HALLOWEEEEN TREATS!

Im gettin in the spirit of Halloween. Im workin on a three part skit of Sofa kINGDOM for this coming holiday (halloweeen)
i had the idea when i was illustrating the summers DOG DAYS SUMMER. The story is broken up in three parts. I was in the trend of Zombies. I put together the concept of having the kids ... ( DAVID, REEF, ALI.) turn into zombies. I the story is 2 out of three finish inked! but they are goin to be in grey scaled! In the mean time i made some SOFA KINGDOM PROMOS FOR Myspace. One regular and the other zombie! i had fun with the prospective. im coloring these pieces too!
ihope you guys dig! Most of the dialogue is played out and i plan to have the rest done with third. I hope after the HALLOWEEN SPECIAL Is illustrated. im goin to get back on track with the monthy stripps.!

STORY BOARDZ!

im working on storyboards this week. here are a few samples what ive been working on.

bye shadow

So I heard this past week that my nephews dog shadow past away. i was bummed out from the lost of his dog. (17 years old) i mean i know alot of people will say that he's just a dog. But he was a family dog and not any family dog. Shadow had character. Actually i believe he thought he thought he was people. ( i know it sounds crazy! but true) there where alot of fond memorys of Shadow that i can think of. But the ones that i can say stick out the most are the ones with my nephew. I can recall when i was pre teen and lookin at comicbooks as my directions for my career and my nephew (Jonathan) and i playin ideas of a comic strip of "Shadow the wonder dog". His weapon of course was his elastic tongue. Caused by an freak accident working as a guard dog for the acme rubber factory made his tongue all rubbery. I can assure you it was hirlarious. but the storys wrote themselfs. i sometimes thought we got out of hand. As years went by. I would show people the character as well as the story. Some people like it some ex girls hated the designs (bite me) and the teachers at my college loved the idea. I actually used shadow in some of my design classes. So Shadow was a character and he meant alot to me. Im sorry that he gone. But im glad that he was there for cheering up and keepin us company. i think Bill WATTERSON creator of CALVIN AND HOBBES said it best. He mention this about the lost of his real life cat "that even tho they are gone . we can always meet up in are dreams." For that i plan to have shadow in future projects. so he wouldnt be forgotten. Some of my concept work you can see that i still use my shadow refrences from my earily pictures.


Im workin on a tiny comic strip (one shot ) of shadow. I hope you enjoy as well i hope jonathan does as well. WIth respect and love.
