This scene has become my favorite. You'll have to wait to read it, but I promise it will be worth it. #comics #imagecomics #voidtrip

Sometimes you draw a dozen versions of a characters face and all the sudden the spark of life comes in. #characterdesign #conceptart #comics

I love developing my own symbol systems within a comic. Those symbols evolve and mutate with the character during their journey. Anyone notice Anna's logo on issue 01 & 02? I'd love to hear guesses/theories on its meaning! Note it will reappear in other visual forms as the journey continues! #voidtrip #imagecomics #comics #symbols

VOID TRIP issue #2 introduces my favorite character design. The Crazy Froot Alien Mentor!! He's one part beatnik, one part old wizard, one part Rastafarian! Born of the psychedelic Froot world! For answers to all the questions that character description may induce, pick up Void Trip issue #2 in stores Dec. 27th. #imagecomics #voidtrip #comics #comicinks

Another great day at the art board. Inking Void Trip, sipping coffee, taking in the last days of a dying Empire. #voidtrip #imagecomics #comics #ink #inks #inking

Getting to create completely original characters and bring them to life gives me satisfaction. I love working in a cartoon-realism landscape. I think I first got hooked on this method of art when I was exposed to Dali's surrealist paintings. #comics #comic #imagecomics #voidtrip #ink #inks #inking #inkwash #zipatone

Every story has its heroes, and secondary characters, but there are also the tertiary "non-speaking" characters. As a comic artist don't treat tertiary characters as "filler". Give every character a personality. #comics #comicart #ink #inks #6swords

Inking is all about light & shadow through tone & texture. The more interesting you can make these elements the more interesting your image will become. #ink #inks #inking #inkwash #inkingcomics #comics #comicbook #imagecomics #voidtrip
