A panel!

It took me a while (nevermind how long), but I got a panel done from a two or three page story I've been thinking about. With the other work I'm doing I can only work on this a little bit at a time. I'm having a blast working on it since it's a different style than I've been doing for a while.

Logos

Here's an embarrassing hobby of mine. I play Out of the Park Baseball, which is incidentally my all-time favorite baseball game ever, and those who know me know I can never love anything as much as I love baseball. My favorite part of the game is how completely customizable it is, you can construct your own teams and leagues, etc. It's been a dream of mine since I was four to design baseball logos and uniforms and now after these long twenty years, I am finally able to do so. Perhaps it is nerdy and somewhat shameful, but at least it's not World of Warcraft. It's a deep, dark secret but I'm pretty pleased with how some of these logos are turning out. I've learned loads and loads about Adobe Illustrator while doing them so it'll end up helping me professionally.



I know a ridiculous amount of baseball history. I can tell you the winner of every World Series. Part of my deep-seeded, obsessive-compulsiveness is that teams logos have to change over the years. Since they had different design sensibilities in the 70's than they do now I had to design different logos for each era.



It's been a really good exercise for me involving a lot of research and it's made me think different ways to suite different eras. So, shameful though it may be to me, I think some of these are pretty good and I'd really like to get in to more graphic design work as time goes on.

Probably the last Coin-Operated Girl page until March. I'm just short on time to work on it. Don't worry, half dozen people who know about it, it'll get done.

I've gotten the go-ahead to start inking my Twilight Zone book. I pencilled it in a pretty open style so it should go pretty fast and give me a lot of practice with my brush. My goal is to have the whole thing inked before I move to Chicago in March so I'll have to be working at a pace that I can only describe as "epic". It wouldn't be so bad if I weren't losing four days next week when I'll be up in Chicago finding an apartment. I was also hoping to have Coin-Operated Girl done by the time I moved but I can pretty much guarantee that not happening.

I finally found time to sneak in some work on Coin-Operated Girl, the companion book to Coin-Operated Boy and done in the style that most people seem to recognize me for. I should be able to produce a page a day of this while I'm inking my Twilight Zone book so, God willing, Coin-Operated will be done by the time I move to Chicago.

Nobody in particular, inked entirely with brush. Look at all the little lines!
