Rumors of single not coming out for MoCCA were grossly exaggerated. Still crossing fingers for printers to come through though!

Not Mike Royer :(
Here’s a few samples of today’s inking session on Engine City.
The vigil observer will notice that I’ve focused on the characters in most panels/spreads. True, I started with the fun part

Working ass off on Engine City in way overdue prep for MoCCA. Alas, inks are a far cry from Mike Royer’s. Previews up later!
Time machine
A few days ago I dug out my Entombed records in search of some good inking music. As always I was blown away by the crude power of their music, and their way of infusing new life into old favorites.
Especially their cover of Kiss’ God of Thunder socked me in the face with the simple riff and deliciously idiotic lyrics. I was never a Kiss fan, and always thought that somehow their music didn’t add up to the band’s image.

Falling to pieces
It’s a week before I’m leaving for MoCCA’s Art Fest, and the material for the singles isn’t done yet by a long stretch. Head is literally spinning with stress.

Rants Daily no more
I went and turned off the daily posting of my Tweeting, and deleted the auto-generated posts. Although it serves as a sort of update, it felt like cheating.
Also, it’s sort of demoralizing to have it spelled out on the frontpage how little I actually blog
If anybody was actually following the Rants Daily series, why don’t you go follow me on Twitter instead ya lazy bums?
Off the Walls
Here’s a couple of shots I took on the move.
One is a bull that I might use as an inspirational piece for Dry Spot or Ariadne (there’s a lot of cross referencing all across the book)
The other just struck me as funny the way it forms a Venus from Willendorf-like figure in the formal language of emotica. I guess it’s a shape that fascinates across the millennia, which just fuels my pictorial fundamentalisms
