Three panels open (Warren Ellis)

Took a couple of unused drawings (panels 2 and 3), drew another (panel 1) and threw a haiku around it all..
Sent it off to Warren Ellis for his 3 panels open thingy.. he only posts the ones he likes..

Wonder if he'll post this one?

Pre screw up

This is my favourite stage, when there's still the possibility of it turning out well.. before I screw it up with ink and ham-fistedness

Ruining Andrew Robinson..


I looooove this sketch by Andrew Robinson (I'd link directly to it but I don't recall where I saw/got it..)

So I tried to 'paint' it in artrage on the iPad..
and managed to suck all the charm out of it.. Ah well.. We live and learn..

And I mean the above digitally, no sketches were harmed in the making of this post..

Lucca and Angouleme



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..

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

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..
