ICECUBES the comic strip #344

Posted on January 5, 2024 by Leroy Brown

Happy New Year everyone! Wow, 2024!! Hard to believe, but this will be the 16th year for ICECUBES the comic strip. I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your support for the strip. There will be some new surprises this year! For starters, I will make a lot more artwork available for purchase by collectors. Also, "The I's Have It" is now available for $1.99 as a digital download at the ICECUBES Store. Thanks to all of you who are subscribers and if you would like to be one, it is only $1 per month - just hit the Members Only! button or click here!

Well, it's late and I have to go to bed. I hope you like this week's strip. Peckinpaw is kinda sore... I had some fun with the colors again and made 2 different versions, so try to see the differences on desktop vs. mobile and tell me which one you like best.

Ok, thanks for being such 'cool' ICECUBES fans!

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

Striking A Pose!

Posted on January 20, 2014 by Leroy Brown

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…

ICECUBES the comic strip - Peckinpaw the polar bear.

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! There is a lot more coming up in the next few weeks so keep on checking out your favorite cool comic! 😉 Leroy Brown
