CC Samples 18 and News

G-Nib & Ink

This is the last sample from my Cartoon College illustrations. I've pretty much posted everything except for a couple panels. Not sure if I'm going to post the color versions one at a time or all at once, but that will come next week probably.

In other news I was included in The Best American Comics 2009's Notable Comics List for my Untitled (Caveman) story. Also in the list were several of my buddies' comics, including:

Steve Bisette, “Secrets & Lies, Windows & Wounds” Secrets and Lies #7
Ken Dahl, “Gordon Smalls Hurts Himself” from Welcome to the Dahl House
Sean Ford, Only Skin Issue 2 Fall 2007 and Only Skin Issue 3
Charles Forsman, Snake Oil 01 2008 and Snake Oil 02
Alexis Frederick-Frost, “Letter” from 3 Stories
James Sturm, Satchel Paige: Striking Out Jim Crow

It was a very cool year (or couple of years) for good comics. I'm proud to be on the list with such good company. My thanks to the BAC editors.

More news:


Sean Ford's excellent comic series, Only Skin, will be collected and published by Secret Acres in 2011 (issue 5 sample above). In the meantime, issue 4 debuted last fall. Pick it up if you haven't already!


Alt-comics champ and super nice guy, Rich Tommaso, has a brand new website where he will be posting pages of comics (sample above) every day, five days a week!
Rich is immensely talented. A few years ago I had the opportunity to add the gray tones to Rich's art for the Satchel Paige biography that he illustrated and James Sturm wrote. Getting to spend 40-50 pages staring at Rich's beautiful cartooning was an awesome way to spend internship hours and I really appreciate the experience. I wish you the best Rich, and look forward to the comics!
