Frown Town Moquettes

Most of the Sculpey moquettes for the puppet heads (Trey seems to have wandered off somewhere) with the early James prototype for scale.

Three spot illustrations for a short horror story in Ashcan Magazine.

Website Redesign & Doppelganger

The Doppelganger's done and located here on my completely redone website. Saunter over to the miscellany page, or check out the new layout for the comics section. I'm going to be fixing up the look of the the misc subsections in the coming weeks, I've got a few ideas for improving their look and navigation (and scanning more Grandville illustrations and stamp collections!).

Frown Town head guides

The Doppelganger comic is essentially done, but for a few continuity corrections. I'll post it here soon, along with a much needed website reorder and revamp. In the mean time, below are some of the cut out guides for the puppet heads, all of them with and without hair and accessories. These are based on a series of sculpey moquettes I've been making the last couple of months from the original concept sketches. I don't have a nice camera or a competent photographer handy (I'm about as far as you can get), so I'll post a picture later.

The King of the Cats

King of the Cats

Taking a quick break from Doppelganger drudgery to do a 3-4 page comic based on a ghost story my old housemate David told me. This is the first, unshaded and only partially backgrounded page.

Judy Swinehopper

First sketch.

Geer and Orly

New sketches.

A Drifting Life Review

I have a review of Yoshihiro Tatsumi's A Drifting Life in the newest Boldtype.

Bullies

Concept art for the bullies from the puppet show. The two on the right are reworked versions of the earlier sketch.

New Doppelganger Preview

I'm in the final lap for Doppelganger and I've been playing around with some new shading methods. Below is a group of five pages (pgs. 1, 11, 13, 20 & 21) previewing the new style. Pretty soon I'll be able to post an actual ETA for this thing to finally be done.
