Here’s another page of blueline art for the Sleep Deprivation Ninja  story.  And yes, that’s a Hokusai wave, because the best things in life  are stolen.

And here’s the final page of art, after I’ve had a chance to color it in Photoshop. I’ll have links to the entire webcomic once Adam posts it.

Coming Attractions.

First, if you’ve been following Jenna MacKrell’s webcomic Exemplars (with art by yours truly) you know that it’s about to wrap up its first story arc this Tuesday. I recently finished the art for the second story arc, which will debut in January. (Teaser featured above)

Also, I generally don’t use this blog as promotional device for work that isn’t my own, but my good pal Gina Siciliano has recently self-published her first graphic novella Summertime (two years in the making) and since she doesn’t have much of a web presence, I feel obliged to plug it a little here. You can get a copy of Summertime at Comic Stop University District in Seattle for $15, and I think Ms. Siciliano has some kind of release party in the works. Stay tuned.

Happy holidays, and all the best.

Summer’s Ghost

Like many people, I was saddened to hear about the passing of Toff back in March. Toff was the campus cat at my alma matter, and the news of his death prompted me to do this short comic. Larger scans of the pages can be found on my Flickr portfolio.
