The FIRST AmityBlamity Sale Ever!

Monday afternoon a box arrives at my door containing 100 Amity Blamity Sample Books.  The team investigates for bombs and/or treats.

48 hours later the first ever sale of an Amity Blamity product is made :)

Congrats to Mr. Ray Long for being the first (but hopefully not the last!) to purchase the preview edition of AmityBlamity.

It contains the first 3 chapters of the book and is a limited print run of only 100 copies  which I will be taking with me to Chicago this month and to APE in the fall.  They'll all be signed and numbered and more than likely I'll do you a sketch or something on the first page so come on out and say "hello."

p.27 The shortest, most undramatic chase scene (ever) ensues.

Scribbles & Sketches

Here are a few scribbles from my desk.  I like to rough out a composition a few times before penciling the actual panel on the nice bristol paper.  That way, I can revise and play around with different shots quickly and not feel bad about tossing an idea - cuz it was a 30second scribble :)
