MRVLCATS: Nick Furry

I'm normally not a meme-guy... but with Twitter being filled with cats yesterday, I decided to do some quick sketching and came up with... Nick Furry, Agent Of C.A.T.N.I.P. (Cats Armed To Nationally Intervene & Protect).

Li'l LDB - Part III

I was, happily, asked to create another Li'l LDB strip... as long as they ask, I'll happily keep doing them... check it out here:

Excellent Mason script (as always) - excellent character. If you aren't following this series... why not?

TERRIBLE DELAYS!

I have no excuse except I have been so busy at work I've done little, if anything, else most days for the last 2 months.

I'm still busy, but I'm MAKING time to draw a little.

Lightning Girl has been delayed slightly, but is still coming very soon.

More "What Can't Be Erased" to be completed soon - I may self-publish again this summer. Stay tuned.

What is THIS? This is Devo... well, Devo's new masks... there's something about their new masks and the Watch Us Work It poster that feels strangley post-apocalyptic to me... like an underground resistance against the mainstream. Do yourself a favour and dig into the weirdness that is Devo's new corporate marketing, research and data collection strategy... truly strange.

The Supervillain

DOOM. The supervillain.

So, why did I draw DOOM? A couple reasons... one, I did a picture of him years back but based in on Dr. Doom (his namesake and visual reference point, especially on the first album cover). Second, I saw him this week.

After hearing a couple years back that he couldn't make it into the country I was pumped to hear he was coming - and bring Mos Def.

Then Mos Def dropped off the bill the day before (without explanation). REMG (the promoter) promised they'd ID DOOM (he'd sent performers in his place in the past to lip synch) - so I figured I'd go anyways.

Suffice to say - worst. Concert. Experience. Ever.

Technical difficulties. Delayed starts. Unapologetic promoter. Unapologetic performer. I've probably seen over 300 shows in my life - and this was hands down the worst run show I've ever seen.

So I drew DOOM... exorcising some demons, I suspect. And dropping him in his weird orange hoodie and hat he showed up wearing on stage. A weird night - and one I won't be repeating - even if he decides to make another rare trip north of the 49th.

Maybe next year, Li'l LDB...

I was pleasantly surprised, and a little panicked, when I was asked to join the fun a second time during the Li'l Depressed Boy Guest Fortnight... bookending the 6 strips with two Li'l LDB strips showing the early heartbreaks, and resiliant nature, of our young hero.

Love it. Love the strip. Hope I get to do more in the future. Extra thanks again to my writer... whoever he might be.

Battle Hymn

The Proud American

The Mid-Nite Hour

One American super soldier, one British super spy... from B. Clay Moore's amazing Battle Hymn... something a little different.

Enjoy!

Little LDB

Hoping Mr. Struble doesn't mind my posting this... it was my final character sketch before doing a guest shot on his FANTASTIC Lil' Depressed Boy.

Long story short - I did a pic of LDB last year, we chatted back and forth for some time, and when he needed some fill in artists, gave me a shout... the rest is, well, this... enjoy!

Excellent script by the enigmatic Vaughn Mason...

2009: A Musical Year In Review (Part 8)

And there you have it... I assume #1 wasn't a huge surprise, but I hope some of you found something interesting here (artistically OR musically). 2009 was good musically - but a pretty crap year otherwise. Glad to see it gone...

Feel free to post comments, thoughts or whatever - hey, just let me know some of you actually read this mess [smirk]... comments can be left even if you don't have an account (anonymous option - but feel free to sign it anyways hehe).

Back to the grind - got a comic to finish, another to get underway, and a new project to try and whip into shape... stay tuned! 2010 - weird. Just weird.

2009: A Musical Year In Review (Part 7)

Albums 5-3... one more post to go!
