I'm sure it's obvious, but today's theme, provided by Tim Hamilton, was 'Jack in the Box'. You can see all of today's warmup sketches at our new blog, Drawbridge. Go check it out!
Daily Warmup Sketch: Dinosaur!
Around the studio over the last little while, folks have been doing thematic warmup sketches and sharing them on their respective blogs. The guilty include Simon Fraser, Tim Hamilton, George O'Connor among others. Today, I entered the fray with this sketch for our theme of "Dinosaur" titled, The Mighty Uniceralope! Below are the other participants:
Hypothetical Island!
The studio formerly known as XOXOs (Hugs & Kisses) is now Hypothetical Island! XOXOs has had a shakeup of its members over the last year and now with the recent addition of Reilly Brown (Cable & Deadpool, The Incredible Hercules, Prince of Power) we all decided on a fresh start. In honor of George O'Connor's relentless hypothetical deserted island questions, we all agreed that the name, Hypothetical Island seemed appropriate. And so, on behalf of Reilly Brown, Becky Cloonan, Jason Little, George O'Connor and Kat Roberts I'd like to announce the formation of Hypothetical Island! Huzzah!
Marathon
Like the man says, it's time. Over the last while I've been working on my next book project for First Second called Marathon. The book, written by Boaz Yakin tells the story of the first Persian invasion of Greece at Marathon in 490BC. It's a sweeping action epic focusing on Eucles, the messenger whose run from Athens to Sparta to Marathon and back to Athens again is instrumental in the shaping of Western civilization. Pictured above is General Miltiades, the Athenian military genius famous for this historic tactical victory over the Persian invading force.
The book is scheduled for release the summer 2012.
Pood on Forbidden Planet!
Thanks to everyone who came out to the FPNYC signing last night! I had a great time meeting all the fine folks and friends of Pood both new and old. Over at the Pood blog are a number of photos from the signing. Most of them have me buried in a Pood doing a doodle. Here's a couple for your viewing pleasure.
Thanks also to fellow Pood creators, Henrik Rehr, Bishakh Som, Mark Sunshine, Andrés Vera Martínez, Kevin Mutch, Adam McGovern and Alex for a wonderful evening!
