Stage Blood

Stage Blood 2

Kearney's got another gig next month with his excellent Stage Blood outfit, and this is my mock up for the poster. It stays with the same theme and aesthetic as the first one, but is a bit more restrained. Again, most of the composition stems from the type, and I'm pretty pleased with the internal shapes and rhythms of the text here.

Managed to keep it down to 3 fonts as well!

Is it just me?

Curses!

I got about 4 pages into my proposed minicomic before running out of ideas and motivation, and it has languished on my desk for the last few weeks. Suddenly, out of the blue, I have received a slew of stamped, self-addressed envelopes (which, looking at my post below, I did not solicit!) along with some amusing self-made order forms.

So, rather than just letting the Jungathon hardcopy edition disappear into the wasteland of my aborted projects, I now find myself OBLIGED to finish the damn thing and mail it out. Even worse, some of you seem to expect me to produce a follow up issue, since you've provided me with more than one of these bloody SAEs!

OK, I've started working on it again and will put it together as soon as I am able. Please note that I am deeply ashamed of the quality of the strips produced to date, and this whole fiasco will probably be as embarrassing for you as it will be humiliating for me.

I'll need to start smoking weed again, or something, if I'm expected to come up with something even vaguely amusing in the future...
