paul pope. this is his blog, he puts up alot of his amazing art. i have a book of his called PULP HOPE compiling his art and writings, hes one crazy guy. his stuff blows me away. check out BATMAN YEAR 100.
thats all for now.
im excited to start on some other things, i have some amazing scripts from a few friends, reid gourley, and adrian alexander. some really good stuff to pitch to comic publishers. im also planning on doing an anthology of some short story comics, and putting that out for purchase on lulu.com. (be on the lookout for a 7 pager i did a while back, called THE SECOND COMING i plan to have on the site in a couple of days.) who knows, all of these plans might change. MAYBE the CAVEMAN will get picked up while im in NY, and ill be "forced" to work for the man....for the money...that would be outstanding.
alright, well its time to get back to work. byee. -ben
You probably don't use this shit, but it's there for other reasons. Thought I'd be nice and let you know about it nonetheless. Anyway, I'm going to be working on adding a comments thingy somewhere on this piece and allowing linking to individual news items... all in the near future. Peace.

so when i said i was gonna do one painting a day i guess i meant 4 or so. some new ones up. ...i kind of took a break from my book just for the day, i didnt work on it at all. i had been going hardcore on it for like 4 days, did like 120 pages, and i needed to step back for a day. tommrow is a new day though, and ill be sure to make up for how much i didnt do today. so thats tomorrow. but today, was a painted day.January 23, 2008
ok, so i did another painting. a really quick one, using green, blue and black, and a sharpie...hulk smash.January 22, 2008
new drawing up, well, painting. i havent painted anything in almost 4 years. so i figured id try and get back to it. the new piece is a weird one, no real meaning behind it, besides an experiment with collage and watercolor. i just bought a big pad of watercolor paper, so i think im gonna try to do something small and weird like this everyday for a while, just to get better. anyway. hope you thnik its neat.January 22, 2008
im digital inking like a mad man. im afraid im gonna break the tip off my tablet pen. that would suck. anyway. just uploaded a another page for your peeking pleasure. this ones from chapter ten of my book. i really like the way it came out. and its a good shot of all 4 characters.January 20, 2008
so digital inking. basically me, my laptop, a wacom drawing tablet, and alot of coffee. when i started a few days ago, it was tedious, i was moving at about a 3 to 4 page a day pace, but all that has changed now. ive learned. haha.. im on my 4th day doing it, and ive allready got 84 pages done and ready for lettering! awesome awesome. i hope to get al this digital inking done in at the most 2 weeks. leaving me time for all the lettering, some final stuff i have to add in, and actually getting a chance to read through it a couple times and edit. theres a good possibility the first run will be a little "messy" so as to get it ready in time for the xeric grant, but im anticipating some revisions down the road. plus, lets get serious, it will never REALLY be done.im excited to start on some other things, i have some amazing scripts from a few friends, reid gourley, and adrian alexander. some really good stuff to pitch to comic publishers. im also planning on doing an anthology of some short story comics, and putting that out for purchase on lulu.com.
