Ramblings and webcomics from LeEMS
This is going to be an awesome comic – that is, if it comes out the way it is in my head.
I’ve had this open on my computer for weeks now. I’d work on it whenever I couldn’t think of anything else to do or was actively trying to avoid doing something else now. I think I’m done with it now.
Yo. So, I entered the Giraffes?Giraffes! t-shirt contest. I didn’t win, but I thought you might be interested in the design none-the-less. Here tis:
I’ve got the line-up, and believe you me it was not very easy getting all this laid out. Before I could come up with such a simple list I had to do some major studying up on my history. If you’ve been following along with any of my other project posts then you may have noticed that the original title ’22 Lives of Marcus Trapp’ has been changed to 25 lives. I started with #1, actually I started with #2, and ended up with more lives then planned for. 25 rhymes with lives, so it still sounds good.
Is this enough of a teaser? Do you wonder what I’m going to do with all this?
In an epic battle in the middle of some desert the gods were fighting. All manner of mythical beast fought each other and this lady here was one of the grandest – and the biggest. She was like the battling ram for the good guys (and yeah, she kinda looks like someone I know – that’s how dreams work, right?).
So she charged in and made it over the walls to the enemy fortress but is taken down by the bad king’s bow and arrow, which look more like a harpoon gun.
And then, from her inert form spring twin angels with bows and arrows. Their mind is one mind and, speaking without saying anything, they shoot the king. And, I wake up.
Well I succeeded in drawing out a mini-15 page story about a memory I have of going to Weeki Wachee water park as a kid. I am fairly certain they couldn’t get away with a rope swing into the river any more. I think the days of condoned childhood danger are over. And that makes no sense to you because you haven’t seen the story yet! Don’t worry. I am going to load it up and run it from my Comic page. Look back for it next week – I want to give some time to get the finished product in the mail for those that requested it.
The cover for my min-comic. I am assembling as I type. Well…not really, I can’t assemble and type at the same time. But, I’ll be assembling as soon as I stop typing and I was doing some assembling before I began typing. Yes.
Need a sandwich.
And after a hard morning of chores I am GO!
I can’t really explain it. I must have been feeling my inner my little pony.
The Sketchbook Project 2013 is the most fabulous thing I have read about all year, maybe longer. A library in Brooklyn has a collection of artists sketchbooks. You can buy one of their specially made sketchbooks, fill it up, and they will keep it and tend it in true library tradition. It may even go on a gallery trip across the country. I finally have a terrible and driving reason to go to New York. I must see the sketchbooks. An article in the New York Times talks a little more about it.
