So SPX is this weekend, and I’ll be heading over there with the Mrs to sell more copies of Broken Chain and to give out some preview minis of my next book which I think will be titled “Roleplay.”

I’ll post up some art from that soon.

IndyComicReview.com recently posted a review of the full Broken Chain book that’s really positive. I hope to meet up with Alex at SPX this weekend so I can say thanks for the kind words.

I sent them the finished book last month, so hopefully they’ll get to review that too.

Did I mention that Broken Chain makes a GREAT Christmas gift??

I realized soon after I uploaded the PDF to Lulu for printing and ordered a proof copy, that I had forgotten to properly order the PDF pages, and insert blanks, etc.

Too late. So I have a proof copy of Broken Chain here now that looks fine, except for the fact that it’s all in the wrong order. So the title page is on the left of the 2nd page instead of on the right side (page 3).

No biggie. The correct copy will be here next week (those guys are insanely quick! I put this order in on monday, chose a pricey 2-day ups shipping option, and got the book today. 4 days for all that? Awesome) for me to OK before I go and order the full batch for SPX.

Anyhow, the book looks great. I love that it ended up being the size (in thickness) that I initially had planned. That sounds sort of dumb, but early on I remember not wanting it to be something that could be stapled. I love perfect bound books.

Here are some crappy, blurry cell phone pics since I’m too lazy to get my real camera to take photos.

That page on the left is supposed to be on the right. That page on the right is supposed to be on the next page….

It’s also linked on the right menu as well.

It’s viewable online and downloadable as CBR or PDF.

Go check it out!

(also, I coded the comic viewer in PHP a few hours ago, and my brain is sorta mush.  If anything breaks or isn’t working, please send an email or let me know somehow. Apologies in advance!)

Since I was sick all last week I lost lots of drawing time for Broken Chain, but now I can work while on the train commuting in to work!

I took a few short video clips with my camera and put together a 3 minute video that shows me working on the book. Page 16, to be exact.

You can see me drawing a panel fresh (since I didn’t like the pencils I had done for that particular panel) and later, drawing over my pencils and coloring.

It’s a sneak peek into my work process and what’s been eating up all my nights.

Enjoy.
