This is only one auction of many that are participating in a larger initiative called Heroes 4 Haiti. All around the world, comics artists are donating their work for auction on eBay so if you’re not interested in this drawing, please consider any one of the other works listed in the comments section at Heroes 4 Haiti!

2009 was a great year for me and a big part of that has been working on “Sled Dogs with Issues” with Glenn Eichler and the First Second crew. As a small token of my gratitude I whipped up some colored ink drawings of the characters as ‘Thank You’ cards. Above is the card of the character, Winston. You’ll just have to read the book to learn more about him!

The Sled Dog project crossed a minor landmark this week by coloring the 60th page! That’s half the book colored! To mark the occasion, I’ve posted up the finished 60th page. Oh, I guess I never mentioned this, but this book is a thinly veiled self-help guide on how to talk to females. Alas, I’ve got so much to learn.

Here’s another lettered page! I’m happy with the way these are coming out. The hand drawn sfx with words really finishes the page nicely, in my opinion. This page is a nice example of our human language is just gobble-de-gook as far as the dogs are concerned. And yet, we somehow still communicate.

So here’s my first pass at a final page (26 to be exact). I’m testing the look of the hand drawn sound fx and so far I’m pleased with how they work with the art. This page has more than average number of sfx so most pages will not be this busy. Anyone with an opinion, please feel free to share. Thanks!
