The Proof Is In The Work

Hey All! Well Josh and I finally got together to podcast and work for a bit and I thought I would show you all some pictures from us working. We typically will podcast at one person's house and then head out to the local Barnes And Noble to get some work done in their fine coffee establishments. Enjoy the pics, but beware there's some spoilers if you look too close at my work!

As you can see, my setup is pretty simple. I work on 8.5x11 bristol board and a layout guide that I created for myself using a blue line for easy Photoshop removal. I draw all of my pencils in blue lead too. Those two microns are all I use for inking, except a Sharpie for large black areas.

Josh, however, works pretty large and I gotta say I love working small, but I equally love seeing large finished art work. So I'm slightly jealous. Here's Josh working on a new page of "Newman."


And finally a big prideful nudge towards our Jacksonville Jaguars and their victory against the Steelers. Note the hat.

Well, Josh and I had fun today. It's been about a year since we first met and its really cool having another comic artist living nearby who thinks remarkably similar to you. If you guys have a fellow artist nearby I recommend getting together to work just like this. It's really fun and gets you away from feeling so lonely at that drawing table.
