the em'effin' Batman! - DrawingBoard.org Character Jam

so I was recently reminded by someone posting about it on twitter that drawingboard.org had also been far from my mind in recent history... which is a shame...

I found out about it from Mike Weiringo's (RIP) blog a few years ago - it really has been a pretty cool & supportive art community...
apparently my old account wasn't so accessible anymore, so I made a new one (krikitmedia, of course) - one of my favorite things about the site has been the various "drawing jam" threads - recurring posts with a new theme (character, event, photo-reference, etc.), usually monthly...

thusly, I found the batman jam thread in the superhero forum - leading to this sketch I did this morning over breakfast...

got me & Ari talking about what makes him such an iconic figure, even just visually... yay, drawingboard.org is still cool!

I'll put up a strip, you can get a tip (I cartoon the way I are)

so, internet will be up Monday - which means I can have more than one attempt every few days to post if something goes haywire :p

it was kind of annoying to have the strip finished & lettered but, for some reason, not be able to save/export it...

also, being that Some Antics! is just kinda whatever's going on & whatever's interesting at the moment (pretty much topical), I'm thinking bi-weekly might be better... I really don't wanna have premises that don't amuse me or what not coming out half-@$$ed... plus I'll never get those other two titles started if I'm killing too much energy on the 1st one... Some Antics! was put up 1st simply for the reason it's supposed to be the easiest & quickest one to get out...

so yeah...

don't sleep... penguins will eat evil operating systems

sheesh kiddies - I'll be so glad when my internet gets hooked up (already ordered, now just waiting)... I sketched these OS mascots the other night - probably shoulda been lettering the strip so that would be up today ;O

but no worries... it's coming ;D

hello & hello...

I think the commuting is starting to get to me... I survived Con, I was pretty much down for the count this last weekend... neck's been really stiff... strip's almost done... site's under construction... now to wake up for work :p

Comic-Con is over!

Comic-Con was great!... got sketches from Paul Taylor (really cool guy), Zach Marcus (who sketched Tyler Hutchison as a seal/sea-lion - awesome guys as well), Susie Cagle (really cool gal to meet, by the way - she uses the same pens I do!), Kel McDonald, Ryan Smith, & Brad Guigar (awesome guy, let us talk his ear off for probably too long ;) )...

met Kenneth Rocafort at the Top Cow booth... saw Tom Richmond doing a caricature at the NCS booth... met Alex Albrecht, Jeff Cannata, Dan Trachtenberg, & Scott Kurtz upon arriving at the PVP booth...

my post-Comic-Con strip is up here on Some Antics!... & here's the photos I took while at Con as well...

we had a great time, with a few hiccups, but next year we'll be more prepared...

anybody going next year?
