Like I promised… the first installment of PIGEON TOE AND CLUBFOOT is now on our web comics link. Let it not be said that I am not a man of my word. I just sent the script for page 02 off to Scott to draw, so more is on the way soon.

FROM HERE TO THERE #2 is well in the works. All of the artists are doing their thing. I’ve seen some of Rita’s artwotk for one of the stories (Blood Trails) and it looks amazing!

We also have the finished cover for FH2T #2 ready to go.  The cover art was done by Gerry Fernandez, and it is AWESOME!!!

We should be seeing some pages from Marc soon for THE LAYFIELD INCIDENT. I can’t wait to see what he’s doing with it. It sounds like he’s been putting a lot of thought into this and he seems to think it’s gonna come out looking pretty good. That’s good enough for me. If you’ve seen Marc’s artwork before, you would know that if he say’s it’s pretty good, it means it’s gonna look awesome.

I’ve also been talking to Irene about the cover for LAYFIELD. I think you guys are gonna want to buy it just for the cover, I know I would.

Stefano has sent us the first batch of pages for PIECES. Dude!!!… They kick ass.  As I’ve said before, Irene also did the cover for PIECES, so between the cover and the interior pages, YOU WILL WANT TO OWN THIS COMIC!!!

On top of all of this, Scott and I are also going through submissions for FH2T #3, Submissions for mini-series, A few one shot ideas, and we are also still working on THE SOUND (not to mention our actual jobs).  So believe me when I tell you that we are tired men

But you know what…? I wouldn’t trade this for the world.

So… Scott has been producing a recording project this weekend in San Francisco. Scott lives in the East Bay, and he doesn’t drive. B.A.R.T. (basically, the bay area subway for those of you not in the know) Stops running at about 12:30. I live in S.F.

So Scott stayed at my house over the weekend. Of course we stayed up way too late every night talking about comics, music, and every other geeky thing you can imagine.

I had to work all weekend. You know what that means? It means I barely slept. I’ve been going on about 3- 4 hours of sleep a night.  Not so bad for a night (or two) but when you do that for 3 or more nights, that’s bad news. I’m actually so tired right now that I’m starting to hallucinate. No really, I am.

Damn you Scott and your evil ways of making me stay awake…..I WILL HAVE REVENGE!!!!

A few posts ago I said that I would keep you all updated on the progress of THE LAYFIELD INCIDENT, and so I shall.

Marc Jameson is hard at work doing the pencils and inks for this comic as we speak, unless he’s asleep right now, in which case he’ll be hard at work on these pages as soon as he wakes up.

We also have the multi talented Christopher Barker lined up (I hope) to do the color for this comic. That’s right…. it’s gonna be in full fledged, glorious color.

I’ve also been talking to a cover artist for this project. Her name is Irene (I’m a bad man for forgetting her last name). She  does a lot of work with Azurek Studios. In case that doesn’t ring a bell, Stefano Cardoselli (Hitching a Ride) is from Azurek Studios. She does photo manipulation art, and believe me, SHE IS AWESOME!!! She also did the cover art for Stefano Cardoselli’s PIECES, soon to be released by Resolution Comics.

One more thing…. I finished writing the first installment of PIGEON TOE & CLUBFOOT, and Scott is drawing  it as we speak, unless he’s also asleep. WAKE UP!!! It will be posted on our web comic link by the end of the week, I hope.

We just finished the APE convention in San Francisco. Our first convention actually having the printed comic to sell. It was great!!! We managed to sell a decent amount of issues of FROM HERE TO THERE #1, and we even sold some of the original pages.

Although I was glad that people wanted to buy the original pages from the comic, I almost didn’t want to let them go. I felt like they took a little piece of me when they walked away with those pages, even though I didn’t draw them.

To pass the down time at APE, Scott worked on drawing and inking some art that he planned to give to a friend of ours. For years, this friend has talked (jokingly) about starting a band called SGT. PIGEON. So Scott drew a page of a pigeon in a military uniform. Funnily enough, I had also emailed Scott a while ago with a joke idea for a comic. The title of the comic was  PIGEON TOE AND CLUBFOOT. The premise is…. there are two pigeon detectives, one of them is pigeon toed, and the other has a club foot. So we also did character sketches of some of the main characters, and do you know what?…..  I wouldn’t believe it myself if I hadn’t been there but…. PEOPLE LOVE PIGEONS!!!

I would say that most of the interest we got was from people that spotted the artwork for SGT. PIGEON, and then they saw the sketches for PIGEON TOE AND CLUBFOOT and went crazy for it. Scott was even asked to do a pigeon sketch.

So we decided that the “joke” comic of PIGEON TOE AND CLUBFOOT is no longer a joke. We are going to do a web comic for it. So look for it soon.

Brian.
