Mikey’s Bobby and Dimitri
Mirrored from Phinmagic.com.
This is Mike Wood’s original designs for Bobby and Dimitri. I met Mike at Kinko’s, I was his trainer! We became friends, and after owing me a script for like forever, I asked to draw Creephunter, and the rest is history! Soon, hopefully , we will have a Phineus/Creephunter crossover! Y’know that Bobby and Sara are ex’s, right?

Delay due to dead trees!
Mirrored from Phinmagic.com.
Yeah, As you may have noticed, I missed my Phin Page last week. We had a bit of a script delay coupled with the fact that we are attempting to get print books ready for the upcoming con season and up over at Indy Planet. I have the script for the next 3 pages, I just have to squeeze in the drawing of those, Weirdlings and Creephunter. Hopefully I can get back on track quickly.
Better get busy!

Almost there…
Mirrored from Phinmagic.com.
Wow, after 32 pages, I am almost done with the Zombie Rat storyline! I am inking the very last page as we speak!
Wow this thing kinda got away from me! I do, however , think it’s the best writing I have done to date. It’s fun, I have a lot of characters and a lot more plot going on than most of my stuff. I think I’ve really turned a corner here. I hope you guys are digginf it.
Up next, I start up Creephunter 2 and then on to part 2 of 3 of The Great jaguar Paw.
Onward and upward!

Updates!

Greetings, all!
I have been diligently banging away at stuff, the past couple weeks.
I have no new Bio for June 2, as I spent a good part of the past week redesigning my websites. I needed to have the Comicgenesis and Drunk Duck sites match what the NEW Rampage Network site will look like.
I have up to page 12 of “Zombie Rat Uprising” drawn, so I have a nice buffer.
My page count so far this year is 64, so I’m a little behind schedule. I have a good excuse, I spent ALOT of time prepping my print/PDF download pages for the NEW support section on my site. I have nothing up at Wowio, yet. The Print versions of the first two Volumes should be available soon. Drive Thru and Cafepress are up and running.
Here is a pic of a sister of battle for you.
Gotta run, I have yard work and a pool to open!

A shit load of pages…
Mirrored from Phinmagic.com.
So, as I was counting how I was doing with my page count so far this year (40 so far), I got to thinking,just how many pages I have done in my adult life.
Now I drew a lot in Middle/High School, but none is very professional. So I counted all the pages I’ve done since leaving High School. This does not count sketches or most pinups. It counts story pages, covers and the odd professional pinup. It also doesn’t count non comic artwork.
As a rough estimate I’d say @ 800+ pages done since 1988. Keep in mind 199 of those were done last year and another @ 100 the year before. My output is escalating. And I gotta say, my quality has vastly improved as well. Something to be said for the more you draw the better you get.
As Chuck Jones once said to me,” Every artist has a certain number of bad drawings in them, the key is to get those out of the was early.”.
Practice , practice, practice.
Rock on…
