Aarron Bros 1 cent sale starts Dec 26th
I got an ad in the mail today from Aarron Bros plugging that they are starting their ususal buy-one-frame-get-the-next-one-for-1-cent sale the day after Christmas. They are extending the same deal to canvases as well. AB jacks up the prices on their frames pretty high to begin with, but still it's worth checking out if you have some stuff to frame. It's the canvas deal that is making me think it's worth a trip. I assume it's happening at most of their stores.
As a side note, one part of the ad says "buy/get any artist for a penny stock up and save!" It looks like it meant to say Artist Canvas... some kind of typo... or they are selling artists, too. If so, I wonder how they determine the "equal or lesser value" of one artist over another.

Rubinstein's Gun Nose Roughs ...
I wanted to post something pre holidays. So I thought of Joe Rubinstein. He has finished rough pencils for his three page story in "Gun Nose Presents" and has embarked on turning them into finished pencils prior to inking 'em up. I thought I'd share the work at this stage 'cuz it's interesting to see such. The essence of TAG ... ;-) Joe Staton is working on his three-page segment, too, and I'm gathering visual concepts for my four-pager.
Happy holidays everyone!!

In light of what Ellis is doing with Gun Nose and letter forms ...
In light of what Ellis is doing with Gun Nose and letter forms ... here is my new favorite video. I've always loved Mousse T. and Emma Lanford, but hadn't seen this video until this a.m. Thought I'd share it ... Very fun!!
Comics Day!
I did two guest spot comics for my pal Ricky Garduno on his site Dumm Comics! One is on the site, and the other is on my blog!
Here are the links:
Comic One!
Comic Two!
Here is my rough for the first comic. I did something a little backwards this time, roughed it out on the computer in Photoshop, then printed it out and inked it on another piece of paper using a light table. Crazy, no?
The only big difference is I cut out the last line by Ricky's request. He's right, works better that way.

A New Instructional Video for Red Dead Redemption.
A first from Rockstar, but not the last. They're actually educating the buying public and the sales channel about what kind of game Red Dead Redemption is. Enjoy, especially you, Mr. Buncake ... ;-)

Glen Orbik click for website
I've linked the title to Glen Orbik's main website. I've taken quick sketch with the man and he is a modern master.
He learned from Fred Fixler, taking over his classes at the place I went to,
http://www.calartinst.com/
Fixler learned from Frank Reilly. So what is taught could be called the Reilly method.
Jeff Watts, Marty Davis, Jeff Wand, Jeremy Lipking, Tony Pro lots of really good artists have benefited from this course of study.
Anyway, check out his amazing work.
I fixed the broke link issue. Definitely surf around on the site
The Work Has Just Begun ... But It Feels Nice!!
Title takes you to the Publisher's site.
The deal is pretty much done. Contracts are in the mail for signing and returning. Square One Publishers are going to publish "Batter! Broil!! Baste!!! The Comic Book Creators Cookbook" and I'm pretty excited about it. All of you creators who have provided recipes will now be contacted and we'll begin crafting what will be on your page or pages and what it/they will look like. The finish date is April 15th and it looks like the books will be on the shelf by the time Comic Con 2010 hits. Woo hoo ... Just thought y'all should know.

Thanks to you all for the invite.
Thanks to you all for inviting me to TAG. And thanks to Tom Carroll for getting me set up. I'll post some more images in the coming days and weeks. Here's a little diddy I penciled and inked (and lettered) myself. Though I've been an inker/embellisher for fifteen years, I do get to pencil from time to time. And I receive work, on occasion, as a storyboard and concept artist for film as well.

Upcoming Sketch Theatre episode.
Kali put the word in for me so I could do a sketch for sketch theatre. Click title for a link.
It's not there yet. But this is the sketch I did. Can't wait to see it all sped up.
I felt some pressure and it's not as good as it could be but I'm going to make a lot of edits as I turn it into a digital painting.
The thing underneath is sketches , very loose, looking to build from accidents. Here is a demo from the Massive Black guys showing Alchemy. A software , drawing program that encourages using accidents
I'd like to invite Johnny B. Gerardy to Join TAG ...
The top pic is the first page of "Gun Nose Presents," penciled by Johnny and inked by Tony DeZuniga ... The second is a recent sample; Johnny inking a piece by Superman pencil artist Kerry Gamill.
Hope you agree to let the fella in.
