swirly

doing all this brush slop reminded me of playing with my food when i was younger- making swirls in the ketchup. it was half a stalling technique, but i was also drawing in it, getting the swirls to look like tunnels.

Yo Gabba Gabba: Comic Book Time!

Yo Gabba Gabba: Comic Book Time comes out today. I had the honor of coloring a couple of the stories in the book. "It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up."

big thanks to Jason Aaron for the kind and kinda gory quote.

hi school

the girl top right did have that subtle lop-sided Shannen Doherty eye thing happening, it's no accident. and i have that Forest Whitaker thing happening, so im not clowning neither. anyways. these are dry-runs from a bit ago, getting into the mode for a chunk of high-school pages in Loose Ends- doing that issues' cover now and remembered. id worked in the likeness range before (very much strugglin), but hoped to level up and edge into caricature. J Scott Campbell linked to this (below) Mort Drucker essay which flipped a switch, the bit about exaggerating spaces between features instead of the features themselves- when i can hold that in the frontal lobe it helps. fookin 'ell, lookit this guy draw.
