Flooding the market

In the interests of airing out my archives, I'm continuing to post completed material on DrunkDuck.com. The latest is Voice of Reason , a strip from 1994 that was in a few Portland papers before I moved into darker stuff. I also will be posting RAF and Barnes, two strips that were initially intended for mainstream syndication. I now have five or so strips on Drunk Duck, and will continue cranking out new ones .
In Clench and Cheese news, the long, long storyline of the possessed guitars has finally wound to a close. I had intended doing a series of single-gag strips for a while, but I've already got a new narrative suggesting itself, so that'll be that.
I'm going to start posting production notes with some of the techniques I use to achieve the rather unusual look to C&C' s backgrounds if there's any interest.
Here's a Voice of Reason that won't be published on DD because I reworked the idea into a much better Boig & Bitty strip.

Cast of characters

  • Jonny
    Here is a brief rundown of the characters in Clench & Cheese

Boig and Bitty in Carry On

  • Carryon9
    This is a short comic story featuring Boig & Bitty, an odd couple who sort of asserted themselves to life back in 1992.

Voice of Reason

  • Bike
    This was an early-90's strip that was in a few weeklies. It was the transition between my mainstream work and the later graphic novel/ alt comix stuff. Some of the characters are pretty funny.

Clench goes to the Dentist

  • Dentist00040
    Here are some stills from the animatic of my current project. The anatomy needs some work. It's my first effort in color. This project is being done start to finish in Mirage (except for the editing, which will be in Final Cut). Not only is Mirage lovely to work with-- perfectly aping pencils, pastels, watercolor, ink-- it's also really useful to control workfolw in all the processes of making a movie.

RAIL

  • Esfashion1
    These were semi-political comics that were published in a leftist newspaper back in 94 or so. I even got paid, a rarity for the genre. Some of the gags are a bit stale (Bob Dole is a ROBOT!) but some hold up.

Trucks

  • Trucks2_058
    Here are some stills from an animatic I did last year. I need to make a better print of it and do a soundtrack. Once again, it was an idea that didn't really have legs, but by the time I discovered this it was too late.

The Corn Crib

  • corner of the main room
    Here are some low-res shots of my studio. It is an actual corn crib, albeit one that hasn't had corn in it for many a year. Somebody should tell the mice, though... I sometimes see their traces in the morning.
