That Whooshing Sound

March 31st, 2010 | by Carl
Posted In: Blog

I’ve been grateful for this week’s help from my buddy, Mat Nastos. He offered to draw up a bunch of strips for me, and so I gladly accepted the offer, so I could take the advantage of the time freed up, so I could get other things done.

However, a week flies by pretty fast when you’re trying to tidy up your first year’s archives and come up with some ideas and material, that would all happily fit together, into something that will be revealed very soon.

But, like my favourite author, Douglas Adams, I got distracted by the very loud whooshing sound that was made by a deadline flying right past me and out of the window, to it’s fate.

So, now I sit here, with only a few more strips to clean up, and a lot of writing to do, to go with said strips. What I am working on, will be something that I hope to reveal around the time of my impending birthday in May, and also in time for the upcoming Pasadena Rock’n Comic Con, later said month.

Tim’s Great Adventure

Tim starts a diary of his experiences, on his trip through the stars, aboard the mysterious UFO.

Mat Nastos really delivered with this strip. His ink work is beyond awesome and how he captured every expression and pose is just sublime.

Up into A Starry Night

Up into A Starry Night

Justin, Lee and Tim watch a starry sky and so begins an epic odyssey.

This week’s strips are being drawn and inked by none other than the hugely awesome Mat Nastos, of Elfsong fame. Mat wanted to turn his hands to doing a few strips and so I gave him a script for a storyline I had in mind, and let him unleash his warped and creative sense of creativity and humour onto this humble strip.

If you like these strips, then please check out his awesome site at www.elfsong.com, and if you’re in the Los Angeles area, swing on down to Frank and Son Collectible Show, to meet him and myself at our respective booths and enjoy seeing us at work.

Fear Him.

Angela suggests to Tim a night in with a movie, but it reveals that he has some unexplained fear of Tom Cruise.

This of course leads into a week-long storyline which will be drawn by my good mate, Mat Nastos.

Messing with Mediums

March 19th, 2010 | by Carl
Posted In: Blog

This past week, which you may notice, I’ve been using brushes instead of my usual copic ink pens to draw the strips. My pal, Mat Nastos, suggested I try using brush pens to alter the looks of my lines, and so I took his advice and tried out a few brush pens.

Granted, it still looks a tad wobbley, but I’m finding the experience of messing with different types of pens and brushes quite fun. So much so, I found myself getting my old strips and redrawing them in Photoshop, with the brush tools. I’m in the process of cleaning up and re-outlaying the first year’s strips for a reason, which shall be revealed later in the year, but whilst doing that, I’m picking odd strips and trying them out with brushes and in colour.

The finished product I may well be sharing with you all, in the near future.

No Stopping Till Freedom

No Stopping Till Freedom

The final part of this bizarre little storyline.

I have to say, its been fun working with different types of pens on this strip, rather than using my normal tools.

Who Do They Think They Are

Who Do They Think They Are

A little gag based on a “cosplayer”, whom my friends and I ran into a couple of years back. They were trying to be the tenth Doctor, but dressed more like Columbo.

Anyhow, this strip was a bit of an experiment, due it being pencilled and coloured and inked by Mat Nastos. You should check out Mat’s work over at - http://www.matnastos.net/
