I have a new cubicle in the office & its near the window. The view is fantastic! I can enjoy looking at the calming waters of Manila Bay minus the stink. I can also see the smog over Makati...

Enjoying the view from the office...

Zombies & punk rock lady! Needed a break from work & writing scripts. Females, they are hard to draw. I want to color this. Might not have time for it though. Anyway, back to work...

A (WIP) page from a new strip that is included in the updated ???#1.

The reprints of ???#1 & #2 will not be available at this Saturday's Komikon Indieket. Sleepless nights due to my wife's pregnancy contractions have been sapping all my energy for the past few weeks. As much as I love making comics, my wife & unborn-no-name-baby-boy come first. Priorities! 

2nd Printings!

Attention!

Will be reprinting issues #1 & #2 of ???, some time within the week... I hope. For ???#1, I've added some of the strips that I have been posting on this blog, plus 4 or so new pages (if I can finish them). The comic is now 7% more "random"! Here is the cover, which will be printed on colored paper. Hooray!

???#1, 2nd print

Also, fixed some things for #2. Particularly the lyrics to the Bob Dylan song. My wife is now happy!

???#2, 2nd print

The comics will be available at Josel Nicolas' table (buy his stuff!) :)

Conan! The Barbarian!

I had those over-sized, black & white Marvel comics when i was 7 or something. The only thing that I liked about those comics were the gorgeous art & the pretty ladies. Never really understood why these half naked, beautiful women were throwing themselves at this oafish looking brute...

More than 2 decades later, I find out Brian Wood (he of Northlander, DMZ, Local, Demo, Channel Zero fame) was gonna be adapting the Queen of the Black Coast story along with Becky Cloonan (Wood's Demo). I am a fan of both creators... so why not give their Conan run a shot? I did. Bought the first 5 issues & i highly enjoyed it! I'm really liking this brash, innocent (to a certain degree), young version of Conan. Got bored with the first 3 issues tho, but it was mostly a setup (Cloonan's art was fantastics!). The story started getting interesting with the new arc (with very dynamic art by James Harren, Dave Stewart does some solid coloring for all the issues).

Here's a quickie fan art ...

 

Brush pen & some water colors... no feet (because I suck at drawing 'em), generic dungeon background. :)
