Phew! With the end of coloring for MARATHON, the bulk of the heavy lifting is done and boy am I relieved! Now all that’s left to do is the sound effects and the cover. Stay tooned as I’ll be posting updates on those as well. Thanks for the bananas and gatorade, folks!
Wednesday July 20th from 6-8pm, I’ll be signing alongside a bevy of amazing cartoonists at Jim Hanley’s Universe. Why!? To celebrate the release of Twisted Savage Dragon Funnies, of course! You can read that large graphic above, can’t you!? Well on it you’ll see a long list of limning luminaries who’ll happily delineate their moniker on your freshly purchased copy. I promise I won’t talk like this in person. Hope to see you there!
Jim Hanley’s is located at:
4 West 33rd St.,
New York, New York
(opposite The Empire State Building)

After crossing the 100 page mark a while ago, I’ve been reluctant to signal the final countdown for the inks. Now that there is only 15 pages left, I think it’s safe to say I’m on the home stretch. But hark there’s more! Oh yes, this is only one leg of the journey! Stay tooned for colors and lettering! Oh, and don’t forget to hand me a cup of water now and then, too.
These doodles seem to be the best so far. It’s been a bit of an experimental journey getting here but I think these drawings are sort of the culmination of the evolution up until now. Take a look at the rest below the cut and let me know what you think.
Once again, here’s another batch of my noxious nocturnal noodling. These pages represent a certain synthesis of all the previous drawings and I think they are perhaps the most successful drawings so far. They’ve become palimpsestical accumulations of various drawing styles and languages including pure abstraction, flat color, text and representation. Who knew they were such smarty pants!? Even more aristocratic artistry below the cut!
Now we’re getting somewhere! After a few doodles where I started to incorporate larger areas of color, this one takes it to its logical conclusion and makes the whole drawing a patchwork of color. That then becomes a ground on which I do a bunch of doodles in darker marker. Those doodles themselves merge to form some sort of skull! Pretty nifty!
The other doodle like this is below the cut.
