Here are two versions of the same image from a new story I’m working on.  The difference between drawing out of my head and drawing from a photo reference is huge…

Screenshot from an episode of the old Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes series - so presumably, this is on the lawn in front of someone’s house in England somewhere… View high resolution

Comics is that thing!

Sorry it’s been so long between posts, but, you know…

This is, as far as I can recall, the only time my tattooist career and comics career have ever crossed over.  This is Kirby from Good Dog, tattooed on my buddy Mark… You can see more tattoo stuff on my website: http://www.gschaffeetattoos.com/ and my tattoo blog: http://purplepanthertattoo.tumblr.com/ View high resolution

Sorry I haven’t posted in so long - I’ve been working on a new graphic novel but am not ready to put any of that up yet… In the meantime, here is a portrait of Murphy - my friend Michelle’s old labradoodle, who died quite recently.  I painted this last October and would have posted it back then, but had to clean up all the surface glare on the scan (GIMP, smudge tool, mostly).  So anyways, here it is… View high resolution

Here’s a portrait of Kirby, without his collar, that I did over the holidays.

I will probably do more dog paintings because I love doing that - stay tuned :)

I have just discovered that my new graphic novel bears a striking similarity to an episode of “Malcolm in the Middle” - It’s season 6, episode 19: ‘Motivational Speaker’. 

Here’s a link to a clip:

Being In The Moment

“The state of being-in-the-moment is what’s so compelling about dogs. It’s hard for a human to get to it. Even in the most difficult times, dogs are cheerful and ready for experience.”

I generally prefer to post original content, but c’mon - how could i not reblog this?

(Reblogged from taiwan-fair-trade-commission-roc)

This is it, y’all - pages 92-94 quietly mark the end of our story and leave our guy feeling something too vaguely unsettling to properly describe in words… which is much how I feel, having posted the whole story in it’s sketchbook form.  The finished version will be out in April.  Thanks for sticking with me! Hope you liked what ya saw and feel free to tell yer friends :)

Pages 89-91 - Ivan becomes a stalker; this is cause for concern and measures are discussed…

Pages 86-88; we’re getting pretty near the end - Ivan makes a decision very few real dogs would make - but that’s the glory of fiction, y’all… I put in a piece of the finished art, too.
