak peak of a panel from our newest comic! joebloodyhunter is doing a PHENOMENAL job! 

thumbcramps:

hi guys! this is a comic i made for a final in my comics in literature class. we had to do a research paper on a topic we’d discussed in class and then accompany it with a comic with a relevant subject. my paper was about hyper-sexualization of women in comic books, but i decided to broaden it out here as well as personalize it and make myself the subject and discuss something i’ve been subjected to in the convention circuit and on the internet as well as thousands of other women, as well as give a cue to thought about how the comic book industry as well as the video game industry and even just media in general (all of which are male dominated) push such ridiculous pressures onto girls and women.

also, it feels kind of silly to have to add this since i hope it’s obvious, but i am very aware that there are men that don’t subscribe to this attitude, and am incredibly grateful that these issues are brought to light to people other than the ones that are subjected to it. 

anyway haha i have literally been staring at this for 9 hours i don’t even know which direction is up anymore. thanks for reading!!!

Wow…just wow…I hope all comic fans will read and share this.

In honor of Supes 75th birthday…here are some pics of me being super! :0)

I was inspired by a Wired article to create a creepy piece of art. The images are those of the Man-of-War photos plus an eye. I did some Photoshop tinkering to get the final results. 

I’m working with the incredibly talented Justin Wood on a comic I wrote about a vigilante food costumed squad.

Here are the good guys.

Keep your eyes open for more! 

I NEED YOU!

Sneakety-peek at a thing.

joebloodyhunter knocked it right out of the park. This is a scene from my upcoming comic and I couldn’t be happier. 

I’ve been working with the incredibly talented Joe Hunter on a new comic. More details coming soon. For now enjoy this beautifully inked panel! 

Here’s a hint for another comic I’m working on. This time with the super talented Justin Wood! I’m just gonna leave this right here and let your imagination go wild.

ccAnother sneak peek of a character done by the AWESOME Joe Hunter for my upcoming comic! Keep your eyes out for updates!
