Bok!

So… for those of you who haven’t yet read volume 2 of Chickenhare… SPOILER ALERT! Wait, it’s too late, you already saw Chickenhare’s parents. No big deal really. In volume 2, Chickenhare ran into his parents on the way out of the underworld which is when he discovered they were dead. They were very much alive when he left home so this was a shocker. THere was some hints at wheat might have happened to them but nothing substantial. Now you’re all caught up. Weee! I remember laughing the first time I drew his parents. I think people had a totally different idea of what his parents might be, or maybe he’d been some bizarre experiment. Nope, just interspecies mating. Dies this blow your mind?

Also, last week one of my readers, Gabe, asked if I could show how I do my color. This page was already mostly done so it was too late for this one, but next weeks page will be followed in the blog area with a step by step tutorial for those interested.

He should run

This magic stuff is very unpredictable, but at least this time it would appear Chickenhare is the one in control… kinda

Original art contest!

Say what?! Here’s the deal people… Traffic ’round these parts has dwindled to a trickle as of lately, so I was thinking of ways to help that issue out. I could advertise on Project Wonderful? Did that and it was good… on the day I advertised and then BAM! Nothing. SO now I have a new idea. Maybe even a cool idea, and one you could get in on if you have a website! Do you have a website?

The contest…

Post a blurb on your site along with a sample page from Chickenhare. Help spread the good word to the masses.

The site that drives the most traffic to Chickenhare.com will get a personalized 5×7 original Inked and signed artwork with the 2-3 characters from the world of Chickenhare of your choosing.
Or…
If you’re a creator yourself and you would like me to draw your characters, or a comvination of both that’s cool too. Sound fair?

When does the contest start? NOW!

When does it end? SEPTEMBER 15th at 11:59 PM central time

*Please email me with a link to the post so I can keep track of the websites in the running.

Obviously I’m trying to generate traffic with this contest, I just thought sweetening the deal would be a good way to say thanks to everyone in a unique way.

Screamland art and an update

It became obvious to me with my current schedule that there was NO WAY I was going t be able to complete 3 issues of Screamland before the deadline. That said I had to bail on issues 7 and 8, but I’m still doing the covers for those issues. Speaking of which, here’s the cover for #7.

 

I was really bummed to have to pass on the next two issues, but I was afraid if I stayed the course I would throw everything out of whack for months for the Screamland team. My hat’s off to those poor, awesome bastards who do the monthly comics gig with a regular job and family mixed in. This was a lesson learned for me and most likely the last time for a while at least that I’ll be taking on extra jobs, even cool ones like Screamland.

Flashing back

So now we get an idea of the part Barley has played beyond just the selling of Chickenhare and Abe to Klaus in volume one. This is the first tie in a while I actually made myself laugh while laying in the copy on a page. He’s done punchin’ babies, so don’t ask.

SO CLOSE! next week brings something I’ve been waiting to show for a very long time. Once the story got going in volume one however, it became too hard to fit it in without it seeming forced. Soon, the plot will thicken.. so soon. Also as an added bonus, I got to make Barley cry. Happy Tuesday.
