Eclectic Comics

Since school has started, it has been TOUGH to find time to make comics! Finally got a three-pager done today. Without the intro panels of the Mystic Yak, it will appear in a future issue of a kid's magazine. I add those panels for it's future inclusion in Eclectic Comics.

Eclectic Comics #2 is in the process of being printed. It can be ordered online at

http://www.indyplanet.com/catalog/advan ... 5e&x=0&y=0

now, although no preview images are up there yet. It's going to have a color (both inside and out) cardstock cover this time.

This comic was for an anthology that was proposed but never published. The idea was to have several artists make stories that had to do with a box -- the contents of which would never be revealed.

I put it here, Flight, the Indie Spinner rack and my blog. I think that's enough places to post it -- or I won't have time to draw!

Latest story. This is for Boy's Quest, a kid's magazine, but will also be in a future issue of Eclectic. I really like how it turned out.

What I like about it is that the details are true. I obviously had to consolidate and invent dialogue, but the fires, the chicken -- all true! Edison is a person who inspired a lot of myths, but I found a book that sorted out the false. He still was an amazing person. Any teacher would probably NOT have wanted to have him in class, and he did burn down his father's barn, several places of employment and really did get blown across the room in one of his childhood experiments. And can you imagine a kid in school catching a chicken with a fishing line from the second floor?! What this story means to me is that there is potential in every child, even the ones who drive us nuts!

My latest blog post is a behind-the-scenes look at how my comics come together. Not that it's the "right" way, but it's how it works for me at this point.

I learned a lot from the Art of Usagi book, but with my busy lifestyle have had to take shortcuts to make comic making possible. So don't blame the results on the sensai!

My latest comic:

My latest drawing is an homage to Steranko. I'm as big a fan as these kinds of things as anyone, but there's certain images that are getting really over-used in this way. This is one of them, and my sketch is a statement about that more than anything.

It will be the spot art on the next Mighty Mailbag -- the letters page for Eclectic Comics.

Cover design for issue 3. The ink drawing is done. I'm trying to color it with Photoshop, but thought I would make a color sketch in marker first.

Very cool, it reminds me of some of the old Doctor Strange covers.

Hello Andy,

Great issue #2. I liked the cardstock cover. Keep up the drawings.
