Haven't posted in a long while. Just been recovering from The work I did on Jolly Holly. I will be posting some brand new Superback art very soon, as well as other super secret stuff I have been cooking up! So, take heart true believers because the artist is sending more action your way soon! Goofy? yeah, I know,how I roll! but that's just

Superback! ba-by!

Super quick, Superback post. Didn't want to go to long without posting. More to follow, and more often, too. (Hopefully.)

True story!

This happened to me once... I totally freaked out, but it's okay. The whole experience allowed me to make this animated documentary as a way of coping, and making peace with the most horrific moments of my life, ala "Waltz with Bashir." I now share those moments with you... this is "crazy squid guy"

Expression

In my last post I related my obsession with this character, The Mighty SUPERBACK! Today, I want to give a few words and thoughts to the fuel of the obsession, that is, not the character himself, but the ability he gives me to express and relive in the most self satisfying way, the level of smelly, dirty, sweaty, power and exhaustion that came with suiting up in the very same sort of armor... gripping the dark turf, bent and poised like the drawn hammer of a gun. Waiting to unleash the terrible noise and fury of the strife that forged our very existence! Colliding with ourselves over the very earth that we all must share, expending valuable life force over mere yards, feet, inches! Experiences fast and fleeting, yet so profound I will seek the means to relate them for the rest of my life... While glorifying ritual violence is our national past time, expressing these feelings of fear and determination, is what truly makes me free. Expression.

Enjoy the pic

Words of Encouragement

Been a whirlwind Summer and I have been super busy with the release of Age Of Insects Book three, San Diego Comic Con 2008 and most currently trying to push out the pages for Age Of Insects Book four. In spite of this hectic schedule I have managed to complete my script for Superback Issue one, I have even done thumbnail layouts for 20 pages of what will likely be a 24 or 28 page book... depending on how long I "draw out" the fight scene. (That was a bad pun, I apologize.)Above is a very rough thumbnail of Superback in action. It was originally drawn at 2.75"inches x4.25"inches! Pretty small!!

Also... I found a Blog called the Spirit of Jake Plummer which had a post that dated back to Last November and it was all about a comic book super hero/Football dream team where they placed well known Super Heroes into the different Football team positions based on the four color icon's fictional attributes... it was quite fun and the ensuing conversation and enthusiasm for the football/comic book idea was really quite encouraging to me as a creator and football/ superhero fan. here is the post.



So my quest to self publish my own Super hero Football Player soldiers on. Check back for more news on the progress of this soon to be grid iron comic book football phenomenon!!!
