PREVIEW SAMURAI JACK ISSUE FOUR IN STORES TOMORROW JANUARY 22nd!!!

I don't see many preview pages beyond the cover, so I thought by showing a few it might prompt you to go pick up Samurai Jack #4 tomorrow! 

Issue 4 was one of my favorites, artistically--and the reviews continue to be extremely positive, here on the Examiner and the good folks over at IGN

See you tomorrow at the shop!

SAMURAI JACK ISSUE 4 ROUGH DESIGN SKETCHES...

As we near this weeks release of Samurai Jack #4, I will keep teasing bits of the issues process. Below are some super rough sketches (the final versions of these character's typically come together in the layouts and cleanup phases). 


Make sure to pick up issue four this Wednesday!

I AM DOING A 1983 COMIC IN 2014...


I recently teased a sampling of art on a website created by myself, Homestar Runner's Matt Chapman and an incredible logo designed by Jeff Simms. It's called COSMICSCOUNDRELS.COM and my hope for the new year is that you go check it out--and do so as often as possible, as new art, story and other surprises will be added continuously. It's something that we've been working on in our spare-spare time for a few years now. It's the culmination of our collective love of 70s to mid 1980s sci-fi (that of our impressionable youth)--and our desire for a purely creative outlet. This format will also provide an all new way to tell a story, or stories, as it were. 


Matt and I have contemplated crowd funding, or other attempts to make this more of a priority, but as of yet, we aren't asking for anything more than word-of mouth viewership and promotion. 

Once again, the site is called COSMICSCOUNDRELS.COM

Check it out, click around and let us know what you think!

SAMURAI JACK ISSUE FOUR ON SHELVES JANUARY 22ND!

In anticipation, I am posting both the rough cover sketch and the final cover.



Pick it up next week and let me know what you think, as this issue was a personal best for me--in my humble opinion. And check back because I will start showing some rough designs, color scripts and pages as we get closer to Wednesday.

ALSO: Have you been to COSMICSCOUNDRELS.COM yet?? More about that later as well!
