I am working on the pencils to the Mighty Motor-Sapiens week 28 right now – the final week! The weekend and next week will be dedicated to my story for the Tori Amos anthology from Image Comics. After that, unless something else comes up, I have a few weeks free until I start storyboarding in mid April for probably the rest of the year. I’m going to do my best to get caught up on Wahoo Morris in that time!

Anyhoo, here’s the roughs for week 27 of Mighty Motor-Sapiens for your viewing pleasure!

I’ve been a little quiet this week and last, but that doesn’t mean I’m not drawing. Just the opposite. February is starting out just as busy as January ended.

I’m not one to count my chickens before they hatch, but it seems that the story-board test I did last week was successful and the directors have asked me to board on the show when it starts in April. In the meantime, the studio has asked if I would like to work on another show already in production until the other show starts. So… I’m doing another test this week for THAT show.

I know I’m being a little coy not mentioning show names, but I’m superstitious that way – until the work is on my desk I keep mum!

So, if all goes according to plan, I will be finishing up The Mighty Motor-Sapiens the second last week of February and then starting a storyboard the first week of March, which will give me a full week off from paid work to get my Comic Book Tattoo story (hopefully) inked or at least well on the way to being inked. I’ll be picking away at the pencils over the next two weeks once the animation test is done.

Wahoo Morris will be on hold for most of February I imagine, unless I get farther on the Comic Book Tattoo story than plan. I hope to at the very least spend one full day (during the week “off”) inking the pages I posted over Christmas as pencil only. I’m going to get everything unfinished finished before moving on to new pages, but the plan is to eventually catch up to where I should be in the posting schedule.

It’s going to be a busy Spring!

Only one page of The Mighty Motor-Sapiens pencils art this week. I’m attempting to ink from my roughs, so this is the only page that looks good on it’s own.

I was interviewed two weeks ago for The Charlatan, the Carleton University student newspaper.

The interview itself is pretty simple, but the fumetti photo-comic format they used to publish it is kind of neat. The interview took place in my home studio, and shows a few details of my work area.

You can check out a PDF version of it here.

Here’s the rough pencils I just finished for The Mighty Motor-Sapiens week 25 day 01. The plan is to ink it this evening after finishing up the animation story-board test I’m working on.
