Hey, everyone!
I’ll bet the morgue isn’t where Eddie thought he’d be a couple of days ago, eh? Poor Eddie.
You know, I used to hate drawing backgrounds (I think most artists start that way), but the town of Secrets Crossing is such a character unto itself to me, that I don’t mind at all…it kind of helps me explore the world Eddie lives in and make it more real. For instance, in the 2nd panel, you don’t know it, but just around that left corner is a half bathroom. Probably not important to know that, but it’s in my head now, which may be important to future “morgue scenes”. All part of the interesting way in which comics work.
Thanks to Anthony Schiavino again for playing letterer/editor for me…we’ve started using Google Wave to conduct our project work…which is a beautiful way to collaborate. If you haven’t heard of Google Wave…you will soon! Anthony has also been writing a Ghost Zero/Doc Monster one-shot called “Flight of the Radioactive Corpse”, and it is awesome! Kudos to Anthony….it’s a great story, and I’m looking forward to putting some art to it.
Speaking of projects, I’ve lost my mind and started a new one….a graphic adaptation of the first Vampire novel ever….and no, it isn’t “Dracula”. In fact, it predates the writing of “Dracula” by 45 years! Go take a peek at Feast of Blood and let me know what you think!
I should also mention that my wife and I are moving, at least temporarily, in with my parents…which will be weird, but hopefully good as well. I’m working to make my work station as portable as possible. Let’s hope that the move doesn’t interrupt my work too much on the comics. We’ll see.
Thanks, everyone! You might want to use that bathroom just around the corner before the sheet comes off that corpse in the next screen….)
