Kingdoms
New Surreal Fantasy Webcomic
Warring factions in the insect kingdoms fight for a valuable prize.
Kingdoms is an adventure webcomic with cartoony charters. The wars and battles contain insect blood, gore and violence. Kingdoms takes the lead character from the first book, The Grand Roach, and sets up a story with him as King and the leader of a belligerent roach army. I am planning on releasing the first two chapters. Then, I'll release the third chapter pages weekly.
The new idea for this story got itself together on a giant drafting table in my first studio space that I set up here when I got back into Indiana.
The first chapters feature medieval warfare with arrows, bows, spears... I've currently finishing the webcomic pages in Photoshop using an extended version. It has better brushes to digitally ink and color than Illustrator could do in a timely manner.
Let me know if you like the bug guts or if the action scenes are too much, or perfect, or what.

Underming Operation: Hero
Expanding Story And Terrain
Chapter Two is a deep tale set underground.
Some of the current art from the pages that I've scanned and begun cleaning up. While the line art part is flying - the color and lighting for an underground setting is challenging to make.
Chapter Two skips from the tower and Grand Roach's trial to an underground subterranean area. Check out the early line and tone artwork right here.

Artist Learns Where Basic Tools Live In Photoshop
States: "Oh yeah, that's how to copy and paste!"
Original characters, myself and my studio assistants, the dogs, crowded around my desk. Left to right: Mississippi Sis, Cement, Miette, The Grand Roach, myself, Johnny Rocko, Man Who Bled Roses, Slave (yellow mask), Ratso (back right), Shroomy and Bubba Rex.
Stick around for more comics and a Roaches cartoon coming in 2014. Have a Happy Christmas until then, Internetland.

Social Studies In Roach Culture
Why Can't These Bugs Seem To Get It Together?
When is this title not about biting perspective on cultural elitism? It works out that way a lot. Even when America is moving from a 1st world country towards a 3rd world country we still cling to our notions of superiority!
And us poor "hipster" bastards are aware of it. The only times we seem to get above the drag towards ruin that the country is clearly caught up in, in any obvious way, is in one or two places where we don't feel like a sweatier version of Quasimodo! These places are almost always bars and coffee shops.

Bitchzilla/Chauvinism
New Comic Pages Released To A Stunned Internet Browsing World
Leading Critics: "This is clearly the work of a deranged mind."
These two pages are non-consecutive in the book and in the webcomic but they each deal with female roaches spazzing out. Spazzing out really hard, too. It's interesting that one character, Bitchzilla attacks unprovoked, while the Molecular Biologist bug in "Chauvinism" attacks for very good reason after she is jeered and nearly set upon by two guffawing morons.
These two pages are great examples of the art style being implemented for the second edition of the Roaches webcomic. Please continue to subscribe to the site with Blogger and Feedburner for more comics and cartoons. As long as you are viewing and subscribing I will be making 'em.

The Second Coming of Roach(es)
Underground Comic Returns From The Grave In A Second Edition
Publisher to world: "If we don't fund this childish drivel - the competition will."
It's hard to admit but I have learned many, many lessons since I first published this book as a webcomic. The first one was that not everyone is a fan of low brow, underground comics. Go figure.
To illustrate this point: there are 1,000 Sonic and Nintendo based webcomics and only one about cockroaches. This also supports the second thing I learned since 2010: people do not like originality.
All kidding aside, the most important thing I learned is that people will give you the benefit of the doubt in order to improve your craft. This includes all the good folks who have stopped by my table at cons, comic shop management who took a chance on my book, record store owners who gave me the time of day and other artists who talked shop about art and marketing. This last part helped me develop a crumby webcomic into a better book.
Please subscribe, "like" and "plus" the posts you see here so that I can continue to grow while showing you guys my current work. Your support has taken me this far - it's much appreciated!
