It's a little later in the day than I typically prefer to
post my blog, but hey, it's still Wednesday, so I haven't broken my blog
posting stride yet!
First up, my Live Sketch Show is happening tonight at 8 pm
Eastern Time. I'm thinking of doing a Thanksgiving/Bodie Troll mash up, so be
here to see it unfold! And if you'd like
to chat with me during my show, you can reach me via Ustream's chat window. You
need to log in to Ustream to use the window, but registering is easy. It only
takes a username and an email address. Once you've entered that info, you can chat
with me while I draw. I hope to see some of you online!
Rittenhouse Archives is a sketch card company I've done work
for over the past three years, and they're close to releasing the latest Marvel
Comics-themed set that I've contributed to--MARVEL: BRONZE AGE, featuring
characters appearing in Marvel comics from the early 70's to the mid 80's.
Seeing as how they posted a sampling of my work on Facebook, I figure it's cool
if I do the same here. These characters all appeared as back up features in "Peter
Porker, The Spectacular Spider-Ham" (my favorite comic when I was a kid),
a funny animal reinvention of Marvel's superheroes. Howard the Duck, however,
appeared in the early 70's in a more adult-themed book of his own (another of
my childhood favorites).
The Dead Duck web comic is still maintaining a twice weekly
schedule (Monday and Thursday), so be sure to follow along to catch the re-printed adventures of my
afterlife creation.
Lastly, I'll leave you with a couple sample panels from
issue #1 of "Bodie Troll" (as always, click to enlarge). I'm having a lot of fun playing with depth of field, which is hopefully apparent in these panels.
Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who celebrate, and a
happy rest of your week to everyone else!
--Jay
