The bird carcass has been picked clean,
leave nothing but a skeleton. Are bellies are full of a whole weekend
of turkey and leftovers. The families have all gone their separate
ways, at least for a month. And are bodies are slowly recovering from
the toll of being shoved and stabbed at the big day after sales. Now
we try and get back to the same ol' same ol' of our lives during this
holiday season. And with all of that being said, I welcome you all
back to my humble little corner of the net. Let us first get the main
reason you are here out of the way. Ladies and gentlemen, the Monday
edition of Shoofly....
As you may have noticed, things look a
bit different this week with Shoofly. Well that is because I have
started to find my style a little bit. I like the style of the panels
here, they feel more natural to me, and I think that is because of my
comic book up bringing. I know it is no secret that I have grown up
on a steady diet of comic books, and have studied all of the greats.
All I ever wanted growing up was to draw comics books, working at
either Marvel or DC. Well things did not work out that way, not to
say I am not happy with the work I am doing with my own characters.
But doing traditional style comic strips did not seem to work well
with me, and seemed kind of pointless on the net. So I am going back
to the comic book style. Also I added something else new that seemed
to work for me, black and white water color. Since I don't do alot of
heavy blacks in my inking, which I can not do in time to put the
strip up on a schedule I have for it, I thought adding some B&W
water color would be kind of cool. I like it, and am hoping that it
works for the rest of you out there.
Alright gang, that is going to do it
for this Monday, thanks for stopping by and checking in. Tomorrow I
got more Shoofly and a few fan letters to answer as well. So be sure
to check it out, and I will see you then. Take care folks.
