The Eyebrows Have It

This was a compilation of eyebrows I drew while drawing Weirdlings, collected by my buddy Dan Greenwald. I used to start every drawing with eyes, so no surprise I like animated eyebrows.

My Mummy Loves Me Color test

This was a color test for Phineus comics. I had avoided colors for a long while, mainly because I didn’t know how to do it. I even had half of “Ruins of a Moonlit Landscape” colored (poorly) up on the old Strumhaus site way back when. I really didn’t learn how to correctly color (I.E. using layers) until I did a few covers and colored all of Weirdlings. I believe I used this page as a test for Phineus. This story is an old favorite of mine. You can read it here: https://phinmagicstudio.wordpress.com/classic-phineus-archive/my-mummy-loves-me/

Agnes Beam

Here’s one that never got off the ground. Agnes Beam, Phineus’ great, great aunt, doing Victorian things in 1880’s Pittsburgh. Glenn Csonka even started work on a story. I may end up doing a time travel crossover with Agnes and Cole, eventually.

Phineas as Phineus

This was a fun doodle by my sister and nephew, Myles. They had a running joke and needed to see it in a drawing. Thanks, guys!

Josephat Rotwang

Here is Rotwang in all his glory. This is also me, at 20, in a bald cap in the basement of the house I was living in at the time. My buddy and photography major, John Burris took the pics. I added in the effects by superimposing an areosol spray, lit with a match. The magic of the darkroom!

I did a series of these and made up spell descriptions and how to cast them and made up a bound book! It was fun. If I can find the book, I may scan it and post it. Big if.

Phineus Boy Wizard Sketch

This was an initial sketch idea of Phineus for a solo strip I had planned to do, over 12 years ago. Never go very far into planning, but as you see he has the magic whiffle bat in the new comic, that I promise to get back to really soon!
