We are just 1 week into the new year and things are getting busy already.  I am on track to edition my January print within a week, with work beginning on the next 2 prints already.  Stay tuned here to see those prints as they start coming off the press.

Megamoth Studio has a new website for the drawing classes.  We are still working on getting all of the extra features updated, but about a million thanks go to Soojin for getting the bones of the beast up and running.  I am also excited because I will begin putting the new Megamoth Anthology together soon.  Sometimes it feels like a lot of work, but mostly it feels awesome.

Speaking of awesome, I landed myself a large stack of comics over the holiday.  I wanted to highlight Daisy Kutter – The Last Train by Kazu Kibuishi.  Kibuishi is probably better known for his work as the editor of the Flight anthologies and his continuing series, Amulet.  It must be acknowledged the Wild West steam punk is pretty much always a good thing and  Daisy Kutter is a great example.  Kibuishi’s stories skew towards a slightly younger audience in terms of narrative, but they are the sort of stories I was looking for when I was a younger audience.  They are full of adventure, magic, suspense and great visual designs.  After reading it, I found myself having to draw something like it.

I sometimes enjoy hand-working my prints.  It’s actually a pretty important part of my process to hand-work early state proofs to decide how to proceed on a print.  Every once in a while I will watercolor an artist’s proof of a  finished print. The results look something like this:

That’s it for this week. Until next time!
