			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As promised, I scanned some of the art I did as prep work for Vapor Trails.  </p>
<p>I&#8217;m still trying to peg down a style for this comic, it&#8217;s definitely more cartoony than the work I&#8217;ve been doing lately.  I&#8217;m trying to get back to my roots I guess, weird animals and people with simpler shapes. </p>
<p>I&#8217;m also working up a site redesign now, so expect some changes to the homestead soon enough.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This blog is swiftly becoming a catalog of <em>Things I Watched Last Night While I Was Drawing</em>.  I will look back in years to come and think &#8220;ohhhh right&#8221;.</p>
<p>Last night it was <a href="http://www.hulu.com/watch/118992/ghost-hunters-international-hitlers-ghost#s-p1-so-i0" target="_blank">Ghost Hunters International&#8217;s big GHOST OF HITLER </a>episode.  Rob and the crew taunted, cajoled, and bragged to the nonexistent Ghost Hitler.  Of course they didn&#8217;t find him because they are retarded and the show is really fake, but at least their nerd-courage in the face of absolutely nothing dangerous made me laugh a few times.</p>
<p>Lindsey and I have a game we play during any of the Ghost Hunting shows, I would recommend you do the same.  Every time someone says &#8220;What the hell was that?&#8221; you try to say it in as many different inflections as possible.  It&#8217;s a surprisingly long-running game.</p>
<p>So that&#8217;s the GHI crew down there, Rob on the left, Joe Chin and his epic fuzzy cockroach chin ornament, and Brandy the goblin.  Oh and the ghost of Adolf Hitler</p>
<div class="full-image">
	<img src="/images/uploads/2010/01/ghi.jpg" alt="what the HELL was that?!" /></p>
<blockquote><p><small class="tooltip"><em>What the HELL was THAT?</em></small></p></blockquote>
</div>
<p>I&#8217;m also sketching some stuff for a short I&#8217;d like to do as an anthology submission.  If you know anybody that is looking for an anthology submission, this one is a doozy.  Promise.</p>
<div class="full-image">

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>See what I did up there?  Further proof of my brilliance.</p>
<p>Often when I speak with like-minded comicnauts, they ask, &#8220;do you have a small piece of card stock with which I can remember your fanciness?&#8221;.  And I say, &#8220;oh shit no I forgot to make one.&#8221;</p>
<p>Well those days are now over.  I present to you a thing that represents the very essence of Will:</p>
<div class="full-image">
	<img src="/images/uploads/2009/09/buscard.jpg" alt="Ready to get your business on" /></p>
<blockquote><p><small class="tooltip"><em>Yes you can hire me to make you a comic.</em></small></p></blockquote>
</div>
<p>I cannot even tell you how much I wrestled with a freaking 2&#215;3.5 inch piece of artwork.  Ugh.</p>
<p>If you see me at <a href="http://www.longbeachcomiccon.com/" target="_blank">Long Beach Comic Con</a>, make sure to ask me to give you one.  I will consider it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2 things I watched this weekend:</p>
<p><strong>The Maltese Falcon</strong><br />
I don&#8217;t know how in the world I got through my whole life without seeing this movie, but I can now say that 28 years is far too long to wait for such unadulterated excellence.  I was planning on sketching while I watched and ended up swept into Bogart&#8217;s slick-talking ruse.</p>
<p>Mark &#038; Olly: Living with the Machigenga<br />
Ok I&#8217;d actually seen this before (I have all 3 seasons of their <a href="http://www.travelchannel.com/TV_Shows/Mark_and_Olly" target="_blank">FREAKING FANTASTIC show</a>.  Go buy it on iTunes.)  <a href="http://www.markanstice.com/home.htm" target="_blank">Mark Anstice</a> and <a href="http://oliversteeds.com/" target="_blank">Oliver Steeds</a> spend 3 months living with one of the Amazon&#8217;s incredibly remote indigenous tribes.  It&#8217;s all presented in a wonderfully uncluttered manner and it&#8217;s pretty much the closest you get to a good documentary on TV.  Let&#8217;s just say they led an exploratory party into my heart.  So I did this little piece for the <em>jollies of yonder excitmentes</em>.  That&#8217;s English for the fun of it. Trust me I am a master of English people.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Another weekend of sketching and planning.  It&#8217;ll be nice to get on to some real meaty comic work, but this story is complicated and requires a lot of preparations.  </p>
<p>So don&#8217;t blame me for silly posts, blame the story.</p>
<p>I was also doing some more character sketches for the seemingly unending cast of <em><a href="http://willstrode.com/tag/electric/" target="_blank">Codename Operation Electric</a></em> and came up with this.  It only took me about 5 tries and multiple screaming fits to get that pose down, but it turned out cute so I was happy.  Here&#8217;s Trish and her big sister Mimi:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This weekend was moderately productive in terms of both my artwork and my obsessive desire to play video games for long hours on end.  I think moderate is actually being modest, it was exceedingly productive for at least one of those.</p>
<p>In case you don&#8217;t follow it, Goodbye Blue Monday&#8217;s new story arc is going to start today.  We&#8217;ll discover some inner secrets about everybody&#8217;s favorite orange cat, and a big surprise is in the works for Itty.  <a href="http://hi2point5.com/comic">Go catch up if you haven&#8217;t already!</a></p>
<p>Doing some more sketches for the poorly-titled Electric.  This time we&#8217;ve got our classroom hottie Stephanie coming to be that dangerously adorable girl next door.  She&#8217;s the one with all the off-kilter facebook pics and the temper from some hormone-soaked level of hell.  That stuff will still be around 30 years in the future right?  Sure it will.</p>
<p>Have a looksee, and keep an eye out for the next post, where I drop some fanart style shit on your shitty asses.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have an obsession, I know, but I cannot resist the power of beard.  Here&#8217;s a little character sketch of Mushezib (with and without face writing) for <em>El Segundo Diablo</em>.  I&#8217;m experimenting with a few different styles, trying to get a feel for the right one, but it&#8217;s still a little ways off.  My original ESD drawings were much more <a href="/images/uploads/2009/08/oldesd01.jpg">cartoony</a>, <a href="/images/uploads/2009/08/oldesd02.jpg">stylized</a> and <a href="/images/uploads/2009/08/milkishiss.jpg">loose</a>.  Which is great, but the story just isn&#8217;t going down that path anymore.  So a little revamp will help it out.</p>
<p>Also there&#8217;s like a goat or something up there in the left corner and I think he represents fertility or the fall of man.  Something incredibly deep I assure you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sorry for the lack of posts the last couple of weeks, there&#8217;s been a whole lot of writing to do and it&#8217;s sort of hard to post that.  I mean I guess I could take a screenshot of Word while I&#8217;m writing, but it just doesn&#8217;t have the same impact as some artwork.  </p>
<p>I&#8217;ll hit y&#8217;all up this week with some news from around the web and get this blog on a proper start.  Until then, I&#8217;ve been working on my next Zuda entry, a revamp of El Segundo Diablo.  New characters, storyline, it&#8217;s gonna be hot.  Which is not a pun segueing into the next thing, but I drew a summery picture to celebrate the fact that we actually got some summer in LA.</p>
<p>Only then it sort of cooled off again.  But whatever, still summer.  Enjoy!</p>
