Okay, just one last sample panel.

Haven't been to the comic shop in a little while - anyone reading anything good?

2009-03-11T08:52:00.002-05:00

Just finishing up the samples, having a lot of fun drawing them,

so here's one more panel just for the heck of it!

2008-12-29T17:20:00.007-06:00

ABOVE:

A few sneak page peeks from COOL (chapters 5 and 6) featured in '76... new issues coming soon...

2008-12-07T12:34:00.002-06:00

Watching a few fantastic Clint Eastwood westerns and couldn't not do a sketch...

And it makes me wonder why there aren't more people rocking the mexican ponchos?

2008-11-30T14:23:00.002-06:00

Apologies for the lack of updates as of late. Hopefully I'll be getting back into a more steady rhythm soon. For now, here's a few scanned in 'napkin sketches'. Done at work, during breaks, very quickly, using my trusty old Bic pen and some brown napkin paper.

2008-10-23T22:33:00.002-05:00

I'm hooked on the series. What can I say, Dexter just... kills me...

2008-10-18T22:25:00.002-05:00

Good Will Hunting is a great goddam movie and that's all I have to say about that.

Haven't drawn in a bit. It's scary how quickly you can get rusty if you don't keep up the sketching on a regular basis...

2008-09-28T11:58:00.003-05:00

A few rough panels from Cool Chapter 7 for you, dear viewer...

And a few fantastic reading recommendations for you, dear reader:

Scalped

The Winter Men

Fables

Punisher Max: Long Cold Dark

Wolverine: Get Mystique

Battle Hymn

B.P.R.D. Plague of Frogs

Criminal

Blacksad: Arctic Nation

The Tourist

2008-09-12T22:14:00.002-05:00

Am I the only one who thinks Jackie Brown is underrated?

2008-08-22T09:03:00.002-05:00

If you haven't seen In Bruges yet... I highly recommend that you do.

2008-08-21T07:51:00.007-05:00

Yep, you guessed it - The Dark Knight. I'm sure you've seen it by now, because who hasn't really? Aw heck, do yourself a favour and go see it again!

2008-08-17T17:34:00.004-05:00

Just a rough '76 panel peek for you today... and some blabbing.

The rough stage seems to be where I have the most fun, but can also be the most frustrating part of the process. I guess it depends on what kind of drawing day I'm having. Which I can usually file into one of these three categories...

The JIMMY Day:

A day where anything I 'jimmy' down on paper seems to work in my favour... for whatever lovely reason. I love Jimmy days like a bastard... but sadly, everyday can't be a Jimmy day.

The GILBERT Day:

'We're not going anywhere Gilbert, we're not going anywhere...' (from 'What's eating Gilbert Grape'). As you might have guessed, 'Gilbert' days are days that my drawings don't tend to go anywhere... except the trash.

The MILT Day:

I read somewhere that Milt Kahl (one of Disney's 'nine old men') would work at drawing after drawing after drawing until he got exactly what he was looking for.

It didn't matter if one frame of animation took him all day because as soon as he got what he was trying for, the rest of the work came quickly and easily.

Most of my days are Milts.

Some days can start out as Gilberts but make their way to Milts...

I like Milt days because when you finally get the drawing right, it can be like that first ray of sunshine peeking through the clouds after a rough storm.

Anywhoo, if you're out there drawing... I hope you're having one heck of a Jimmy day!

2008-07-31T11:17:00.004-05:00

Above is the first step I took (waaay back in 2003) in college towards coming up with an idea for a final 'short animated film'. I've just recently figured out how to get the dang completed video on to my computer and because I'm now a wiz with the inter-web and such, you can view it here if you'd like. It's entitled 'True Love: A Fairytale'... I hope you dig it.

2008-06-23T07:40:00.002-05:00

They've put up a good sized preview of '76 #4 (out on the 25th) over at Comic Book Resources, and you can check it out right HERE!

2008-06-10T15:35:00.002-05:00

Here's the Jackie Karma sketch inked up (forgive the crappy scan, as always). And in sorta' related news, it looks as though '76 #4 will be hitting shelves on June 25th. It's a fun issue and I hope you guys dig it!

2008-05-29T21:03:00.002-05:00

Still not sure when '76 #4 hits... hopefully soon though. For now, here's an inked panel from chapter 6.

2008-05-20T07:17:00.002-05:00

Okay... one more Hitchcock sketch. It'll be the last one for awhile... If you haven't seen any of these movies - I'd highly recommend any one of them.

2008-05-19T09:16:00.002-05:00

Yep, you guessed it, even more Hitchcock sketchin'... what can I say? I really dig these movies.

2008-05-17T16:06:00.001-05:00

Some more Hitchcock sketchin'...

2008-05-16T00:05:00.002-05:00

Quick sketch before bed, from a small reference pic. I may have an unhealthy obsession with this movie... and it's certainly a possibility that I may now be hooked on Hitchcock flicks altogether...

2008-04-24T22:59:00.004-05:00

A pencilled panel from chapter 6 of Cool. Still waiting on a date for when '76 #4 will be coming out...

2008-04-11T13:11:00.003-05:00

Okay, just some sketches today... Jackie Karma sketch pencils, a life drawing and some quick reference doodles from various movies... now it's back to the drawing board!

2008-04-08T18:21:00.002-05:00

'76 #3 should be hitting the shelves on Wednesday April 16th. Issue 4 had originally been solicited for April 16th, but obviously won't be coming out on the same day as issue 3... so I'll jimmy up a post when I hear some more. For now, here's a rough panel from chapter 6 for you to chew on... get it... chew... ahem.

2008-03-27T08:48:00.002-05:00

Couldn't sleep last night, felt like sketching up something and just recently I watched the Rambo trilogy... for the very first time... ever...
I have no excuses for never seeing Rambo before, except that I was too busy watching all the Rocky's. Forgive me John Rambo, forgive me...

2008-03-13T10:20:00.002-05:00

A rough Jackie Karma (created by B. Clay Moore and Ed Tadem) sketch I've been toying around with... hopefully it won't be too long before I can finish this one up! Speaking of '76 it looks as though the 3rd issue will be shipping a week or so late. There isn't an exact date as of yet - but I'll post it up later when I find out... so stay tuned, ya' dig?

2008-02-23T20:24:00.002-06:00

Welp, I just finished up the inks for Cool chapter 5... here's a little sneak panel peek. Chapter 3 of '76 is due out on March 19th. I'm having a great time working on this comic, and just wanted to say to those of you who've been kind enough to pick up the first couple of issues and support our little black and white, non-superhero'ish book - thanks very much:)

2008-02-10T11:27:00.000-06:00

'76#2 comes out this Wed. (Feb. 13th) and Comic Book Resources put up a little preview, so I thought I'd throw up the pages from Cool on here as well. Follow this yellow brick road for Clay and Ed's Jackie Karma previewy goodness.

2008-02-02T20:57:00.000-06:00

An inked panel from Cool chapter 5. Whatever could these two crazy cats be up to? Hmmm.

2008-01-22T12:31:00.000-06:00

Here's that Scalped sketch inked up finally. You all took my advice and went out and read some Scalped right? Good! Please forgive the crappy scanning job... I'm badly in need of a larger scanner. Eventually I'd like to get this guy and that Cool poster thingy in colour, eventually... And now, onto some Cool inks for chapter 5 of '76!

2008-01-11T10:29:00.000-06:00

The Image website now has '76 #1 shipping out for January 16th. I'm pretty excited/nervous to see what the book will look like... and I hope you guys dig it:)
Here's a quickie of Barracuda, one of my favourite characters from THE PUNISHER MAX series. I've really enjoyed Garth Ennis' run on the series and can't wait to read his last chapter...

2008-01-08T13:39:00.000-06:00

Just a few quick sketchbook sketches. It's amazing how rusty you can get after a few days of not drawing at all...

So, '76 #1 was supposed to be coming out tomorrow (Jan. 9th) but unfortunately looks as though it will be shipping one to two weeks late instead. There's no definite date yet, but when I find out I'll post it up...

Also, if you happen to be in Orlando on Jan. 26th and are attending the FX con this year, Seth and Clay will be giving out some free copies of '76 #1 at the Atomic Revolver panel- so get em' while they last!

2007-12-11T17:10:00.000-06:00

Here's a sneak peek at a pencilled panel from chapter 5 of '76. I won't be posting too much more from this chapter, as I'm afraid it would spoil some of the story. So far, chapter 4 and 5 are my favourite chapters that Seth has written... but he gets better with every dang script - so I'm sure I'll have a new favourite in a bit... Clay did an interview thingy at Comic Book Resources about '76. You can check it out here...

2007-12-06T23:42:00.000-06:00

A couple of quickies drawn from the DVD covers while watching the movie, trying to get back into that 'pencil phase'...

2007-11-28T20:34:00.000-06:00

Newsarama has put up a two part interview thingy about '76. Part 1 is Clay and Ed (click here) and Part 2 is Seth and myself (click here), y'know... if you're interested:)

2007-11-26T23:57:00.000-06:00

A little closer to getting it done - it's a crappy scan, but you get the idea...

2007-11-24T10:05:00.000-06:00

If you aren't reading Scalped by Jason Aaron and R.M. Guera - you should be. Do yourself a favour and get this book already! I couldn't sleep last night, so here's a really rough sketch idea that I'll also, eventually, get around to finishing dang it! Now go read some Scalped!

2007-11-01T10:32:00.000-05:00

My partner in crime, the extraordinary Seth Peck, is co-writing (along with Rick Remender) an Image comic entitled 'Sorrow'. This sketch started as an ink warm-up thingy... but as usual, I got a little carried away. Check out 'Sorrow' - you won't be disappointed, and remember - not all that is buried is dead...

2007-10-14T17:25:00.000-05:00

2007-10-04T21:17:00.000-05:00

Here's a sneak peak at some pencils from '76 chapter 4. Pete just can't seem to catch a break...

2007-09-28T21:09:00.000-05:00

When I get stuck (drawers block) I tend to look to some of my fav's for a little direction or inspiration. Today it was Rockwell's turn to cheer me up. Thanks Norman.

2007-09-11T14:39:00.000-05:00

Here's a rough page from issue#4... '76 was announced at the Baltimore Comic Con this past weekend. Clay and Seth did a couple of interviews to coincide with the announcement. If you're interested you can read those here:

Another sneek peek from '76#3...

2007-07-31T08:34:00.000-05:00

A page from '76#3. Clay and Seth have started up a '76 blog (which is being updated quite frequently) accounting the process of getting this comic up and running - click here to check it out.

2007-07-22T21:50:00.000-05:00

So, these pages make up the second installment of 'The Boxer' created and penned by wordsmith extraordinaire Seth Peck. Letters by the indomitable B. Clay Moore and drawings by yours truly. The first Boxer story was printed in Clay's Image Comic-'The Expatriate' #4. This one was drawn way back when we were first starting in on '76 and I thought it might be cool to post it up here for you guys to gander at. I really like the way Seth set this story up, changing venues for the duration of the conversation. I enjoyed working on it, I hope you enjoy reading it and I look forward to seeing where Seth takes Ben in future stories of 'The Boxer'.

'76 from Image Comics: 8 issue mini-series starting December 2007. Two groovy action packed adventures per issue - 'Jackie Karma' (B. Clay Moore and Ed Tadem) and 'Cool' (Seth Peck and myself). Can you dig it?
