The Return of Stickman #1096

This ends the guest strip marathon provided by Jake Morris. I want to thank Jake for his fine contributions, and for giving me those extra ten minutes in the morning I take to draw this strip to do something else.

The Return of Stickman #1095

Yet another glorious guest strip by Jake Morris. Thanks for making this week a lot easier on me Jake!

Cover Art for the soon to be printed “The Comic Critic Presents Seldom Seen Films”

My first book is almost ready to send to the printer. I thought you would like to see the process I went through on developing the cover art. First I did a concept comp.


Then I did a pen and ink.


Then I added color.


Of course there was a lot more to it then that. Lots of little changes along the way and lots a queries to friends on their valued suggestions, many of which I applied. I will let you know when it is sent off to the printers and becomes available.

Another Thank You to Jake Morris for another guest strip for The Return of Stickman. This is #1094.

The Comic Critic Reviews: The Last of Sheila. And The Return of Stickman #1093

I remember seeing The Last of Sheila on Showtime a few years after it was released. I recalled a number of scenes, but not the full storyline. Watching it again a few days ago, my faulty memory wasn’t helped by the series of sudden twists the plot takes. Viewers are lulled into a perspective on events that proves to be false. Whether or not you enjoy this film depends on how much you can tie clues together. I’ll give the director credit for not pointing to each clue with a neon sign, so viewers actually have to use their brains.


And another guest strip by Jake Morris. Thanks, Jake.

The Return of Stickman #1092

I love it when fans send in guest strips. Here is the letter that came with the five strips I will be featuring this week from guest cartoonist Jake Morris.

Hello you guys over the pond,
My name is Jake Morris and I discovered 'The Return of Stickman!' about mid November. Since then, i have subscribed and have been fascinated by all of your creations. The additional inspiration to my already fanatic obsession about drawing stickmen and comics made me create these 5 comics. I would have sent them in one by one, but i have been a bit busy and have sent them in all at once.
Hope you enjoy and hope you would like to see more!
Thanks a lot,

Jakey

Thanks again for sending in these strips Jake. I look forward to more guest strips in the future.

Ukulele Phil and the Hula Kids

About a year ago I created a logo for Ukulele Phil and the Hula Kids. The logo consisted of three elements, each a figure. I created the figures so the elements could be used together or separated and moved around. The tiki head, ukulele and such. Phil has been taking advantage of this as he puts together swag and posters. He send me this, his most recent poster.
