Big Beautiful Scanner!

Today brought the home studio closer to completion with the arrival of a large format flatbed scanner and an equally sweet printer (not yet hooked up). Naturally, something needed to be scanned immediately. So it's old, but that doesn't matter since it could not be scanned yesterday.

Woot!

I love you Epson.

Swine Flu!

Colin made a request. I was happy to assist. Other slogans:

"Die by the Swine!"

"The Price of Pig Love"

Picnic Bits

Working on a fun little piece for Digital Picnic and decided to use this as an excuse to better acquaint myself with Illustrator CS4. Started with a simple pen sketch and am now working on building it all up in the mac. Far from finished but thought it would be fun to post the progress.

Fallcon recap and ".faust"

Fallcon was great as always. Thanks to everyone who showed up and made it a fun way to spend a weekend. Dave, Dave, and Adam were great neighbors and seeing friends as well as making new ones was all kinds of excellent.

As if that isn't cool enough, ".faust, the Summoning" is now up in its entirety at: http://www.sandboxtheatreonline.com/

Check it out. Can't wait to see the show.

Fallcon!

Tomorrow and Sunday I'll be at the MCBA's Fallcon at the Grandstand of the State Fair grounds in St Paul. I'll have some minis, prints, cards and original art for sale as well as doing sketches. Should be a fun weekend but be sure to swing on by and say hello. If it was Fullcon I'd say "there's no Fullcon without U!" but it's not so I can't. So maybe, "there is no "fail" in Fallcon"? At any rate, be sure to come for a visit.

Faust!

Done and in full color. For some reason Blogger is creating weird color shifts on the jpgs, but no worries. You can see all six pages at http://joelvollmer.wordpress.com/comic-art/




Big thanks to Dave Wheeler who provided assists with the color.

Brock Sampson makes me happy.

Thank you Mr. McCulloch, and thank you Mr. Warburton. This one's for you.

I'll have to do one last color check tomorrow for oddness but this feels pretty good to me.

Now up and running with CS4

So after hitting the wall with my real work, I decided to take a few minutes and play around with the blob brush in combination with my wacom tablet.





Fun stuff. Once I get a better feel I may have to do something a bit more ambitious.
