Madman: 20th Anniversary MONSTER

In stores today!



Above is Maris Wicks and my contribution to the supremely talented Mike Allred's oversize hardcover. It celebrates 20 years of Madman, including several pin-ups and one-page stories about the character by a slew of amazing comic creators. Maris and I were lucky enough to be included in on the fun, with our one-page story, Madman: Fast Times at Snap City High. This marked our first big comics collaboration, with Maris on writing duties, and me on art detail. So if you're looking for another grand comics reading experience, be sure to check this one out today for ours and several more Madman pin-ups and comics work by Frank Quitely, Jeff Smith, Paul Pope, the Hernandez brothers, Mike Allred (of course), and more in the Madman 20th Anniversary Monster!

Congrats, Mike!

Photobooth Fridays, No. 14

Happy Friday everybody! Following our last post, we'll be looking at/teasing another panel from the up and coming 'Madman 20th
Anniversary Monster' hardcover due out sometime later this year.
Here it is:


Brain'd! Word balloons (and script) written by comics creator extraordinaire, Maris Wicks, who also saw fit to Photo Bomb my reference for this panel:

It's A Mad, Mad World

For those of you who love and appreciate the work of Mr. Michael Allred (and really, that should be all of you), do yourselves the favor of bookmarking his newly formed art blog --allredart.blogspot.com/
There you'll find tons of cool art, and many a mention to Allred's forthcoming new hardcover, The Madman 20th Anniversary Monster! A sequel of sorts to Madman Gargantua, this new book takes a page from 2009's Wednesday Comics, collecting a wide range of comic artist each doing their own oversized, one-page Madman story. It's set to come out in the later half of this year, and I'm super excited.
Maris and I were flattered to have been asked to work on a story for the book. The above panel is a little tease of our contribution.

More to come!

Madman!

Hey guys,
Here's a look at a pinup I just recently finished up for the spectacular Mike Allred. I love all of Mike's works, and in particular his Madman series. So I was really flattered when he asked me to draw a pinup for the up and coming final issue of the series' current run for Image comics. It was a blast to work on. Okay, enough babbling. Here it is -


And also - Wednesday Comics! There seems to have been a tremendous response to the book out there, which is great to see. Mark Chiarello is a total genius. I'm eternally grateful to him for including me in this amazing book.
Anywho, I thought this might be neat to show - It's a side by side comparison of my page in the printed book alongside its original counterpart -
More previews to follow. Be on the lookout for issue 2 of Wednesday Comics this week!
