Graphic Novel Reporter has selected MUSH! as part of their Great Graphic Novels of Fall 2011! Thanks GNR! MUSH! Has also been positively reviewed in the PW Review for September 26:
Eichler and Infurnari tell a simple but layered story, laced with an insightful appreciation of the great gulf that exists between our species and life’s comic absurdity.
MUSH! Sled Dogs with Issues will be available in stores December 6th. Don't you dare miss it!
I just added over twenty new photos to the Photo Feed! G'wan and check 'em out! In the mix you'll see another batch of graffiti pics, cats, drawings and Muppets!
It's been a while now since I got an iphone and in that time, I've grown very fond of taking pictures. Whether I'm in the studio, waiting for a train, at home or out and about, it's become a habit snapping pictures using many of the great photo apps available. My favorite is Instagram. I'm hooked! I take a picture and share it with my friends who follow me in the app. Now I have amassed hundreds of photos and in the interest of sharing them with those of you not using Instagram, I've added a new site: The Photo Feed. It's still in need of some design tweaks but the blog is up and running with over a hundred photos for you to peruse. On the main page are 56 randomly selected images. If there's nothing of interest, please reload the page and you'll see a whole new array of pics! Please visit and if there are any photos that you respond to, please leave a comment. Thanks!
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!
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.
In this drawing I've taken the same approach but this time I included the dark blue marker as part of the color patches. The other line drawings over top are done in brown, black and silver markers. I think the skull drawing ties first one together in way that isn't happening here. This is just a rather random assortment of motifs and elements. I probably had to do this drawing before I could go ahead with the next batch. They are more successful that this and I'll be posting them up very soon. Thanks for reading!
