The new Diamond Previews catalog came out yesterday with Wahoo Morris Book 2 listed for preorder and Book 1 offered again.

If you aren’t familiar with it, Previews is the product catalog for items available for order to any Comic Book Shop worldwide that carries North American comics.

I was pleasantly surprised to find Book 2 was a spotlight item on the order page and that it got a write up as a staff pick!

Very cool!

If you missed out on the Kickstarter (or wanted to avoid shipping charges) you can now preorder both books at your favorite Comic Shop with the order codes below.

I’ve been on a pin-up kick since finishing up and getting Wahoo Morris Book 2 printed.

The impetus started as an exercise in staying busy while sick with the flu, then it just became an exercise in fun while playing around with some styles I haven’t tackled in a while.

Continuing the theme of my last post, all of the pieces I have been working on have been finishing up earlier ideas and sketches.

The following three pin-ups (now finished) were all rough sketches that I was going to include as-is in my upcoming art book. While I was on the kick I figured why not finish them off.

Now that they are done I thought it might be interesting to show what the old pieces looked like before “finishing” them!

The Conan and John Carter sketches date back to 2010 when I was attempting to follow along with the ComicTwart sketch blog and was actively keeping a digital sketchbook.

The Tarzan/La of Opar piece was on the back of a location design from one of the animation studios I worked at in the early aughts, so it is the oldest unfinished idea I’ve used.

I have dozens of similar pin-up ‘ideas’ scribbled on layouts and in workbooks going back to the beginning of my career, so I could keep this process up for months, but I think it’s time to get back to some sequential story pages.

Whether I continue/finish any of the partially done stories in my archives, or start something brand new is a decision I’ll probably wait to make until Monday morning!
