Things have been a mite chaotic at Monster Plus H.Q. in the past couple weeks, so I think I neglected to mention last week’s new page? Well, that just means that now you get to enjoy two pages at once! The revelation of Captain Dracula’s sinister plan...and then something happens that no one expected!

Monster Plus, "Vampire Planet" Pages 10-11

Whoo-hoo! New page of The Makeshift Man! Just four more to go and issue 2 is over! This page is special, ‘cause it’s the first one where I’ve used anything other than watercolor in the art. (The black around the edge is India ink.) Also, my first time experimenting with any kind of masking technique with watercolor. I think it worked okay? :O

This is an exciting week! This is an exciting week!

Chad emailed me the script for this week's page of Monster Plus and I was just so danged excited that I just did the whole thing in one sitting, staying up all night to finish it because I just couldn't stop because it was so good...and now it is definitely our best page yet. Oh, gracious, land a' mercy...Somehow I lucked into getting to draw this firecracker of a story, and I'm keenly aware of how blessed I am by that.

Bit of a late announcement, but there’s a new page of Monster Plus, continuing Captain Dracula's diabolical dinner party! >:[

Also! I've contributed a piece of guest art for today's installment of Copernicus Jones, a webcomic of robot noir that I love and that I think you will also love when you read it. They just finished their first issue, so you can get caught up lickitty-split.

And thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! I had a fantastic birthday, eating enchiladas with awesome friends. And it was a particularly good year, gift-wise. I am now the proud owner of Walt Simonson's The Mighty Thor omnibus, a hand-made Star Wars coloring and activity book, and a raccoon skull. Happy!
