ICECUBES the comic strip. #0291

Posted on April 21, 2016 by Leroy Brown

Speaking of technology, did you know that you can navigate through all the past ICECUBES comic strips on the website by simply using your arrow keys? Try it! Just tap the back arrow and watch last week's comic pop right up! If you think that's amazing, you're right and it's all in large part thanks to a guy named Philip Hofer, otherwise known as Frumph. Back in the day when I decided to put ICECUBES online, I had no idea how to design a website. So I did my best to cobble together a botchy WordPress site. Little by little, through intensive research I finally came across ComicPress. ComicPress was a way to publish comics that could be read online in an intuitive, user friendly way. Setting it up wasn't easy especially since I wanted to customize my page. That's when I reached out to Comicpress's creator Frumph. Lo and behold he didn't hesitate to teach me all kinds of things about php, css and sundry variables that would allow ICECUBES to end up looking the way it does today. Over the months and years Frumph was always there to help with coding. Recently he helped me with a new comics project I am about to launch. So I decided to thank him in this post and point out that he now has a Patreon account where you too can get help with your comic site.

Here’s the original drawing for Michael Pohrer, who won second prize in the Belgium Comics Contest. In this drawing I put Lucky Luke, a Smurf and Spirou along with Eggman, Peckinpaw and Freeze. Thanks to everyone who participated and congrats to the winners!

A bunch of stuff I use to make comics with. 🙂

Black Blood.

Posted on February 27, 2014 by Leroy Brown

Yes, I could have filled the black in Photoshop with one click, but just think how soul deadening that would be… Black ink is the life blood of ICECUBES the comic strip. Nothing can take its place! Original art for this comic is available. This is a unique piece, only one exists. This is not a digital file, this is not a print. Black India ink on Strathmore 400, 2 ply vellum, traces of pencil, titanium white paint, and blue pencil. 15″ x 5″. Signed and dated. $100.00 + shipping.
