Zombre #2: The Magic Forest

Some of you have been wondering what’s up with Zombre #2.

Well now it’s being printed up, and issue number 3 is on its way!

Thanks to many of you for your help and support.

My friend Mike has a video production company:

http://www.circumvision.net

He was working on a new movie/documentary about Andover, Ma based band Piebald.

WWW.Piebald.com 

(Mike also made that hillarious video intro clip of them)

He needed someone who could draw robots and contacted me.

Piebald was once a hardcore band that turned indie rock. I hate to put so crudely but I hate describing music like that.

I really like their music. I can’t really figure them out and generally I like bands/people that fall into that category.

The DVD comes out next month from Sidehatch Entertainment

I decided to upload all the sketches and pics that illustrate (har! har!) the lengthy process of designing a dvd cover, w/all the band members faces.

Check it out!

Geez, these don’t look like them here.

Except for Travis who already looks like a cartoon character.

Here’s the rough of the DVD itself…

and the final version, in color!

(sort of final. It’s without back cover text)

Thanks to Mike Gill, Ben P. Lewis, and all the guys in Piebald.

Now go reserve your copy now at Ben’s site@ http://www.sidehatchentertainment.com/

If you’re in the Chicago Area, make sure to check out what is sure to be a
fun time. Ska Brewing, out of Colorado, is  throwing a beer event with

the Cincinnati based ska band, the Pinstripes.

Ska Brewing Co. out of Colorado has asked me to design a poster for

their Chicago launch at the Cobra Lounge.

Here’s some rough sketches  of their mascot, Pinstripe.

More soon…

These are the limited edition toys the MagicCabin.com hired me to design.

You can buy them here….

Please pick some up!

Hopefully you’ll see more of my work with this cool company.

In order to drum up a litte of excitement for the soon to be released, Zombre #2: The Magic Forest, I’ve decided to offer

a limited edition print.

This is in 2 colors and there were only 100 made. This print wont be made again, and is the 1st of a series I hope to make all pertaining to my comic series.

You can buy the print with free shipping for the low price of only $10

Ok here’s an update for all 3 of you readers. (Hi mom)
I’ve been working on the second issue of Zombre and trying to work on my graphic novel titled: The Magic Forest

at the same time! I wasn’t getting anywhere! (comics take a very long time for me)
Realizing that both books take place in the same setting with many of the same characters, I decided to kill 2 birds with one stone

and mesh both bottomless projects into a giant book titled-Zombre #2: The Magic Forest

So long story short, big issue of Zombre#2, coming soon, free glitter sticker!
Here’s some more pages….

This last one is of Bruce. I put him here just because he scares the living crap out of me.
