back on the horse

2012-01-30T22:31:00.000Z

I'm having a real hard time getting back on this horse.. haven't drawn in a looooong time and it shows.. threw the last two away..

scribbled on paper, photo'd with iphone and imported into artrage on the ipad

Lucca and Angouleme

2011-08-11T19:07:00.001+01:00

So... I'm thinking of going over to both Lucca in October and Angouleme in January for the respective comic fests.

Anyone make any recommendations?

Così… I' m. che pensa a superare sia a Lucca a ottobre che Angouleme in gennaio per i rispettivi fests comici. Chiunque fa tutte le raccomandazioni?

Ainsi… I' ; m pensant à faire un saut à Lucca octobre et à Angoulême en janvier pour les fests comiques respectifs. N'importe qui émettent toutes les recommandations ?

Any language mangling due to babelfish.

Free red plains issue (by far my best one)..

Red Plains (w/ Audio Commentary) for Free Comic Book Day!

by Caryn A. Tate on Friday, May 6, 2011 at 8:22pm

Red Plains: Christmastime is Here is being released tomorrow (Saturday, May 7) for Free Comic Book Day, via Graphic.ly! That means it's FREE all day tomorrow - and it includes audio commentary with me & awesome artist Gary Fitzgerald! Where else can you get actual *AUDIO COMMENTARY* for free? Pretty sweet if I say so myself.

After tomorrow, the book will be 99 cents. So don't miss out :)

first try at the lead character for the story I'm writing..

2011-03-29T19:00:00.000+01:00

I wish I may, I wish I might...

2011-03-29T15:00:00.001+01:00

over the weekend I completed the audio commentary extras for my issues of red plains, and received my signed and remarked copy of Iain McCaig's shadowline book.. both of which have put me in the mood to draw again..

I wish I were a hybrid child of McCaig and Clare Wendling.. with Stuart Immonen, Duncan Fegredo, Marcos Mateu and Corrado Mastuantono as my mad uncles..

that would be some after christmas dinner game of pictionary..

All ashore that's going ashore...

this went up a while ago...

to be honest.. over the last couple of months I'd decided to hang up the pencil.. was going to write novels..

but now I feel I have to draw something of quality to take it's place..

so I guess I'm saying "I'll be back"..

gaz.

(ps.. the lack of quality was all mine, the writing by Caryn A Tate is splendid indeed)
