Yeah, so I signed up for another webcomic site over at Drunk Duck. I got this from DJ Coffman’s site. They were just bought by Platinum, the company DJ just won that contest from.
Neat layout, cool forums and the upload of comics seems easy, I figure I’ll mirror my CG site and get extra exposure.

I have nothing there , yet. Maybe over the weekend.
That is all…
I am really excited about the 24 hour comic day. I, however , am not sure how I am going to do it. I have two small children and don’t sleep enough as it is. I do plan on doing some of it at the book store
http://www.517521.com/signup.htm .I’ll probably do alot at home, too. I am toying with the idea of doing a zombie story in crayon! I’m going to practice a little and see how feasable this is.
I think I’ll be doing it on 81/2×11 pages and alot of single pagers, not out of laziness, but because I’ve always wanted to try since that issue of GIJOE when we were kids with Snakeeyes. We’ll see.

I am attempting this for the first time this year.
Should be great fun!

It was another crazy- busy weekend. I had my cousin’s wedding Sturday after my daughter Emmy’s third birthday on Friday, the whole time trying to see my parents as much as pssible as they are in from Tampa this week for the wedding!
Yikes! I just wanna draw! I’ll try and catch up this week. Next weekend we re-do the kitchen!
Blah!
Sweet! Prepare! Draw!
That is all….

I feel really behind this week. I just finished drawing Fridays Weirdlings. I usually like to have those done by Monday. I am unsure if I’ll get much drawing done this week. My family is coming in from Tampa for a wedding. Yep, I have another one this weekend. I’m just a guest , not in it so it won’t suck up as much time.
I really want to get going on the art for those TPB covers. Grrr.
It’s been a very busy weekend. I was best man in my buddy Dave’s wedding, pretty much sucked up my whole weekend. I did get Monday’s Weirdlings strip done, Wed is drawn, I’ll color tomorrow. So much to do, so little time!
Is it just me , or does “Luke Ravenstal” sound more like the name for a vampire hunter than the mayor of Pittsburgh?
Or wait! Luke Ravenstal Mayor/Vampire Hunter!
Discuss amongst yourselves…

Hiya!
I have been crazy busy! Sorry for no updates in a while!
This weeks projects include…
I have all this weeks Weirdlings strips done, I’d like to get started on next weeks as I am in a wedding this weekend and it’s sucking up most of the weekend, when I usually do the strips.
Also, as my page a week, I am working on the artwork for the new cover of The Phineus Complete Vol 1 and Vol 2. I hope to get the black and white work completed this week, and color it next week. I’ll be going to press soon with these and I am submitting them both to Dark Horse and want them to look really killer!
To that end I spent quite some time over the weekend prepping older pages for both web and printing. Not very glamourous stuff, but very time consuming! All my older stuff has been cleaned up and Vectroized! Looks really spiffy and clean!
I also had to reconstruct the covers from Vol 1 issues #4 and #5. I didn’t have the originals and had to piece them together and clean them up!
Urrgh!

>I have finished the script for Phineus: Boy Wizard # 1. It’s a story that takes place in 1981, sort of an origin story if you can call it that. It’s also a pre-cursor to more stories of Phin as a boy and his adventures before he became an adult Mage.
I have page # 1 and 2 finished. You can check out the preview pages , and all my new stuff and sketches at my blog at http://phinmagic.livejournal.com .

I am just finishing up the script for the 12 ish pages of the Phineus: Boy Wizard story. Pretty funny, all kinds of Exorcist jokes.
This will be the EXTRA in the upcoming Complete Phineus Vol #2 that will be out soon along with a second printing of Phineus Vol #1, which will have some new extras including new cover art and other goodies. Both will be available online , later this fall, from Comixpress!
Fun stuff!

Here’s the second page of Phineus:Boy Wizard, it’s part of a web strip I’d like to do if I can ever find the time, this story involves the meeting of Phin and certain priest from an earlier Phineus story. SHould be fun!
Hello, all.
Here is the first page of Phineus:Boy Wizard.
Expect a lot of Star WArs talk as that is all I used to do at 11, that and Charlies Angels!
