November Already?

Above: AMA Sticker with an Obey Giant Sticker above that


What happened? This year went by so fast. It's not funny at all. I wonder if I'll be looking back come December and thinking..."damn Marc, you didn't get much accomplished this year". One thing I am disappointed about is not getting the full sized comic out on time. I've decided to not put a time on it now. I have drawn roughly 20 or so sequential pages since I began the ActionMan Adam project in February 06. Most of them are inked. That's not much in the space of almost two years. Although I have been doing stickers, stencils, screen prints and having a life in between.

I'm aiming for maybe 30 something pages for the full comic. I have plenty more stories to tell, but I should wrap up the first comic and then move on from there if I have enough material to do another one. It's been a learning experience for sure. Everything. Drawing a comic is cool. I can do that OK. Before setting out on ActionMan Adam though, I had never really messed with lettering my own work. I had only explored with ink wash on a minimal scale. Setting everything up to print, and getting the imposition right was more time consuming than I had originally thought. It's all been an interesting learning experience. Kind of an experiment that is continually on going. I find new things that get me excited about what I can try with it next.

Right now I'm getting into a double page spread. I haven't drawn any splash pages for this comic yet. In my mind it has to be a "serve the story" scenario. This double page spread I think will. It's going to be a lot of fun to draw. Mind you, if it wasn't, why would I bother right?


Other things worth mentioning. Cross Street Studios are having an exhibition "Molloy Ahoy!". The show is content produced by the Molloy brothers. Of them, I only know of Tim. Whose comics I really like. Flyer's are appearing all over town. So keep an eye out. In fact I will post the flyer image here.

Finally, a quick sketch image from myself. This is unfinished. An image I will be assembling for a screen print, or a sticker, or both?

Hope your week went well. All for now.
Marc!
