Hereville 2 Title Page Pencils!

Sunday, July 29, 2012

So Hereville 2 is nearly done! I’ve drawn all the story pages and the cover, and I just finished penciling the title page a few minutes ago. Jake is blazing along on the colors. I want to go back and revise some drawings I’m not happy with, but basically, my part is done. After all [...]

Welcome to my new collaborator Tina Kim!

Tuesday, July 10, 2012

So here’s a big change for Hereville book 2: a new collaborator! Cartoonist Tina Kim has joined what must now be called the Hereville team and will be drawing environments (aka backgrounds) on about a third of the pages. (I’ll be drawing the backgrounds on the remaining pages). Before I began Hereville, I had always [...]

Wednesday, July 4, 2012

I always enjoy seeing what Jake’s colors look like without my drawings and word balloons getting in the way.

Hereville 2 preview — page 79

Barry will be at VanCAF this weekend

Tuesday, May 22, 2012

Hi! Sorry I’ve been blogging so little lately. I’m just spending long days every day drawing Hereville. And it’s not just the time; it’s also, somehow, mental creative energy being expended. Even when I have a few hours after work, I just don’t seem to have it in me to write new posts. Anyway, this [...]

Hereville Book 2: Cover Art!

Monday, April 16, 2012

The cover art to Hereville: How Mirka Met A Meteorite.

And here are the two covers side by side:

I do think we succeeded pretty well at making a cover that was clearly part of the same series as book 1, without being the same cover over again.

Hereville book 2 – cover sketches

Friday, April 13, 2012

Warning: The images below contain some spoilers regarding the plot of Hereville book 2. Then again, so does, you know, the actual cover to the book. So when I started work on the cover to book 2, everyone (“everyone” in this case meaning me, the folks at Abrams (my editor Sheila and book designer Chad [...]

Preview panel: Mirka runs up a hill

Thursday, March 15, 2012

Just a completed panel from Hereville book 2 (although it’s still awaiting colors from Jake, of course). I’m happy with how this panel came out. Sometimes things come together well.

First drawing of the troll for Hereville book 2

Friday, February 17, 2012

The troll is a very fun character to ink. Especially that huge long curve under his belly; getting that line right, when I can get it right, is loads of fun. (Yes, this is what I find fun). This shows both the rough sketch of the character on the page, and the completed drawing. (Jake [...]

Book two in progress: A Couple of Fruma Outfits

Saturday, February 11, 2012

Hereville book two is now completely written and laid out (although there are a couple of pages I want to go back and fix), and I’m now at long last drawing actual pages. A bunch of pages are partway drawn, a few pages are complete, and — much to my excitement — the front cover [...]
