Helloween

Happy Halloween! I finally completed this. It took me 2 weeks so it's in pencil test format, but I had to do this on top of my other work at school and that's no easy task.

70's Fan Art

My friend Adam once again made some decade specific fan art for the site. Bellbottoms and Tab all around!

How To Draw Shiela

For this month's video I made an instructional guide on how to draw Shiela.

New Fan Art!

I finally got some fans that are making art, Woo Hoo! All be it that they were made by my friend GoldenEraFan at Deviant Art, but I didn't ask him to make them for me or the site. Now you're probably wondering about the picture on the top. Why is Mindy holding an ax? Why is her cleft on the wrong ear? And why is she called Cindy? Well that came from an idea he had about Mindy having an evil twin that was the exact opposite of her. I like the basis of the idea, but we did end up changing it to more of a Single White Female-esq concept.

Guitar Practice

If you all are wondering why the end of the month video hasn't been uploaded yet, well blogger isn't co-operating and first wouldn't let me imbed the youtube video then second when I tried to just upload the quicktime strait on to the blog then 5 hours later the 30 second video still isn't even close to being uploaded. I'm gonna ask around and do everything I can to get the video imbedded, till then you all are gonna have to settle for the youtube link. Sorry.

My Stuff!

Hey if you guys like my comic, you should checkout my other work. Don't be fooled by the rudimentary look of the early comics, I was (legitimately) trained as a fine artist. For proof check out my Deviant Art account: http://analogmaster.deviantart.com/

As for right now, I'm in training to be an animator. So take a view of some of my films: http://www.youtube.com/user/SocietyExhibition
