Stuff...

When there's this much of it, I don't know what to title the post.
First, a new comic!


Then, approximately one million sketches.
These are from church and Cub scout day camp.
More sketches from church, in my fancy new Fabriano sketchbook with tone paper...even though I haven't gotten around to capitalizing on the coolness of the paper yet. I wanna do some washes with white highlights, but we'll see when I get to that.
Here's the last stuff from the most recent sketchbook I killed.
And some sketches from Comic-con and Sea World (which I had never been to before). We (not just I...since I was part of a larger group) got to meet basically all of my favorite artists from Disney and Pixar (except Enrico...but that'll have to wait till APE, I guess). Also among the comics/animation industry people we got to meet were Powerpuff Girls and Foster's creator, Craig McCracken and Understanding Comics' Scott McCloud--radical!! In additional news, our comic, Peep Show, was really well received by all the people we traded with (and, lucky you, it's still available for purchase in the sidebar of this very blog). Scott Morse and Paul Briggs even traded their totally rad sketchbooks! Thanks, you guys!
As if there weren't enough going on, Jake and I started playing an eye-spy sketching game. Basically, you pick a person out of the crowd and then make up a story about them. Here are some of the results of our game.


Then, while I was on the plane, I was pretty excited about the game so I played all by my lonesome--it was still pretty fun, though!

The Cover(s)!!

So, as you may have heard from Jake, our book is officially finished!
It's at press right now (as you read--cool, huh?), and should be ready in under a week. We're pretty thrilled.
At the risk of being totally redundant, I will shamelessly promote our book here, too. It's called PEEP SHOW (not because of the cabaret scenes in the comics--of which there are none), but because it is a comic sampler, with two--count 'em--two comics!
We're taking the books to International Comic-Con in San Diego in a couple of weeks, where we're selling them out of our backpacks, since the con didn't want to give us a booth...which is actually lucky for us, because now we can wander about all we want! Hah ha hah haaa!
Anyhow, like Jake said, the books are gonna disappear quickly, so if you want to buy one email me (deliciouschocolatepudding@yahoo.com) or jake (jakeness@gmail.com) post haste, so we can reserve you a copy.
Without further ado...the cover(s):


We stole the idea from Enrico Casarosa and Ronnie Del Carmen, who printed a cool sketchbook like this, where there are two "front sides" (and no "backsides" to the book...which, come to think of it, is weird for a book called Peep Show).
