Issue #5 Cover

It's late, I'm ready for bed. Here are the pencil and inks for the cover art of issue #5. Enjoy!

Planet Comicon 2013!

The table info is in and the map has been released. Make sure to stop by my table. I'll be under the Flying Fortress banner this year. It's the one with the giant B-17 falling out of the sky, you can't miss it. (also it's pictured to the left). I'll have tons of stuff for sale this year. New books and prints. I'll also have a ton of original art for sale both Flying Fortress pages and random sketches and drawings from the year.

Along with Flying Fortress, I'll be unveiling my new book "Thumbson and Mort" I recently had a tiny successful Kickstarter and was able to get my 24 hour comic from 2012 printed into a full sized comic book, complete with fan art and sketches. It's the first in a new side project that will have it's HQ at www.ThubmsonAndMort.com All sales made go to making sure these two fools get a good home with some proper hosting.

I'll also have books by the co-creator of Flying Fortress, Mr. Andy Moore. He's just printed a 15 year anthology of his comic strip Don't Panic and he'll have that at the table for all to enjoy. It's over 200 pages of full unadulterated madness. I urge you to check that book out too!

Hey look at that, I was able to write more than once sentence... I think this deserves a little celebration. Not sure how, but for now I'll just eat a little more Easter candy.

Back on the Horse

Just picking up where I left off a few weeks ago. I've been juggling two and a half projects. At sometimes, three... sometimes. It's the only way I want it from now on, I think. Anyways, It's 0330 and I should get some snoozin' in.

When Bears attack

It's slow going but issue #5 is well underway. What you are seeing here is a four page preview from the issue which is currently on hiatus. We've turned out attention to an 8 page mini telling some of what happens to Bell directly after the events at the start of issue #4. The first page from that preview can be seen here. So without further ado...

Hope you enjoy!

We Have Liftoff.

Boy these plane analogies come easy when referring to a comic based around planes, don't they? I'm sure I'll run out of them sooner or later. For now, though, the puns stay. What you see below you is the finished pencils of page 1 for the upcoming issue of said comic. Flying Fortress production, after months of time in the hanger, is finally in the air again. This particular beauty clocked in around 10 hours. Those hours were split over three different evenings thanks to my day job of making sure my 2 year old son gets proper rearing.

I must say. I'm really, REALLY freaking happy with how this page turned out. I spent several weeks prior to this really doing the basics. Exercises and fundamentals. It was boring as all hell, but it sure helped. I'm miles away from my destination but this makes it feel a whole lot closer. Look out world, I just stepped my game up!

OK, True believers, it's time to hit the drawing board some more. Enjoy your stay, but be sure to lock-up when you leave.
