PORTLAND COMICS ARTISTS: Would you like feedback on your work from an experienced professional? I'll be at @bkswpicspdx.bsky.social this Friday July 5th from 4-6 PM for First Friday Office Hours. We'll be outdoors at the tables next to the shop.
How does this work? Details in the thread below.
You show me 6-8 pages of comics storytelling. I'll give you feedback based on my 30 years in comics. What works, what doesn't, how to tweak a panel for clarity or impact, tips for saving labor- the sort of advice your teacher at a comics class might offer.
I found a dinged-up copy of the out-of-print Whiteout Compendium book by Greg Rucka & me. Want it? It’s yours, signed and sketched for $25 or more to the Trans Law Center. First to claim it in reply to this post gets it- we’ll do the rest by DM! transgenderlawcenter.org/donate/
Spinch has made it clear that she does not like all these copies of Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen cluttering up her favorite shelf. If you buy a signed copy from my etsy shop you’ll make it possible for her to perch where she prefers. stevelieberart.etsy.com/listing/8778...
Looking forward to sending out a bunch of these postcards in a few months. BACKFLASH is written by @matjohnson.bsky.social, drawn by me, and colored by Lee Louridge. Published by Berger Books, an imprint of @darkhorsecomics.bsky.social.
These are from one of my favorite of Joe Kubert's comics, Tarzan 227. His figure drawing had reached an expressive peak, and he drew the hell out of young warrior Tulum and his father. Plus he designed his pages to eliminate formal panel borders whenever possible, with striking results.
Panel from 2018 or so. I'm the furthest thing in the world from a clothing designer, but I'm still happy with that design for Mac's shirt.
(Tiny coloring error, too. There was supposed to be a little heart icon wiggling up from his lap at the bottom of the panel.)
PORTLAND: I'll be a featured guest at Rose City Comic Con September 6-8th, 2024! I always have a great time at this show, and I can't wait to see you folks.
