I get lots of emails about how I do art, so I made a time lapse video from my coloring process on last week’s comic. This isn’t a tutorial, but it shows how I build up the color through layers. I do all of the drawing and coloring end-to-end in photoshop with my own custom brushes.

Last week we had the first of what is likely to be many LOST in Comics contests. The prize is a sexy art print of that week’s comic!

Check out these photos of the winner selection process!

We printed off all of the comments (186!) and cut them up…

wadded them up into little balls…

put them in a “hat”…

and then drew a winner…

Congratulations, Alyssa! I’ll get in touch soon via email. And for those of you who did not win, you are all winners to me. :) This contest was a bunch of fun and we will definitely do it again soon, so watch out!

Special thanks to the lovely Magnolia for all her help with the drawing!

Free Comic Book Day ‘n Stuff

This Saturday, May 1, is international Free Comic Book Day! For those of you who will be in the Utah neck of the woods, and I know that’s a lot of you, I will be a guest along with some of my fellow local comickers at the Dragon’s Keep in Provo doing free sketches and hawking LOST art prints. I even made up some sexy LOST in Comics bookmarks to hand out.


So come on down, get some free comics, a snazzy LOST bookmark, and I’ll draw you a nice picture of Desmond in the shower or something. BONUS!: The first person to tell me what their constant is will get something special. :)

And to celebrate Free Comic Book Day this week’s episode of LOST in Comics will be a special giant FCBD edition and will go up on Saturday morning.
