NORTH 40 process on Comic Monsters

Comicmonsters.com asked for a little run-down of my process, so you can see it here. Thumbnails to finished page, and also some concept sketches I did in like 2007 for the original NORTH 40 pitch.

If you pick up the series, you may notice that the old Sheriff gradually becomes more handsome as I work my way through Aaron's awesome scripts and become increasingly impressed by all the cool shit the Sheriff does.

Drink & Draw catch up

What do all these things have in common? I've never had to draw any of them for an actual job. Okay, I get paid to draw robots all the time, but they're always huge ones and almost never shaped like bells, cats, or Reggie's little cousin that he dressed up in paper cones to play a prank on Archie.

TEENS:



The only life drawing I've done in a very long time...



PS: Calgary Herald subscribers, I illustrated the cover story for this Friday's Swerve magazine. Look out for it! It's free!

Sketches

I should fill up sketchbooks faster than I do, but it takes forever! I draw too small.
