This Road soundtrack

"I know the Ghost who roams these halls, I saw him yesterday. I think it's time to let him know, that his soul's been saved."

In Stores Now!!


My good buddy Art Baltazar has a new graphic novel out now called "The Big Amoeba" and yours truly makes a cameo! Pick it up, read it, love it and look for me in the back (I'm wearing a yellow shirt). I won the Big Amoeba award for best inker with a Sharpie and best short story (Magic Pants) drawn with a Sharpie. I'll post some pics of the awards later....gotta go find 'em....

It's killing me!!!

I want to share these new pages with you all.....but I will not!! I told Joey yesterday that he will have a 16 page mini-comic to sell on CCNET in a couple of weeks! I'm using a 4 panel grid and the dialogue is a lot smoother than MTS. The Sunshine Follows Rain is a chapter from the long over due This Is How We Met. Blindwolf Studios is going to be releasing a Nobody Likes Tony Pony collection through Diamond very soon and speaking of Art and Franco? Can you say SUPERSTARS!!! Rumor has it the dynamic duo signed at the DC comics booth this weekend and peeps were lined up to get an autograph from the Tiny Titan scribers!!! You go, guys!! Tiny Titans is the awesome!! Also, be on the look out for "Ninjatown" from Devil's Due!!!

TSFR


I've written and drawn around 16 pages of "sunshine". I think the pacing is sharp and it introduces the conflict well....I have however decided NOT to post it online. I will be making limited edition mini-comics soon. I think this will tie in nicely to TIHWM. Look for new strips next week!

Progress


This project or rather the way I am drawing this project was inspired by Jeffrey Brown and his "sketchbook" comics. I travel so much now and this is a really neat way to keep up with a story without having to sit down at a drawing table and fumble through big ole sheets of paper.

I started this project after submitting the daily strips to a publisher who said they liked the characters but wanted to see them interact in a longer story rather than a gag a day trickle effect....a good strip takes years to develop!

I am moving along at a rather rapid pace and that's always a concern because I don't want to rush into a conflict and then rush into a resolve.

This story will reveal a lot about the characters that some of you already know a little bit about. Parts of this tale could easily spin into the long overdue "I wonder if Jamie will ever finish This Is How We Met."

I am speeding along and should have 5 more pages up this weekend.
Sorry the pics are crooked...I will try and fix that :)

The Sunshine Follows Rain

I'm 2 pages into a longer short story :) featuring the characters from Ultra Office Furniture. I will not post anything until I have at least 5 pages or more....so possibly this weekend? I also have a title for the next collection...."Let Go Of My Jonquils!" What do ya think? I also hope to have a new Youtube video to post soon....

Tweakin'


Tweakin' the characters a bit and fooling around with landscape.....don't know if it will stick, but I kinda like the squishy "King Aroo" feel of the characters....

Toys


Rumor has it that someone is working on a protoype for the first Nobody Likes Tony Pony toy.....photos forthcoming?

**Update** Observational humor. I wonder if people get that this strip is "character driven" and somewhat based on specific events/conversations that may or may not have taken place in real life? Inspired by real life. Caricatures of very real and unique personalities that always help me write this strip. Writing is listening and the rhythm of a good comic strip is like the rhythm of a good poem. This is a work in progress. No, I have not seen the movie "Superbad", but ridiculous comments will always be deleted. So try reading your comments "out loud" before posting them on this blog.....if doesn't make any sense - it's gone.
