Magnus Menthu: Revised Edition

August 23rd, 2010

I finished revising my first major graphic novel, Magnus Menthu and the Shadows of Chicago, and am now looking to do a limited print run.  There is revised art, new pages and extended scenes so if you can tell what the heck is going on.  It still needs a cover.

Download it at http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8BXLH2ZG!  It won’t be up forever!

New Drawings

August 22nd, 2010

Here are some new drawings.  I’m trying to use more black.  I’m trying to draw a lot more.  Let me know if you’d like to pay me to draw you anything; it’d be great because then I could eat.

My good friend Robin Ferris-Hanson is a very talented musician and songwriter.  I was very flattered to be asked to record flute on a new song of his yesterday, which is available at his blog!

He’s wonderfully talented, I think the track came out well, and he puts up new music every Friday, so check it out regularly for cool new music!

A Quick Note About Sam, Explo’s Rockin’ Comic Guy

July 27th, 2010

Here is a nice bio written by a ten-year-old girl at the summer camp I work at:

Imagine a world of comics and lots of things created from thought.  Well, that’s how Sam Tung sees it, the comic guy, Explo’s hero.  Is it not interesting to imagine being able to see something one minute and have it show up on a piece of paper the next?  That is how Sam Tung is.  But Sam Tung does not have to imagine.  He can just do it on a piece of paper.

After Sam Tung studied comics in his college, he went to Los Angeles to find a job for comics so his work could be seen by many people.  In his eyes, comics seem to be moving across the paper filled with ink of many colors.  Sam brings lots of his great designs to Explo’s campus when needed.  He also performed at the staff talent show as Explo’s own amazing hero artist.  There are many interesting facts about Sam, so if you would like to know more, just ask him!
