Boy Wizards 9

Avid fans may recognize this kind of creature as the same that kidnapped Phin in The Hollow Earth.

Scud guest art

To commemorate Scud: The Disposable Assasin’s 30th anniversary, I did a Scud piece. I’ve loved Scud since Rob Schrab was doing shows in the early 90s when I was starting out. Now, he’s big and famous, but I’m still doing Phineus. It’s a tradeoff.

Old Art

This is a photo of old art I found in my Google Photos. There are 4 original covers worth of art here, two paper doll prototypes and a couple sketches. These are all very old. Probably 1993-94.

The top one is a wraparound cover for issue #1. Markers and watercolors.

2023, the year in review

I know it’s a little late for a last year’s reflection, but here goes.

My year of art was inconsistent, at least. I’d been very disappointed, but when I go back and think of what I was able to complete, when I was able to work, it’s not too bad.

I finished, in the last 12 months, give or take, 70 comic pages and/or covers, a whole months worth of daily sketch cards, 2 sketchbooks full of drawings and a couple of shows.

And by and large it’s some of my best work, to date.By no means my best, but battling through depression and everything, I’ll take it.

Here’s to a more consistent year!

Old Art in the Wild

I was sent his pic of some old art someone of Facebook sent to me with questions of where they were used.

The black and white one was the line art for the first edition of The Complete Phineus Volume 1. The color one in the middle was going to be the cover for Issue #6, if I remember correctly ( I ended up using a Photo of myself from photo class as Rotwang).

The third one, I completely forgot about. I believe I did some color pics for when John Burris and I ran Backwaters RPG at gaming conventions. It was a blast from the past!

I still get freaked out by art I’d forgotten I’d drawn, even 30 years ago!

Sketchbook dump

I’ve been messing around with an idea to do a space story about a bunch of aliens who get stuck on a derelict space station. I’ve been finding some cool tabletop war/RPGs that have inspired me. I’m not sure if this’ll go anywhere, but here’s what I’ve been fiddling with.

Boy Wizards 7

And we’re back! Sorry about the delay. Holidays, work and commission work all got in the way.

Secret Santa Wizzard

Here’s an art piece I did for Draw or Die’s Secret Santa! Starting to feel better after Covid and a Sinus infection right after, been a rough month and a half.

Phineus by Andrew Lopez

Here is a great piece of Phineus guest art by Drew Lopez. It was all part of the art exchange through Draw or Die Club.

Barcrawl of the Damned 23

And this story is finally done. Took way too long. Depression and anxiety are for reals.

Up, next, Maynard and Grimm’s final 8 pages, then Boy Wizards!

Promptober 2023

Once again, this year, I participated in Draw or Die Club’s Promptober challenge. It was challenging and lots of fun! I was able to do this and continue work on all three stories I’ve been working on as well! So, good times!

That said, I’m glad I did it, but glad it’s over so I can focus on my stories! I’ll definitely do it again, next year!

For more info on how YOU too can draw every damn day, head over to Draw of Die Club and sign up!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

The Complete Phineus Volume 2 second edition cover

After finishing up the bonus Phineus story, “The Lake Erie Horror “, I got the cover done for the next Trade Paperback. The Complete Phineus Volume 2 second edition will be up for sale at Amazon, soon. I have some design work to do before I send it off.

Once this goes up, I still have stories and new covers to do for Trades Complete Phineus 3, 4 & 5, and Maynard and Grimm.

All my books can be purchased at my Amazon store.

Barcrawl of the Damned 18

The priestess is in fact an elf. My elves are all from Atlantis, which now resides in the Hollow Earth.

Drawing Every Damn Day

Drawing every day isn’t always easy. Seems easy. Just draw. Stuff can get in the way. You’re tired. You’re busy. You’re sick. I get it.

I used to draw every day. For years. Decades, even. There a few years, back in the early 10s where I almost did 200 pages a year. I slowed down, as stuff happened.

My daughter was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease and we spent a lot of time in Children’s Hospital for a good 6 years. Still, I drew, if not every day, most days.

Then, the Car accident happened and I lost a lot of mobility and strength in both hands, most in my drawing hand. Months of physical therapy and I taught my hand to draw again. Since then, I’ve had fits and starts. I deal with pain and arthritis from the injury, and PTSD from the roll-over crash.

But, ironically, the best medicine, for my mental health is drawing. Without art, I become depressed, anxious and miserable. So, I fight through it. I fight through the pain, the doubt, the self loathing, the fear and the desperation, because I know art is my salvation.

I usually, these days, draw digitally. I miss the tactile feel of pen and pencil on paper, so I’m doing a lot more sketching and doing stories on paper to mix it up. Drawing is drawing.

Draw or die is a very real thing. Researchers discovered that people who engaged in artistic activities, such as painting, drawing and sculpting, in both middle and old age were 73% less likely to have memory and thinking problems, such as mild cognitive Impairment, that lead to dementia.

Right now I am in a stretch of about a month and a half of drawing every day. It feels so good!

I know I’ll go through bouts of doubt and art block. I’ll fight through it and draw.
