Opening of "Drawing the Line: the art of comics, illustration, animation"

Picture by Kim Taylor

In a fit of blogger bugginess, this post evaporated. Must be a Google/Friday the 13th thing.

Here are the pictures again of the show opening at Clermont College. Tim Fuller, Daryll Collins, Brennan Bradford, David Hartz and I (Christina Wald) were all there to check it out.

The woman who put the show together, Kim Taylor, worked on the show The Simpsons for 5 years! How cool is that? Being part of the Simpsons creative team would be my dream job! (Futurama even better!)

She was instrumental in getting several other artists in the show from the Simpsons who put together their own comics anthology:

I look forward to reading the sequel to "You'll Never Know" debuting at the con called "Collateral Damage".

Of couse, Woody will be selling copies of "12-Way with Cheese" there as well.

International Coverage for 12-Way With Cheese!

Thanks to Woody, our comic athology of Cincinnati illustrators got coverage in Imagine FX, the UK fantastic illustration magazine. Cool! Now to get some local coverage!

Tim Fuller-Zombie Portrait

Since we have so many Zombie fans, here is our fearless leader and editor of 12-Way With Cheese. I know there is usually a head vampire, not sure what the head zombie is called. They do not seem to be very hierarchial.

CW-Zombie

Yes, my zombie portrait has a zombie cat... Cats often eat their owners when they are undead...

Sneak Peek-Comic Anthology-page Two

Here is page two for the comic I am doing for our anthology. To keep an air of suspense, I am not including the type. That will require reading the book...

This will make pre-orders go through the roof ;)

And I promise the typography will not include "papyrus"...

Sneak Peek-Comic Anthology

Here is the first page for the 10 page story I am doing for our 12-Way with Cheese comic anthology. It is very different from what I usually do. I have had this story idea for years but the art approach did not work because it was not cartoony enough. I scrapped all of my initial concept art and redesigned all the characters.

Below is a worksheet for the characters. They are literally "star shaped" people. I will post more pages as I finish.
