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!

Weirdlings is the other big love of my life. It’s a comic about a guy who lives next door to the ultimate evil and all the hilarity that insues! Check it out here!
So, tonight at work I just finished pencilling and inking two pages, and pencilled the last page of “The Radon Farting Bastard Aliens from Hell”. Just gotta ink thelast and do up the cover and blammo! Done!
Next back to The Sara: One Shot. I hope to get the first half(up to page 20) done by years end.
If I do, that’s 73 pages this year! That’s a page and a half a week. That’s not even counting the 125 Weirdlings strips (that’s another 42 comic pages!)That’s the equivalent of almost 6 – 20 page comics this year! Holy productive year Batman!!
Live the Metal.
Hiya,
Sorry I haven’t updated, but witht he holiday and stuff I really haven’t done much.
I have done 5 strips in the last week, and ate way too much!
I have finished prepping pages for the web and I have tweeked my sites a little.
I had my best week for visits last week, so far. Cool to know I’m being read!
I am sick as a dog, too. Bleck!

So mamoulian thinks I’m crazy. Me doing the 24 Hr Comic Challenge this weekend AND still getting the Weirdlings strips done for next week. Maybe I am, but I already have Friday AND Monday’s strips Drawn, I just have to color and letter them.
I have no idea what I am doing my 24 comic about. I’m freaking. I know I shouldn’t but…
I guess we’ll see.
Anyone else? You guys know what you are doing, yet?
Inquiring minds…
It was a busy weekend… I got a lot done. It has a lot to do witht the fact that I get a 4 day weekend EVERY WEEK. Yeah, this week I started working 3 12 hour shifts, 5 PM – 5:30 AM T, W ,TH. Fri- Mon off, Yeah!
I know I haven’t done a new page in a while, but I got Phineus: Boy WIzard page #1 done, I’ll post it later this week.
I also got all this weeks Weirdlings strips done by Monday, I taught myself how to animate a gif and made two Phineus animations.. next up a Weirdlings animation! Mmmm…tentacles!
I hope to bang out the Weirdlings by Friday-ish and get a couple pages done over the weekend.
Catch ya later!

This guy is called Malek the Morninglord, a priest of Lysander. He was a character of mine from forgotten realms, D & D. I had always wanted to do stories about him. Interestingly the story I started about him was changed into “Maynard and Grimm #1”. I even toyed with having Malek crossover with Phin and Sara in “Team up” type of cross dimentional story. I dunno, maybe he’ll show up in “Boy wizard”, we’ll see.
I just Pencilled and inked next Monday’s Weirdlings, and can I say…Oh MY God!!!! Wait till you see….
Barry
These are drawings from my college notebooks, God knows how I did so well…
I received my Weirdlings scripts for next week, today from Brian. Wow! I have already pencilled them all. Let’s just say this is where the Shit hits the fan! Good stuff! I , literally have to draw them so I can see what’s up next! Long live WEIRDLINGS!!!!
Barry
PS. Happy Anniversary my wife Chrissie!!
I stole this from Brian Babyok, writer of Weirdlings, who stole this from Dan Greenwald who made this crazy collection of eyebrows from Weirdlings, illustrating the number of times the characters have had a perplexed look on their face.
I do like to draw eyebrows, I guess it’s my signature thing. I find them the most expressive part of the body to draw.
Iguess that’s why I don’t trust Whoopi Goldberg and Kris Kristofferson, y’know, no eyebrows…( and the fact that HIS name , literally means “Kris son of Kristofer”)

A new strip is up today, featuring Jess’s butt in all it’s glory, check it out at http://www.weirdlings.com
I love drawing girl butts. MMMMM.
Cya,
Barry
There’s a new Weirdlings up, today. It’s neat having a deadline, because, by nature , we artists are moody bitches and today I wasn’t in the mood to draw, but I had to a battled through it. Yay Me!

Hello, all!
Just thought I’d give you all a heads up on what’s up this week.
I have been working on this weeks Weirdlings comics, good stuff and an interesting new story line.
I also have been working on prepping all my comics for print, look for the online store for Strumhaus stuff this fall!
This is a drawing of my space marine commander , Magnus Ver Magnussen, for my Chapter “The Imperial Frogz”.
I should have all this and next weeks Weirdlings strips done this week, and I hope to sneek in a Sara page to boot. I will also be doing anotherWrestling Theatre strip coming up this week as well!
Well I’ll see you all later…
Barry
HEllo, all. We will have a new strip up today at http://www.weirdlings.com , so check it out.
SO this week I skipped my Sara page this week, since I had done two last week. Not to be lazy, but to work on Weirdlings stuff. Tonight I drew Mondays strip. It may not seem like alot, but any new “set” I do a very detailed picture of it , color it and use it to be dropped in behind my characters on sunbsequent strips. Monday we introduce new characters and a whole new story arc that should be really cool.
starting with mondays strip I am going to be trying to kick it up a notch with the colors, trying to set mood with them like those in the old “Crimson” comics. We’ll see how that goes.
Wish me luck!
Barry
