Announcements or Waiting to Announce Announcements

I'm trying to figure out how many hours of the day that I'm working on drawings, it seems to be getting up to twelve hours a day.

Why so long ?

 Well here's what may happen

 For the next five days I will be drawing for anywhere from 10-12 hours a day. If the plans I am hatching (or attempting to hatch) succeed this is what is going to happen at the end of these five days. I will have about sixty of these drawings (see above) that I like and want to show together, I will also have sixty wooden frames to put them in (not plastic, never plastic, this is a quality operation) I currently have fifteen frames.

 Once I get the go ahead from the boys at the Press Club to hang the show I will head over on the first of April and hang as many of them as I can in the space then price them for the ridiculously low sum of $25.00 each or two for $40.00 (any advance sales for individual pictures will be handled as bid starting at $30.00) and then on Thursday April 3rd have a small opening for them from 7-9 before Ron Leary plays and sell them all off.

The money from this enterprise will be squirrelled away for the printing costs of  the "Homeless G-Men" and "Squirleycorn" comics in May 2015.

I think Hannibal ( as played by George Peppard) would approve, what was his last name?

Smudges and Lines, Squirley Corn and the Homeless G-Men

I've been over at the "Smudges and Lines" blog for the past week and a bit drawing and posting and talking about comic art, so come on over and hang out.

I changed the title of the blog to "Squirley Corn and the Homeless G-Men" which are the two comic projects that I'm working on, I have to see if I can change the address to it as well since there is another artist who has a blog called, "Lines and Smudges" and I don't want folks confusing the two of us, I'll see if I can get this sorted.

So if you like drawings like this dude at the top head on over to the other blog via the sidebar link (top right).

Let's keep this sun shinin' on

The Story Of Squirlycorn

It all began about a week ago some friends and I were talking on fb, a friend said that she had something galloping around in her ceiling, I joked that perhaps she had infestation of Shetland ponies after a few more folks chimed in that maybe the culprit was a unicorn. By the end of the conversation it was deduced that it was probably a squirrel but by then I had already drawn the first image. A squirrel dressed as a unicorn, my friend asked to buy the drawing but I decided to keep it, something about the picture just made sense to me.

I started to think that maybe this cute squirrel needed a comic book created for him, I decided to head to Guerilla Printing and figure out how much it would cost to self publish a comic. It turns out the price wasn't as prohibitive as I thought it would be so on the way home on the TTC I started to write the origin story of a hero that I would call, "Squirlycon".

It's been a couple of days and I can't figure out anything else to call this guy except Squirlycorn, my wife kept asking, "Are you sure you can't come up with a better name?" and try as I might I can't so here for the world to see is my creation, Squirlycorn.

To follow the story of his creation you'll have to head over to the Smudges and Lines blog, see links right side of page.
