The Sketches From 20,000 Fathoms, or Sinbad And The Eye Of The Sketch Cards.




In amongst the myriad of Sketch card sets I did for Strictly Ink about a year ago, all very low numbers, was one of my favorites to work on; The Ray Harryhausen Collection. Now those sketches are being released by Strictly Ink but not in a Harryhausen set like I was hoping. They are being released in the Strictly Yearset 2008 Edition along with a few lingering sketches from my 2000 AD cards and a few Hammer Horror sketches. I don't know the details of why the set couldn't get released but at least the sketches have been made available for the fans to get. Here at my ComicSpace Page, I've posted all 22 cards. Enjoy.

Studio Journal Entry #3: Somewhere To Put My $#!T.



     I have a very happy studio right now. After a very long backorder and wait, my new filing system is in and working it's magik mojo.  It started with a trip to Sears with a mission in mind and a tape measure in hand and now I have very little in the way of "piles of crap" to step over. 
  Yes thats a Craftsman tool chest with all my frequently used art supplies and all my pads ands paper. Who needs to spend gads of cash on specialty flat files, when for half the price and twice the coolness, you can roll one of these babies around your office. 
  Due to the size of comic pages, I really wanted this specific one because of it's dimensions. Now I've got a nice safe place to store all my originals with easy access to everything I need.    

Highly recommended.

Well that was too long between posts. Holidays and all that work stuff, blah blah blah.
