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.

That looks like a great mix of naughty and adorable.
