Hello Imp Fans!
I have been hard at work at producing the first Imp Comic! Imp Comic #1 is a mini-comic (about 12 pages) of devilish fun, set to be available this fall. I will have more details in the coming month but I thought I would offer this preview! Look below for a sneak peek at the cover of the all new comic book:
I have to share this video with my readers who are the creative types. I found this talk on www.webcomics.com and it was so good I have to post it here to spread the word. Elizabeth Gilbert talks about the source of creativity and how it may not all be your fault. She expresses her belief that those who unduly suffer from their own creativity can separate themselves from their creative outlet and not suffer from the effects of trying to complete projects and ‘outdo’ their last piece of work. Whether you are a writer, an artist, or something else, watch this talk and rethink your relationship with your creativity.
I drew up a little guest comic for my friend Scott who is on vacation this week. It is showcased today on his webcomic called: HellHasFoundMe. It made me chuckle if I do say so myself.
Doing a guest comic is challenging since the artist has to draw another artist’s characters in your own style. Of course the subject matter of the gag should be in concert with the characters and their comic theme. All and all, a great exercise for a comic artist 
HellHasFoundMe is a gamer theme comic but so much more. His comic is more of an ongoing series of character driven storylines interpersed with slice of life type of humor. I enjoy Scott’s skill at pen and ink hatch marks and his excellent freeform style. So, move your little mouse cursers over to Scott’s url, click over to his webcomic HellHasFoundMe, and check it out.
