Spokane Comicon – May 30th @ SFCC
Just wanted to drop a reminder that Spokane Comicon is this Saturday, May 30th at SFCC. I’m especially excited to meet Daniel Davis, creator of Monster Commute. (http://www.monstercommute.com/).
It looks like there will be plenty to do there, including some great guests and a program that I am especially excited about on web comics. Check out all the details at http://spokanecomicon.com/
Here is a special edition print from Daniel Davis that he’s created just for this show.
Holiday Weekends
The problem for do-it-yourself guys like me is that every 3 day weekend ends up being a mad dash to tackle some insane project. This past weekend was the nonsensical sprinkler system at my house. I’m sure that it worked some time in the past…the distant past…but not since we’ve lived there.
After digging up most of the yard we finally have come to understand what is actually in the ground. Thankfully we’re just abotu finished with the project. Just need to run about 400 ft. of control wire around from station to station and hook up the control box. It’s hard to imagine that we’re close to completing this, especially since it looked like the golf course in Caddy Shack at one point.
All this hard work will pay off when I have the BEST YARD IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD! I am gunning for yard supremacy. Now that I am fully middle aged the yard tyhing has become a priority.
Big Green Ape
This is a sketch for the first strip. I’m just using this for a place holder as we get the new blog format going. Keep checking back to see the progress.
Character Study for @sheldonlendrum
Zipline’s reach spans the globe with our friend in New Zealand, Sheldon. He’s really part of our clan here…so he’s not exempt for being a character in the Big Green Ape world.
Character Study for @deannatiemann
To occupy my time today during an extremely long phone call I worked on Deanna’s new character. We’ve decided that she does need some article of clothing, so I think a shirt with some spit up on it would be appropriate….in light of her being a new Mom and all.
Character Study for @stemkoski
Even those characters that you think would be easy, really aren’t. Here is where I ended up on Ryan’s character.
UPDATE: Ryan came dressed in his “uniform” today so I thought I’d show how accurate his character is.
Red and Green all over
Had a great time with the kids yesterday on our outing. Went fishing and then on a hike. Dad got SPF 50 on everyone except himself!
Skat Kat
So here’s another character for the comic, Skat Kat. Character profiles will follow, but I have to do it in a way that won’t offend the intended victims, er I mean the folks they are loosly based on. I think a strip featuring each one will help setup their character.
Big Green Ape – Study #1
So work on the webcomic is coming right along. People at the office have been very helpful in suggesting characters for themselves….hmmm. Anyway, here’s a first look at the main character. Does he look familiar? I’ll be posting more characters in the next few days as I get closer to actually doing my first strip. Love to hear your feedback. Thanks!
