A Great Christmas Present

I got a great Christmas present last night from my wife, Georgene. She knitted me a stocking based on the one in the "covered" Andy Panda cover I did for our Christmas card last year. It's even complete with a hole at the bottom of it (although it's secretly patched). Now I just need the basket and a Batchelder fireplace.

Black Eye

I just got my contributor copy of Black Eye in the mail today. It's a black humor anthology that I did a 2 page story in called, How I Would Survive the Inevitable Zombie Apocalypse. Since the story is so short, I can't show too much of it, but here are a couple of panels.



The book has a great line-up of artists who contributed. You can read more about it here. You can also read about a Canadian customs agent confiscating it here.

Below are my two dogs, Idget (left) and Toaster (right). Both are notorious for eating disgusting things.

A Color Test

I've been working on a graphic novel for kids (but hopefully adults will like it too) and color was a big issue for me. My drawing tends to be pretty organic and computer coloring didn't feel quite right. That led me to painting it with water color. The danger there is getting too involved with painting and rendering every leaf on a tree. I think if I can keep it simple, it might work.
