The Thoughtfuls - Page Three

It's Twy - er, I mean... Wz-wyt- uh, well... however you spell it. Straight from the Infinite Cosmic Parallels it's page three of The Thoughtfuls in "Interview" for your Monday morning viewing pleasure! Click to view bigger

I found this page particularly difficult to colour, mainly the backgrounds and everything about Ytwztz. To be honest, I'm not entirely happy with it but I'm really really looking forward to finishing the next page which is my favourite of this story. I think I might try to upload the next two pages at the same time to wrap everything up so it will probably take a little longer than my usual one a week schedule.

The Thoughtfuls - Page Two

People exploding into puffs of smoke to odd sound effects?! Whoa, indeed! Here is page two of "Interview" starring THE THOUGHTFULS! While the first page is kind of straightforward, hopefully this one hints at more strange events to come. Hope you like it!

The Thoughtfuls - Page One

Here is the first page of five of a little comic I am working on about the greatest band to ever exist: The Thoughtfuls. Click on the image to view the full size.



Dramatic! Anyway, this comic is really kind of strange and came to me almost fully formed one night so I tried to work on it as quickly as I could. I hope to have the other pages up soon, hope you enjoy part one...

Literates in Quill & Quire

The Literates, the comic book series I draw for HarperCollins (first issue available here), got some coverage today in the Quill & Quire (Canada’s magazine of book news and reviews). The article, entitled "HarperCollins's superheroic marketing effort," is available here, but since it's membership only, I'll quote a little bit of the review:

In an effort to boost handselling of its own titles, HarperCollins Canada has come up with an unusual way of getting the attention of booksellers. Recently, the company sent retailers across the country about 4,000 copies of a promotional comic book it created, called The Literates...The eight-page pamphlet has the look and feel of a real comic, and it comes in a protective plastic sleeve with cardboard backing, just like at a real comic book store.

I have to admit, reading that The Literates has "the look and feel of a real comic" in Quill & Quire is pretty exciting for me.
