Hey! There's a Comic with my Name in it!
A Devil's Due comic book called Ninjatown: The Adventures of Wee Ninja: Volume 1 just came out last week. I finally obtained a copy yesterday. I'm told Graham Crackers Comics has been selling out of them.
It features stories and art by the wolrd famous dynamic duo Franco Aureliani and Art Baltazar. There is also art (cover too!) by Bill Halliar. Then there's a ten pager by yours truly in the middle.
Check it out, won't you?

2008-08-27T09:29:00.001-05:00

We’re Gettin’ the Band Back Together!

After a long hiatus, I believe it is time to revive our once a month sketchbook night.
So, first we need to decide on a central location (with good seating, lighting, food and booze) in the Chicago area since everyone is spread out. All suggestions are welcome, so let's hear your thoughts.
We also need to think of a name!

Back from Con!
Holy buckets, what a weekend! Big thanks to all who stopped by our little table. Even bigger thanks to those of you who gave me money! Bwah!
Also, thanks to the Disney people for the swell party; Mr. Tennapel for hanging out with us at said party; DC for taking the time to meet with me; both Ape and Boom! for probably wanting me to draw stuff for them; and all the awesome people we met and hung out with!

For those of you who didn't come and were interested in picking up a copy of "Peeking Duck", I will be setting up a little store for it soon. It'll be $15 (US only at the moment) and I'll do a sketch in it for you.
Since I sold out of so many and since I had many people ask about it, I will eventually set up a store for prints as well.
If anyone's really interested, I have the last 2 copies of my first skethcbook, "Gorilla Salad" left (EVER!). That's $10; drop me a line if you wants one.

Wizard World Chicago

I got a last minute table at Wizard World Chicago (June 26th - 29th) that I will be sharing with Bill Halliar and Melly Curphy (Miss Monster).

Artist's Alley table 5806.

I doubt my new book "Peeking Duck" will be back from the printer on time. Maybe I can set up pre-orders or something. But I will have new prints, buttons and the few remaining copies of "Gorilla Salad".

Tiki Update & Comics News

First, here's a quick update on the Tiki piece I've been working on between everything else and trying to assemble the "Peeking Duck" sketchbook in time for con.

In just a couple weeks (June 8th??) Devil's Due will be publishing a book called Ninja Town featuring Wee Ninjas.

I did vector cleanup over the layouts of a 10 page story by the Energizer bunny known as Art Baltazar http://www.artbaltazar.com/.

Also joining the fray for a couple Baltazarian tales is the oval seat warmer known as Bill Halliar http://www.roughbeasts.com/.

March of Dimes Final Update
A very sincere thank you to all of you who supported us and the March of Dimes March for Babies. We are humbled by the outpouring of love and generosity. Throughout our experience in the NICU we relied on so many of you for support and sometimes just a diversion, and we are so grateful that you are still thinking of our little ones. It was wonderful to be able to give back to an organization that has provided so much research and medical advances for premature babies. In total we raised $910!
Thanks again!-Bob

2008-04-11T15:27:00.001-05:00

March of Dimes UPDATE
Well, in less than two weeks we not only managed to meet our goal of $500, but exceed it by over $200! Big thanks to all who have contributed so far!

2008-03-30T22:27:00.001-05:00

On Sunday April 27th, my wife will be walking for the March of Dimes in memory of our triplets Zach, Alex and Marianna. Her goal for the 6.2 mile walk is $500. Every little bit helps and anything you could give would be most appreciated.

Not to mention prepare for con season and hopefully assemble a new sketchbook.

I did use a photo reference so I feel she's a little stiff. I think I might want to go back and take another whack at it for a more cartoony feel.

Anyway, I uploaded a couple old pencil tests to it.
Some other files aren't cooperating with me just yet.
First, here's a rough pecil test I did for the 10 Second Club (now the 11 Second Club) a few years back. It was the first time I tried using Flash as a pencil tester for traditional animation.
Audio is from Animaniacs.

Next is a pencil test done directly in Flash with a Wacom featuring Bill Halliar's Evilman with dialouge from Army of Darkness.

Hawaiian Punk Revisited

Due to the overwhelming response I received from my takes on popular food characters at Wizard World Chicago; I'm dusting off an old sketch to finally ink and color it.

It seems in this day and age you can't just haul off and sock somebody who desires "A nice Hawaiian Punch!".

Next on the deck in this series will be finishing the Twinkie the Kid sketch I did a while ago.

Also, since there was so much demand for one, I'll have to do my take on Count Chocula eventually.

Summer Events!

San Diego Comic Con
July 25th - 29th.
I don't have a table this year since it's a very last minute thing. Unless some generous soul takes pity on me and offers up a spare 6 inches to sell my wares, that'd be mighty swell of ya!
Otherwise, I'll be trying to reconnect with people I met last year since I had to put everything on hold due to recent events.

Wizard World Chicago
August 9th - 12th.
I'm going to have a table in Artist's Alley with the legendary Bill Halliar selling sketchbooks and prints.

Hope to see everyone there(s)!
Be sure to buy plenty of thing from me and plenty of beers for me!

2007-04-25T16:02:00.000-05:00

Acting!

I was inspired by a recent post on John K's blog regarding realistic and cartoon acting:

all kinds of stuff: Acting 5 - Ren and Stimpy "realistic" sitcom acting#links#links

To illustrate his point, he posted several screencaps of a scene from the Honeymooners.

I thought it would be an interesting excercise to sketch out this interaction with two of my characters in Ralph and Norton's place.

I know they aren't necessarily on model or to scale, but that wasn't the point. It was to get a more expressive and subtle performance out my characters that I may not have done before.

There are some I like better than others and I can see where I could have added more but it was still a fun little excercise to do. Go ahead and give it a try!

Welcome to San Diego
When we arrived on Wednesday (preview night) of the con, we stopped by the Tin Fish across from the convention center for a bit of lunch. For our dining pleasure, we were treated to the site of a 5'2", D-E cupped, 60+ year old hooker "refreshing" herself over the intermittent fountains in front of the restaurant. Further proving to you youngsters out there that you should never drink water from a public fountain. I did this with a brush pen, but a more accurate representation could be achieved by making a sculpture comprised of Slim Jims.

and Hong Kong Phooey!

A Group Sketchbook Too?

Well with about six months of prep time, we managed to assemble a group sketchbook for the San Diego Comic Con in about 2 days! The good folks at RapidPod quickly assembled it and it is en route as we speak! This will be exclusive to the San Diego Comic Con next week, a supplies are limited.
The book: An InCONvienient Booth -or- How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Con (see if you can find the secret 3rd title on the book!) features art by Tom Bryski, Joe Feliciano, Bill Halliar, Melly Curphy, Felipe Smith (also his cover) and myself.

Come by table E-6 and get some! It's the table with about 43 artists crammed behind an eight foot table (we were screwed out of our second table).
Don't forget to pick up a copy or three of Gorilla Salad (see below) and I'll have some prints available as well.

And it looks awesome!!
The actual sketchbook will be softcover and if all goes well it will be here in a few short days.
If we ever get approved for our table at the San Diego Comic Con it will be available there as well as some nifty prints n' stuff.
For those who can't attend or if we get screwed out of our table the books will hopefully be available for sale online as soon as next week! Aren't you lucky?
