Creating a Graphic Novel : Art – Food – Photography

Similar to Page 2, I was envisioning a similar layout especially for a webcomic. However if this was for print, I would do a mirror image (with the long panel on the right side) so when you opened Page 2 and 3, it would look reversed. In terms of story writing, I actively wanted to [...]

The second page of the collaboration with Sean Harrington. The page Sean did is absolutely perfect! (Hopefully my instructions made sense.) I was thinking of the best way to construct the page, to make it easiest to understand this was a “flashback” and still ground it in the conversation between Lana and the chief in [...]

I approached previous featured artist Sean Harrington with a pitch for his webcomic Spying with Lana. My basic storyline is our heroine, Lana is being stalked by a mysterious brunette. Over the next few weeks, there will be additional pages added as the story unfolds. Each page will include a full script breakdown so you [...]

Like the Emergency Zombie Kit, I couldn’t resist posting this photo up from the LOLDOG website. The second photo is especially cute as the Labrador and the cheetah seem to be having a meaningful conversation. [Don't worry comic artwork fans, this site will be returning to showcase new featured artists in the next post!]

Someone went to Supanova (Sydney pop culture expo) and got me this amazing signed photo from Summer Glau (Terminator – Sarah Connor Chronicles). Need to get this framed and find a place for it on my wall! As much as I loved Summer in Terminator, her cameo as herself on The Big Bang Theory was [...]

It’s been a great day in the mailbox for me, first Frankie’s amazing present to my Threadless T-Shirts! I love the fantastic envelope it comes in. The below are photos of the actual shirts themselves so excuse any wrinkles. The ET Phone Home design is especially cute, so if you see someone wearing one of [...]

I mentioned it briefly at the end of Frank Kadar’s Supergirl post but I’m still playing with my new iPhone! It’s extremely nifty combining a lot of functionality into such a small device. It’ll be back to regular artist interviews and showcases next week. I couldn’t resist showing off my new toy for the moment! [...]

Merry Christmas Y’all. Upcoming featured artist Pasquale Qualano is sharing a special Christmas showcase. (Pasquale’s interview will be up early 2010 so keep watching this space.) Wishing all readers a very happy and safe festive season.

It was a very low key Christmas (no big parties) but still spending time with a family. I’m actually more [...]
