Members Only Site is a go!

Hula Hoop Mummies Must Die I have set up a private, members only site that will have all sorts of goodies not available, here, on the main site. There will be extra stories, sketches, and any kind of stuff you guys want to see on it.

I am granting access to any whom donate $10 for a year’s access. If you are interested, donate via PayPal , email me at phinmail@gmail.com that you’ve done it and I’ll set you up with a membership and send an invite to grant you access.

This is a great way for you to see new stuff, gain access to new PDF downloads for free and get to petition me for whatever twisted bonus material you want to see me draw!

Did I mention you get the PDFs I release for free? That’s $12 worth of PDFs, plus bonus content for $10 a year!

Epic Happenings at Errant Apprentice!

Epic stuff is going down over at fellow studio-mate Kevin Hayman’s Errant Apprentice. Epic indeed. Wars of goblins, major characters dying. It’s awesome.

Plus, add to that that the main character, Terry, is starring in a Phineus adventure and will play a major part in The Kali Saga!

Go read up, get caught up in the story, and be ready for Terry in Phineus, soon!

Bonus Material

I’m starting work on bonus material, that will coincide with the current story, but will be available for PDF download and/or back up in the printed trade paperbacks when they come out.

I will try to do several of these through out the year. Would any of you consider a membership (cheap, like $2 a month) if this stuff was available only to members? Lemme know.

This will allow me to delve into a lot of the secondary characters and side stories and historical stories that I mention in the main story, but never have space to tell.

And don’t worry, we will continue the DAILY FULL COLOR adventures as has been going on.

Thanks for your support,

Barry

The Errant Apprentice

Here is my good buddy and studio-mate, Kevin Hayman’s comic,
The Errant Apprentice. A world similar to Phineus’, swords, sorcery and monsters in the modern world. Terry, the guy in the middle will be playing a role in the Kali Saga later this year. Check out his comic here: http://olddyingkitty.com/errant_apprentice/

Civil War Sketch Cards 2

Here are more of the cards. I surprised myself by really enjoying drawing the ships. The 2 guys on the bottom are my favs.

Civil Wars Cards 1

Here are the first of a set of Civil War sketch cards I did for Cult Stuff. I colored them all with marker in a sort of monochromatic color scheme to mimic the old photos I was using as reference.

The History of Phineus: The Color Of Magic

I like to use color to indicate a type of magic that is used. The colors equate to a school of magic. It’s an amalgamation of Matt Wagner’s Mage and lightsaber color from Star Wars.

Creephunter delay

I gotta apologize to Creephunter fans and especially Mikey Wood for starting Creephunter 3 and then abruptly stopping. I have WAY too much on my plate at this minute, with DAILY Phineus , too many sketch cards and commissions and too much summer activity. I will restart Creephunter, soonish, once I get a sizable buffer built up. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Little Person among Media Giants

I was just interviewed for an film that is being funded through Indiegogo. TGT’s kurt Sasso is mounting a monumental film about the struggle to survive in a world of media.

I’ve also donated pages for the stuggle. Please head over and check out the campaign and pitch in!

A Little Summary

This documentary follows an independent interviewer struggling to survive in this mass media world, working hard to not only find his place in the world, but to be recognized as well.

To do this he needs to get one great interview. The journey evolves by the not only personal stories being told, but also through other interviewees on their own successes and failures and how they are attempting to make a name for themselves.Morgan Spurlock is an influence on my Film making all because of “Comic Con: A Fans New Hope” as well as the Documentary “Indie Game: The Movie”.

The History of Phineus: Dwarves

The mighty dwarves! They first appeared in “Against the Giants“. They are an amalgamation of Norse myth, D&D and Warhammer 40K squats! I love these guys!

Harryhausen monster fest!

All the monsters! Wow, how many of these things have I used in Phineus?How many more will I put in? Ray, I love and will miss you!

Talos by Harryhausen

Another of Harryhausen’s gags that I’m using in the comic. (Oops! I’ve said too much!)

Ray Harryhausen’s Kali!

In keeping with our Ray Harryhausen theme, this week another great scene from the master! This one has it all! Harryhausen! Kali! (One of the influences on using Kali in the current storyline) and pre-Doctor Who Tom Baker!

Classic!
