Oh Yeah...

...an update on the Illustration Academy piece.

Using...NIBS??!

I was recently informed about a nib that would possibly convert me from brushes, or at least use something else besides them for my ink work. I was skeptical about it, since I've had some iffy experiences with nibs in my undergrad work. But sure enough, after giving the Mitchell Gillott #303 test run, I've come to this conclusion:

This thing owns harder than any tool that I used for ink thus far.

I'll be looking do some fresh stuff with ink in the near future, but in the meantime, here's some doodles I did at work with the nib and my dirty, inky fingers.

Illustration Academy Hopeful

This piece (still in progress) is slated to be my entry in a contest to win a scholarship to next year's Illustration Academy. It's a bit of a departure from my usual working methods. I've still got some noodling to do, so I'll be posting the finished piece, along with some more "Monster City" comics a bit later.

Even More Monsters

These were a bit overdue, but I finally got around to them.

PLOP Teaser

This is from the first issue of "PLOP", slated for release sometime this summer. It's a self-published comic zine that'll feature work from Gino Barzizza, John Lee, Alex "Warble" Harrison, and myself.

More Monsters

Monster City Residents

These were a lot of fun to draw, and I couldn't have done it without the help of a handful of awesome volunteers. I hope that more people offer their likenesses. I want a village of these guys.

Coming Soon...

This was done as a special request :)
