Psychic Girl Draws Faces of The Dead

This was a ballpoint pen drawing study I did for a piece called “Psychic Girl Draws Faces of The Dead”. I got the name from the title of a National Enquirer article. I eventually did the whole piece 23 x 36 in Ball point pen, used 8 of the damn pens before it was finished.I always liked this first drawing best.

Cheers

I know I haven’t done a new page in a while, but I got Phineus: Boy WIzard page #1 done, I’ll post it later this week.

I also got all this weeks Weirdlings strips done by Monday, I taught myself how to animate a gif and made two Phineus animations.. next up a Weirdlings animation! Mmmm…tentacles!

I hope to bang out the Weirdlings by Friday-ish and get a couple pages done over the weekend.

Catch ya later!

Terror # 21

Here’s the last page of The Terror of Leap Castle. I hope you liked it. It was fun, but enormously frustrating from the writing aspect. It took me forever to figure how to bridge the beginning and the end!

Next week I’ll show you some of “Phineus: Boy Wizard”.

Weirdlings Print!!

Hello, all. I just couldn’t resist showing this off to you, all. Brian has been putting together the various strips, readying them for our first print compilation, due out this fall. I think the strips, together as a comic page , look really freaking sweet.

Terror # 19

Nearing the end of this one, I dug this page. As if it were on the monitor and was being narrarated by our heroes!

Have fun!

SCIENCE!!!

There’s a funny reference to Thomas Dolby, today over at Wapsi ( http://www.wapsisquare.com )!

I just sat down and planned out the next year of my art. Sept 06- Aug 07. I needed to figure this out, with my new site up and a fully operational space station ( http://phinmagic.comicgenesis.com ), I have all of my current stuff updating, in order, from 1991 to today, 5 days a week over there. It will take the site a little over a year to catch up to me , now.

I had to scope out what I needed to do to give a buffer and allow me to still update 5 days a week after I catch up. I need to finish 2 and a half pages a week, that includes 1 page a week of Weirdlings(3 strips = 1 full page), and the rest Phineus. I will be designing the pages so that they can be posted as 2-3 strips, thus allowing me to fill a week with two pages. Now, before you say, “hey that’s cheese”, keep in mind I have a day job and two young kids, AND I am toying with the idea that they may be in COLOR, so there’s that. We’ll see.

So, 2.5 pages a week, that’s 130 pages in the next 12 months. That’s like the equivalent of a bi- monthly comic! Wish me luck!

OLD Phin and Sara

These are the two earliest pics I have of Phin and Sara, how eighties can you get. I don’t know if I even had names for them , yet. I did these waaaay back in 1987, I was still just a kid. Phin is going to be 20 next year! WOW. Gonna be a big year, and it should be my most prolific and productive!

Cool things coming!

Phineus: Boy Wizard

Here are some of the prelim sketches for yet another Phineus related story/series, about whaen Phineus was a little boy and was just learning about his powers, before he was admitted to Fourier Mysticollege. Its going to be fun!

Malek-a-rific!

This guy is called Malek the Morninglord, a priest of Lysander. He was a character of mine from forgotten realms, D & D. I had always wanted to do stories about him. Interestingly the story I started about him was changed into “Maynard and Grimm #1”. I even toyed with having Malek crossover with Phin and Sara in “Team up” type of cross dimentional story. I dunno, maybe he’ll show up in “Boy wizard”, we’ll see.

I just Pencilled and inked next Monday’s Weirdlings, and can I say…Oh MY God!!!! Wait till you see….

Phineus at Comic Genesis

Holy Hell, this site is killing me. I already am barely web savvy, and their site has some extra twists, so it’s very challenging. I’ve been fighting with my archives and layout, I hope to get the bugs worked out soon. This has eaten up my whole weekend. All I want to do is draw!

Grrrr!

Barry

Phineus at Comic Genesis

Hello , All.

My new website, over at Comic Genesis (AKA Keenspace)is up at http://phinmagic.comicgenesis.com/ , I have my entire archive of 15 years of Phineus updating 5 days a week! So, go on over and check it out!

Weirdlings

These are drawings from my college notebooks, God knows how I did so well…

I received my Weirdlings scripts for next week, today from Brian. Wow! I have already pencilled them all. Let’s just say this is where the Shit hits the fan! Good stuff! I , literally have to draw them so I can see what’s up next! Long live WEIRDLINGS!!!!

Barry

PS. Happy Anniversary my wife Chrissie!!

huh.

I stole this from Brian Babyok, writer of Weirdlings, who stole this from Dan Greenwald who made this crazy collection of eyebrows from Weirdlings, illustrating the number of times the characters have had a perplexed look on their face.

I do like to draw eyebrows, I guess it’s my signature thing. I find them the most expressive part of the body to draw.

Iguess that’s why I don’t trust Whoopi Goldberg and Kris Kristofferson, y’know, no eyebrows…( and the fact that HIS name , literally means “Kris son of Kristofer”)

Barry

Terror of Leap Castle

A new “Terror” page! I have been plotting like a madman and designing for the new Phin story. I can’t wait to give you guys some!

I also pencilled and inked the two remaining strips for Weirlings, for this week, tonight. I LIKE IT! Yay!

I have also been learning stuff for Comics Genesis, I’ll have another site for Phineus through them, they are an affiliate of Keenspace, I hope to gather more readership through them, as well.

Busy, Busy, Busy….
