Here’s a funny close-up of yesterday’s comic strip. Sometimes these pop up as I’m formatting the strip! 🙂

Hey fans, I’m working on a new 18″ x 24″ ICECUBES poster. What do you think? Color or Black & White? 🙂

Striking A Pose!

Ice cubes comic strip drawings
I always sketch out difficult poses before committing them to paper. The thing you’re looking for is how to inject energy into the drawing. So imagine the characters are alive and moving around on the page. Sometimes it helps to close your eyes and picture it. Having said that, you can see that I erased plenty of times before getting it right. Don’t be afraid of using the eraser! Nobody is watching and sometimes it takes a lot of bad drawings to get a good one! 🙂

Here’s the published comic. Note how the camera angle chopped off the legs, even though I drew them originally!

Changes.

Take a look at what the ICECUBES website used to look like! This snapshot was taken years ago and shows just how far we’ve come. This year we are going to make even more changes so hang in there while we do some renovating! 🙂

Out With The Old…

I thought you might enjoy a very early sketch of Peckinpaw done several years ago when I was just coming up with the look for the denizens of ICECUBES. He sure looks different nowadays! That’s the theme this year: a new look and plenty of new things to look at!
