Daily Candy

Hey-up browsers!
Postcards: True Stories That Never Happened, has been spotlighted by, Daily Candy, a website showcasing new cool stuff that you should check out. I've got an older post down below with some art I did from the story, Homesick, written by Josh Fialkov. In other news...
This week I've begun a new project I'm sure I can't show you pages for. So sorry. But here is a small detail from one panel, of one page. So small I'm sure it'll serve just as a tease, and not treason. I dig this Faun character in the story, she's a jewel to draw, and a sweetheart of a character in the story. I'll be in San Diego for the big comic convention this week and weekend. I'll be back in Madison next week. So stay well, be good, and I'll put up some pictures on my return.
Cheers,

My finest hour, so far.

Hey all,
This may even beat the Christamas cocktail I invented, or the time my brother and I conned our way into a field museum special exhibit with only our personal magnetism and character.
Here is a panel from a secret comic that a friend and colleague is putting together for his wife. I'm not gonna use any names or other google-able words because I think it's a surprise. I hope she doesn't see this if it is, but I have to share.
I think if the three or four of you that occasionally drop by the blog keep this under your hats, we should be fine.
We're all in this together.
Gezuar!

Giant

Here is an inky giant test. Still working on the inks.

Mouse Guard

Life is especially hard on the little creatures. Take the mouse I caught in the apartment just ten minutes ago.
I couldn't get it out of the glue that held it in the trap. So, I took it outside, covered it with a paper bag and crushed it with a free-weight. It was difficult, but I can't abide mice coming in our home. They can carry disease, or mites, bacteria, or worse. So I acted how I hope anyone with a conscience would have acted. I hope he doesn't think it was personal. I've got three more traps laid about the apartment, I hope that one is all I ever need deal with. I'll check 'em in the morning. Time for some rest.

New Art plus steins

Here is a little sketch I did, and in ink, by God!
It's a fauny lady concept for an ongoing project's development.
the jist of this character is that her horns, hooves, and tail are part of her anatomy. She wants to accentuate her animal side futher, so she dresses in wooly leggings and wears fur on her forearms. In her world, animal in beautiful.

Check out these incredible ceramic steins that Jodi arranged/got/made happen for a belated birthday present. Check out the 0.5 Liters mark on the side. Brillo pads. It's gonna be Spotted Cow and Boddingtons this weekend, methinks. Man, I'm getting thirstly already.



























Cheers,

New location

Hello, my grumpy little badgers!
Jodi and I just moved up to Madison, WI. Lots of cool artists and other creators working around here. I just met Josh Crawly, freelance letterer and comic retailer; Mark Nelson, artist, professor, and master of sarcasm (sorry Mark, this was the best gallery that I, and google, could find); and Leanne Buckley, artist of the Long Count (good lord, is she good). I met others, but they must forgive me my lapses of memory, I cannot remember their names. Good folks all.
Our apartment is also coming together nicely. After a fire in our garage, three days without hot water, and a broken microwave from 1982 was replaced, things are looking up. Cheers folks, it's time to get back to work.

Postcards

These are a few pages from the Postcards short story I illustrated, authored by Joshua Fialkov. It's a melancholy story of a marriage that isn't working out right in the city of lights called, Homesick. It was great to work with Josh, his storytelling is so genuine. I hope you dig these pages, and check out Postcards when it comes out on July 17. Cheers,
-Micah
