KERRANG!!!!

Robert — Mon, 24 May 2010 05:06:47 +0000

So, there is a new comic up on the comics page. It’s called Dr. Eric Attar starring as The Kerrang Hunter, and I guess that’s about as descriptive a statement that can be made. It’s another one of the micro-fiction comics I do from time to time. I’ve also done a few screen prints of the thing, so maybe they’ll show up for sale at some point. To all things, commerce! Anyway, feel free to click here and read this bad boy.

My Mid-Program…REVIEW!

Robert — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 04:48:34 +0000

So, before we go any further, I want to be clear that the title of this post was written with this in mind. FLASHBACK!

Anyway, I know that I haven’t posted in a little while, but I’ve been really hard at work trying to get some shit done. Most important, trying to get my work up for my Mid-Program Review. It’s a super huge pass fail sort of deal right in the middle of my grad program. Basically, you have to get all your best stuff together and show a mysterious panel of three people from MCAD what you’ve been up to and defend your work. The whole process is that weird sorta stressful on purpose thing school does all the time. It all sorta reminded me of this, to be honest.

But, yeah I passed. And won the Merit Scholarship. So, party. A few more photos after jump.

Horror Comic Panels

Two panels from the horror comic. I like how they’re looking, but I think they might still be in the pencil stage…

Master Blaster Show

Robert — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 04:02:43 +0000

Me and the other first year grad students at MCAD are having a group show. The even bigger news than that, though? I’m going to do a painting for the show! The working title is, “BEST PAINTING EVER,” but I might change it to, “Best. Painting. EVER!” It’s going to be my first gallery painting, so if your in Minneapolis any time between March 19th and May 7th, you’d better come check it out. And, if you really like it, it will only cost you this much.

And, yeah, I guess all the other grads’ work is all right, too.

Copy and paste-able info after the jump.

More Horror Pencils

Robert — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 05:24:19 +0000

So, school is back in full mutha-effin’ swing, me and the lady are trying to get some wedding stuff together and I’ve got a shit ton of comics to get done, so I haven’t really be posting up a storm. But class has been awesome so far, and I scored a few teaching gigs to help pay for the wedding, so hopefully the comics ‘ll come along. In any case, here are some more pencils from the horror story:

I promise there is more to it than some jerk in a suit. Also, image uploading issue, FIXED!

Horror Blue Line Panel

Robert — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 23:25:43 +0000

I’ve mostly been doing homework and paperwork type work for the last day or two, so I don’t have a ton of non-spoiler type panels to show, but here are some pencils from a panel in the horror comic:

Scary, huh!? I’m not sure if those are final FINAL pencils. I think the faces could be a bit clearer. Also, I don’t know if the room they are in is light or dark, so I might have to add in a ton of sweet moody horror shadows. But I’m pretty happy with it so far. Anyway, once it’s inked I’ll post the final panel.
