It looked interesting and after clicking through a few pages I started from the beginning and then I couldn’t stop. I couldn’t stop watching Stupid Snake – Wordless Graphic Novel. It is a lovely web comic.

This is pure excellence.
Nightmare 1 – 24 hour comics day
My first page for 24 hour comics day is done and my comic, Nightmare, is posting in the Drawing Board.
Check back during the day for the rest of the comic as it comes out of my head.
24 hour comics day is coming!
24 hour comics day is coming! I need to come up with an idea – though, of course, nothing more than an idea. The challenge is to plan, draw, and finish a 24 page comic in 24 hours. There can be no story written, no layouts sketched, nothing until the big day. How it’s finished is up to the artist. I did my usual last year (pencil sketches inked with a grey pallet). I’m trying to decide if I’m up for that this year. I can still remember how my shoulder felt afterwards. Why must I mouse and draw with the same hand?
Since I’m doing the challenge from home I will be posting updates and comic pages as I go this Saturday. Thank goodness I finally have a correct installation of webcomic (is, by the by, a fabulous comic displaying wordpress plugin, with which my recent trials were probably all my fault).
Unsolved Mysteries comic
Emmi Gennis has been previewing the mysterious stories that will be featured in the Hic & Hoc unsolved mysteries anthology. There are some fantastic and promising pages for this book – I’m looking forward to getting my hands on it.
I suppose I’m kind of dissapointed too, since Graham Kahler’s submission means I missed the boat again. But you know what that means! You get to read the thing here, yes you do. So keep your eyes peeled forThe Lighthousemen of Eilean Mor. I’ll give you a heads up too – when it’s posting.
Meanwhile, click on the pic to see Emmi Gennis’ blog and check out the other cool comic artists included in the upcoming anthology.
Sigh
I upgraded my webcomic installation and it stalled (perhaps because of the network I’m on or what else I was doing at the time). So now, all the links to my comics are 404s. All the pages are still there in my site, so I’ll get this settled sometime soon.
Guess it’s good that I was ending stuff up. All the new comics will be fresh starts….and thinking of that. I created a networked wordpress to test some work stuff. Now that I have it, I could give some of my comics their own blogs – you know, instead of having them running in the back of my blog and showing up mixed in the rss feed. I dunno. Is this a good idea? I have a couple of stories that I know are going to continue and grow…
Stuff to think on.
Broken pages.
Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong
I’ve talked about Faith Erin Hicks before when I raved over her comic Friends with Boys. She’s got a new one online now as a collaboration with Prudence Shen, author of Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong. You can read the webcomic as it airs by going to Page 001 | Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong.
I am crazy excited about this. And, and, and,
LeEMS Hundredth series
Hey, have ya heard about Jason Turner’s Page 100 Project, where in he, and other comic artists, illustrated page 100 of whatever book they liked/were reading? Sounds like something I’d like huh? So I did it too. Only my reading either wasn’t a story – like Mark Twain’s Christian Science, or it was junk food. I’ll keep these up as I go…..The Hundredth page 001.
Coming soon
Inktober is coming.
Flip Side is ending.
Levi Levi chapter one is ending.
Levi Levi and the Time Machine is coming.
24 hour comics day is coming.
Yes!
Are you ready for Inktober?
Inktober is coming – a month long celebration of artists drawing in ink. I’ve happily watched through a couple years of Jake Parker’s Inktobers and seen other artists I follow fall in line with brush and pen. This will be the first year I give it a try. No pencils, no erasers, just ink on paper, a drawing a day, all October long. Even on 24 hour comics Day October 20th. So keep your fingers crossed for me and check back. Check back everyday. 🙂
New comic on the Drawing Board
It must be all those Halloween decoration stores going up around town. The Drawing Board is Thinking of Halloween | The LeEMS Bean.
Fairy tale comic coming soon
I have been officially silently unaccepted for the fairytale anthology. Maybe it was because I tried computer aided lettering for the first time, but I’m only guessing. But good for ya’ll ’cause now I’ll post the thing here. Starting with the art I submitted for the anthology cover.
Flip Side comic update
New Comic on the Bean
Mystery
Hey you. So, I submitted to another anthology, keep your fingers crossed for me. The call is still open too for the Unsolved Mysteries Anthology – comics about non-fiction disappearances and unexplained phenomena. I drew mine up on the Vanished Lighthousemen of Eilean Mor (fabulous article by Mike Dash). I found some crazy theory about the disappearances, like murder-suicide, viking ghosts, and aliens – but it’s the details and lack there of that inspired the theories in the first place, right? So my little story is all about the facts.
