KNUCKLEJELLY AND FILTHY HABIT!
My big halloween themed comic Knucklejelly is going great. I was considering releasing it as a mini series, but the story is so large and the first issue is composed of mainly boring world building stuff (no matter how hard I tried to fix that), which makes me wonder if there's enough of a hook to get anyone to buy the second issue. So I'll be pitching it as a original graphic novel now.
This decision has me excited, because it will help the story as a whole, and bummed out that it will probably be another year before it ever hits the shelves (if I can find anyone to publish it.)
In any case, I'm doing some smaller projects while I'm working on Knucklejelly to keep my work on the shelves in 2008.
The first thing I've done is a short story starring my monster hunter Simon Squareskull, I've been kicking around doing a webcomic starring him, but I've saved his first published appearance to be in an upcoming Viper comics anthology. It's odd, experimental, but awesome stuff.
I also just started working on a really fun one-shot comic written by Dave Justus with half of the book drawn by me and the other half drawn by the awesome Thomas P. Reidy. We were planning on keeping a lid on the title and the story until Thomas spilled the beans on his blog. Ha! So now I have free reign. The book will be called Filthy Habit and it is a love song to exploitative movies from the 60's - 70's. It stars evil werewolf bikers and nuns. I already have three of my sixteen pages penciled and I just started this weekend. It's really fun! Here a few character designs from my sketchbook.
Things are good.
