Snazzy! Yeah, I figure if I bought the Minimum Wage collections after getting the individual issues, I might as well do the same with FTA. Still need to read #4...

Better late than never, James. Davis is a bit of a hero of mine. His work is so fluid and lively. Maybe, when the time comes, my cover will end up on your blog (though hopefully not in the company of Tutis and Changeling Press).

The cover looks very promising!
I'm ashamed to say I had to look Jack Davis up. Now I've spent ages going through chunks of his art all over the web. Great stuff.

Thanks, Robert. I actually drew these "in character," at the work on of of the characters, so my approach was different than my usual.

Love the illustration--it really has a classic "book illustration" feel as opposed to a comics feel, if you know what I mean.

Looks good, Bob!! Who is that little character flying overhead and to the left on the cover? It looks like it says "Nodoze!"

I love little roughs. It's the least self-conscious part of drawing for me.

Thanks, Billy. You know how I feel about your stuff: mind-boggling. Everyone, go check out Billy George's work. It's beautiful.

It's always interesting to see the behind-the-scenes stuff. Do you draw 1:1 scale?

Love seeing the process stuff. B

2009-07-30T11:28:50.315-04:00

I agree - not that I always mind the snarling zombies, but I've always preferred the lost, aimless, shambling zombies, whether flesh-eating or old school voodoo created. There's a sad, lost quality to them, as though they'll be eternally searching for something they'll never find.

It's a challenge. Zombies always get portrayed as ...

2009-07-24T14:45:54.084-04:00

It's a challenge. Zombies always get portrayed as snarling, bloodthirsty beasts. I just think of them as misbegotten.

2009-07-22T09:01:28.911-04:00

Love that zombie, Bob! You really caught the horrible pathos of the thing. Beautiful work.

Congrats, duder. That's awesome. Nice drawing too. It seems to be in a somewhat more realistic style, which is interesting. Enjoyed the most recent Inkstuds interview as well. Those fellows can be painfully awkward, though endearing.

2009-06-12T13:29:20.806-04:00

Thanks, Phil.

I read that review (I get Google Alerts on FTA), and was struck by how nice it was and also by what an unexpected place it was to be reviewed.

I'd be happy to sign it, but my originals do not come cheap.

I hope you enjoy the forthcoming five issues of FTA.

Hi,

You are a genius who I just discovered for myself. Here is my Blogs Review on "From the Ashes"
www.giftsandfreeadvice.com/free_advice/cbs-jericho-meets-always-sunny-in-philadelphia-“from-the-ashes”/
The blog has close to 90,000 unique readers each month which is pretty good after 8 months.

I just bought "Recess Pieces" and the art is incredible and am buying as many of your TPB's as I can and plan to write another Blog Post on you listing your books. I'm sorry I didn't hear of you till now but I only rediscovered comic books 2 years ago.

Do you sell (cheaply)any of your comic art and/or can I get you to autograph "From the Ashes"?

You Rule,

Phil Hershon

Sorry about the delayed response. Thank you all.

And Shane, yeah. Jesus, it's been ages. I still rue the fact that the third issue of Rock 'N' Roll High School never came out. That was the best one. I wonder if there's any way to acquire the rights back to that material and release it in black and white in book form.
