MASH-UP entry: V.A.M.P.D.O.K.

I am not eligible to compete, but I still like to throw one in. This is for Velocity's MASH-UP contest, where folks mash 2 characters together, creating a singular new character.

This week's output

I've been busy coloring and lettering APOCALYPSE INCORPORATED, preparing to shop it around to get it published. I'll post some of those pages once I get around to making them web-worthy.

These images are the October Cheat Sheet image for the shop, and a sketch I did in a new 100% recycled paper sketchbook. I wanted to see how the paper, which is pretty smooth, would take to a good brushin'. Turns out, it takes it pretty well.

AIR GUITAR

Always tackling the important issues, here are the prelims for my Team 8 series hopefully screen-printed by the end of the month.

Cheat sheet banner

This was done last week for the September Cheat Sheet for the shop. A cheat sheet is what we give customers at Velocity that lists all the new product we will order at month's end, gives them a chance to add it to their list. I've gotten tired of just moving the store logo around the top of these things, so I figured I'd start drawing new banners for each month.

Vestiges pages 1 and 2

And last but not least for now are the first 2 unlettered pages of VESTIGES, the mini-comic I did as part of the TEAM 8 CREATOR SHOWCASE, overseen by myself and Spencer Hansen. Go to http://www.team8press.com/ to see all the hot junk Team 8 is working on.

RIDEFINDERS comic

This is pages 2 3 and 4 of the Ridefinders comic I did for GRTC earlier this year. It is to be handed out to elementary school children all around the city to teach them the benefits of carpooling, biking and riding the bus to reduce carbon emissions and stuff like that. Scott Wichmann wrote it, it was a lot of fun to do. The corrections and deadline crunches, eh, not so much.

Apocalypse Inc #1 page 1

Man, where'd the time go? Oh yeah, towards getting a lot of stuff done, which I'll try to pile on here. This 1st thing is page one of the forthcoming APOCALYPSE INCORPORATED series. This is penciled by my amazing pal KERRY TALBOTT, who is too busy and important to ink or color so I'm the lucky guy that gets to do all that.

I'm going to see if I can throw up some more recent stuff in a minute.
