The 9th Island - prison dialogue

Comics theory in a prison cell. From 'The Square Island', the sequel to The 9th Island. It takes place one generation later.

HOORAY FOR THE BAD GUYS

So I'm working on this Dungeon Degenerates Fantasy World & just knocked out this new poster, "Hooray For the Bad Guys". I'm simultaneously working on the "Return To Fantasy" issue of PORK magazine & I'm crystalizing this enormous, but amorphous fantasy world that has been in my head for most of my life. Made out of paint fumes & fleeting glances of daemonic entities, virginal maidens lost in the forest, spider webs, goblin skulls & the primordial energies that lurk in the mazes of our minds. It's fun. It's fun & it feels like a big deal. You can get the poster at the GOBLINKO MEGAMALL.

Topsy turvy fishing

The backside of sketchbook #57. Currently assembling ideas for the 'upside down world', a concept going back to medieval culture. I might do a large drawing with Gwen Stok along this theme, but also part of my The 9th Island story will contain an episode referring to it.

EBD Berlin show opening - April 22 2016

 So our Berlin show opened yesterday evening and I would say it was a big success. Lots of people showed up and judging from their reactions they generally liked what the saw. Here's a couple of photos to give you an impression of what the show looked like.

Copying the masters!

Recently, i found myself copying (from memory) the comic characters that i like, or that come to mind for some reason.

So, it's quiz time, kids! Can you guess sample A, B & C?

It was my hope that joining this blog would inspire me to do more improvised stuff, with less conscious guidance & more monsters, but so far i've only been daunted by the quality of my fellow EBDer's stuff. Well, here's a gorgon anyway.

JABBERWOCKY

Just finished this Jabberwocky poster! Quite stoked on it, one of my favorite poems & creatures in the world. You can get one at the GOBLINKO MEGAMALL. OH - here's a process piece I did as well!

 

Call for next Alkom'X

Hi there

Here's a double call for next Alkom'X issue, n°9 and 10

I don't know yet what's going to happen to n°9...! At some point I started being annoyed by the way it goes... It was like this shitty zine have to enter a specific market where everyone look at you like an enemy, or, if they are artists, like a guy to know on the road for success... And if you don't follow that way you're nothing interesting! Why don't open in Paris, why not being in all good bookshops & cool website, why not this or that???
Well, just because its not on purpose! Alkom'X don't need to be a showcase for emergent graphic world, fresh meat from artschool, but just being a funny way of being alltogether in one by promoting monsters and weirdos! Can we still do something for nothing except the pleasure of it?

So here's n°10 ! That translated into italian "Io" give "I" "ego", like a collectiv work made by all... here is the regular call and regular project everyone expect :)

So, feel free to suggest anything for n°9 but know that this will break the series by anyway, maybe like being a single booklet book or I don't know changing size, printing technic, or just by doing it myself with few guests! But if it has to be as big as others well its gonna be!

Then n°10 is widely open to all and you're all welcome to join the collectiv! Cheers Ducks

The 9th Island - fight scene

A four-fisted scene from 'The 9th Island'. I am happy with the greytone like it is. Colouring won't be necessary.

Fantasy 4 (?)

hi there!

another fantasy stuff...i did a mistake with one arm but i don't think it needs to be corrected (i guess arm of the victim should be in front of the one who carry her...)

More luxuria

 More variations on the theme of luxuria. The one on top is more or less copied from the cover of the well-known novel 'Montaillou' by Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie, which, together with Umbero Eco's The Name Of The Rose, paved the way for a plethora of medieval-themed literature back in the 1980s.
No idea if i can make it to a full-sized series. We'll see.

RETURN TO FANTASY

I'm working on the actual release of the years in the making Dungeon Degenerates project! Inspired by the murky world of early Role Playing Games & the dark & dank 1970s that spawned them, I'm looking to evoke the same kind of wild & weird energies that made parents across the country terrified about what strange goings on their children were engaging in as they explored the dark corners of their consciousness. Initially we're working with long-time friend & game designed Eric Radey on the playable Dungeon Degenerates card game & simultaneously working on the pen & paper RPG of the same title. Packed with as much art as possible & again, burbling out of the murk of latchkey life & the construction of dungeons in the depths of suburbia. Begin exploring at the GOBLINKO MEGAMALL.

Half Blood Cutting Room Floor

Half Blood is out this month. The publisher is apparently promoting it as a "graphic novel of Gothic Romance." Get it here if that sounds like your thing. It is also a broken clock, a useless instrument, an eliptic tale of hermetic solipsism, a reflection upon depression and artistic inspiration, and a gob of spit on the theories of Joseph Campbell.

The pages above are from a new 30-page tale that cannibalizes three spreads from Half Blood.
