Space Scooter Girl Saves Xmas - Comic

Space Scooter Girl Saves Xmas - Comic

Ok, first a little quick background info on this. Originally this was going to be part of a little anthology book a few of us wanted to put together for Christmas ... well, best layed plans and all that jazz.

Bottom line, book didn't happen but at least I got my short story done.

The art could be cleaner, but drawing 5 x 8 inch pages in scale on crappy paper at midnight over three days, well it kinda limits the results, but over all I came out pretty good.

First image is the character designs, originally I had no idea what I was going to write or draw for my story, all I knew was I wanted something cute, sexy and "PG" enough to not put off parents at the Xmas CAM-JAM (Decembers Cartoon Art Museum's artist Jam).

Anyway I hope you'll all enjoy this silly short story.

ALLEY CATS

ALLEY CATS - Comic Book

UPDATE: A couple of unexpected outcomes from Alley Cats.

ONE : It's been far more popular among women than I thought it would be, given the characters are a "Street Walker" (to be polite) and a bit of a Con Artist Alley Cat.

I guess it proves women really like cats a lot or at least enough to over look the female character's obvious profession.

TWO : Alley Cats has gotten me a lot of praise and kind words about my artwork from people that I respect in the field of comics, many of whom have never really seen my work before.

THREE : This little book helped me come very close to winning an award, that was a surprise.

Anyway ... Here's the Cover and a page sample from my latest "Micro" AshCan Comic "Alley Cats". I call this one "Micro" as the story itself only six pages long. But don't let that fool you, for what seems on the surface a simple story I packed in a lot of underlying meanings and layers to the characters, you just have to think about it to discover them for yourself.

The stories title is ALLEY CATS "Birds of a Feather" and it's indirectly about people (or in this case a cat and a person) and how we perceive and treat each other, that we are all more alike than not and finding each other and each fore filling a need for another and receiving in kind. And like Aesop Fables there's at least one moral to the story.

Now before you think I’ve gone all “touchy-feely” in the head or something, that’s the under lying story (or one of them at least) , the story is still lovingly written and illustrated in my best tacky gritty urban cheese ball style and humor.

Why… because only I can make “trashy” adorable.

The artwork for Alley Cats was done in a traditional comic book style of ink on paper over penciled layouts using 11 x 17 Blueline Pro Comic Book Page Paper, Kurtake Brush Pen, Kamimei Drawing Ink.

A Fatal Error in Judgment

A Fatal Error in Judgment

Clearly I made a fatal error in judgment; sadly I knew it when I did it too.

As some of you know my new book "Crime, Passion and Murder" features the male lead (Mook the detective) on the cover and the female lead (The Dame) in the background.

CLEARLY this was a mistake on my part.

On DeviantArt.com for example the cover art for the book only has a hand full of "Favorites" while the promo Ad "The Dame in Jail" (second image) has dozens of "Favorites".

Not that getting "Favorites" is such a big deal but...

The same was true at WonderCon, hardly anyone looked at the book, but looked at all my other books and the same was true of book sales.

While my older books sold fairly well, while "Crime, Passion and Murder" only sold a few copies.

I find this disturbing mostly because I think "Crime, Passion and Murder" is written far better than my older books and it even was reviewed better than my older books (Read Review of Crime, Passion and Murder).

So what was the "Fatal Error"?

I clearly should have put the female character (The Dame) with large heaving undulating breast on the cover as it seems that be it male or female viewer, that's what gets the attention. ("The Dame in Jail" available in the NoCashComics Girls Postcard Set)

So from now on all my covers will be "Boobs", no faces, no titles, just huge massive silly boobs... possible dozens of them.

These facts seem so true that the ONLY book that I've EVER SOLD OUT OF (Killer Babes) didn't even have a story, just a book of sketches of women in states of undress (third image).

So while I don't like reprinting books (lack of money) I guess I don't have an option.

Meanwhile...

I've done Pre-Registration for FanimeCon in San Jose - May 28 -31.

I'm not sure when they'll let me know if I have a table or not.

Maybe I'll just park out front and sell books out of the back of my car … couple nights in jail, free meals, what the heck, right?

Hope to see you there

CRIME, PASSION and MURDER # 1

CRIME, PASSION and MURDER # 1

I must have been farting Fairy Dust or something, because in just ten days I penciled and inked (digitally) all twenty four pages of art work for my new comic book CRIME, PASSION and MURDER # 1.

Now, I'll be the first to admit there are faster artist out there, but for me this is high speed.

So, just in time for WonderCon 2010, I present to you a few sample images from CRIME, PASSION and MURDER # 1.

With Mook as the private detective and "The Dame" as the femme fatale, these two stereotypical noir characters of the past put some fun back into twisting the knife.

Follow along as the Dame gets Mook in deep in her plotting and scheming in this cheesy harebrained spoof of classic noir crime films of the 40's and 50's.

If Casablanca had this plot ... it wouldn't have won an oscar, but it would have been a funnier movie.
