If you guys are looking for a comic that is the embodiment of DIFFERENT, check out Chris Ryall’s WEEKLY WORLD NEWS from IDW Publishing. I read the TPB yesterday, and holy shit - crazy, funny, weird, wonderful. I wish there were more. Steve Niles made that post about creators having to support one another and pimp other creators’ work… and books like this just make that easy. And hell, it’s six bucks and change on Amazon NEW. I feel like a whore pimping Amazon, but damn - get this book!
Preliminary character designs for a new project! Super stoked about working on this one.
Here are some designs from an upcoming creator-owned graphic novel I’m doing with Sarah ‘Pickles’ Dill, tentatively titled THOMASINA’S HUMAN ZOO. I want to write this every day forever. You should totally click her Tumblr link (above) to see her sweet art.
Yet another character design from my creator-owned graphic novel, EX LIBRIS. This one is of Professor Peterson, the resident expert on the Middle Ages.
Art by Michael Hamlett.
Mike and I are working on these for Ex Libris, a graphic novel we plan on pitching around in the summer and fall of this year.
Ex Libris is a story about literature. It’s about how fiction bleeds into reality, influencing and shaping human life more than human life shapes it. It’s about Beowulf. It’s about a professor of literature who meets his fictional idol face to face… and is faced with the crisis of telling this character that he is, in fact, made-up.
It’s about monsters and heroes. It’s about a world that no longer has a place for either of those things… for now.
More to come!
I’ll be putting out one of these every day for the next few days. We began with Erin before moving on to Seamus. Tomorrow… Grendel!
