So, Robt is on the mend and getting back to work, so the set of pages for the proposal should be ready to go very soon. For a guy who went throgh some pretty rough weeks he seems to be getting right back into the swing of things.

My own relatively minor flu seem to be almost done after a couple months as well so I need to be getting more productive. In addition to the regular lettering jobs and lettering and writing my own comics it's also coming up on con season so I have promotional materials to start putting together and additional projects to get lettered for friends doing their small press books for the cons.

Yes, I'm an egomaniac and I listed myself twice. I am drunk...drunk with power. Tremble at my fantastitude.

Should also point out that Black Watch was co-created by Samuel J Brown.

Black Watch part one

Okay, since traffic in here is almost nonexistent I figure it can't hurt to lay down some pages for those couple folks who do still wander in. I'll pop up a page or two every day or two. These pages are unedited and not color corrected yet...in fact a couple pages later on haven't been colored at all.


Let's start at the start...Both cover options and the first two pages of
Black Watch #1....

(CLICK ON THE PICS TO ENLARGE)

Cover 1- Bong Dazo/ART & Jay Fotos/COLOR ART
Cover 2- Ignacio Calero/ART & Hi-Fi/COLOR ART
Interiors- Bong Dazo/ART - Robt L Snyder/ COLOR ART -
Kel Nuttall/STORY & LETTERS

It's a monster!

A cover from the upcoming BLACK WATCH miniseries. Drawn by Bong Dazo and colored by Jay Fotos.

Just time for a splash page from Issue 2 of
Black Watch by Bong Dazo and back to work.....


Oh, those pesky Nazis leaving their mutated and deformed failed genetic experiments laying about for unsuspecting British SAS troops to stumble into.

CLICK IT...IT'LL GET BIGGER>>>>>>>

Just a quick check-in....

Too busy still for any in depth reports. Things progress.

Black Watch has issue 1 line art done, issue 2 is in full swing, I have "alternate" cover line art for 1&2 with pencils for 3 coming tomorrow, and I think we now have a colorist.

Here's some stuff....

No time for love, Dr. Jones!

Heh! The title is a quote from Short Round in Temple of Doom ...love that little guy. Anyway...no time for much of a real post. Still trying to stop this flu from kicking my ass and scrambling to catch up on lettering jobs. So..not time.

Trailer Park of Terror #5 is off to the printer. Up to my neck in a new lettering job called Psychosis.

Patched up the second script for Black Watch. This is a very good thing considering my boy BONG DAZO has turned in completed line art for Black Watch #1!! WOOOOHOOOO!!! After THREE YEARS and EIGHT other artists who didn't work out or simply flaked I get finished art from Bong after only about three weeks!! (click it)

4:30 AM October 28, 2006

Busy as hell. As people keep pointing out to me....at least I'm busy doing something in a field I enjoy (lettering comics) and being busy means making money. Valid points....but I'd still rather be spending the bulk of my time writing. I have a few big things coming up that are going to be keeping me lettering a LOT through the end of the year and maybe a month or two beyond but I'm starting to trim down my lettering jobs.

Going to be more selective and asking more money. If it's going to keep me away from writing, it better be good or filling my wallet or both! NOT that I haven't enjoyed my recent jobs! That's surely NOT the case. But for the sake my my writing "career"...can you really call it a career when you're at the point where it costs you more than it makes you?...I just need to set the bar higher to keep myself from taking more jobs than I should. Future jobs should be really cool, or fun, or see me working for a big company or on projects with extra cool talent involved...or they should at least be paying me my new minimum rate. I can almost hear JD from Imperium saying "Oh, $#*@!! What does that mean??"

Anyway, moving on...it's 4:30am and I've been in bed a few hours, just miserable sick with a messed up back and dealing with a touch of his flu we have going 'round around here, but I feel a bit better so I figured I better get on the computer and finish one last page of lettering an a short story for a fella. Checked my email and found pencils for a Black Watch cover...or variant cover...or poster...or something. The pic on the left is a quickie mock-up with the logo.

Also got some sweet headshots from the artist doing Life of Riley with me. LoR is a mismatched group of teens bouncing around realities trying to find pieces of an artifact, trying to find Riley's mom and brother who they learn are out there reality-hopping too, and trying find a way home. Maybe I'll post those up later.

Well, time is a'wastin'...I better crank out that page and get back to bed.

More....

Things continue to move along. Lots of lettering to do but I wanted to give you something for popping in here!

More Black Watch characters from ....that artist I'm not naming yet. :D (click to enlarge)



Don't think this is the exact style the pages will be in, he said he was going to experiment with a little more "edge". Hopefully I can show you some of that soon.

Two days in a row!

Just a really quick post before I get back to lettering. I know I said I wasn't going to talk about the new Black Watch artist until I see how things go and I wasn't going to post any of his art for a while either. But I got some character designs today and wanted to share one. (Click it to make it bigger)

New project....

A new writing project just starting to get off the ground for me. Not much I want to let out at this point as far as concept story, etc apart from saying it is sci-fi adventure. The images here (click to enlarge as always) are by Hannu Lipponen, the artist with whom I'm developing the book.

On the left is our lead, an adventurer rogue who travels the spaceways with his crew....which consists of his four wives.

Below on the left are the designs for some primative jungle dwelling aliens that are part fo the opening scene.

Below on the right is an artifact our boy is after.
