Yesterday I had to take my computer to the repair shop to figure out whats wrong with it. I’m suspecting the hard drive is failing. but we’ll see what the repair man says.
in the meantime, I’ve decided to challenge myself by going on a strict desktop computer diet by using nothing more then an iPad to create my art. so far, so good.
I realize that it’s difficult to do the things I easily did on my desktop with an iPad (especially when it comes to creating high resolution comics and art for print), but I’m realizing that for anyone who wants to do art strictly for the web (be it a webcomic or just art in general), the iPad is more then capable of being a great Artist’s tool with the abundance of Apps out there.
One App in particular is Procreate. I just find this App so amazing and if you own an iPad, I highly recommend it. Here’s an image of Frank Rain I sketched and inked in Procreate.
Oh, and BTW, I wrote and posted this post on the iPad too 
I’ve added a new Webcomics section to the site which I hope to fill. You can read Ouch! and a new comic strip in which I kind of review the Avengers movie. And hopefully, there will be more to come
Free Comic Book Day was great. Loved seeing a lot of familiar faces from past events as well as new ones. I had a blast selling prints, art books and doing free sketches. Bellow are most of the sketch cards I worked on (I say most because I forgot to snap pictures of a few during the day).
Thanks to all who made it out. The event was awesome.
Reminder that tomorrow, May 5, 2012, I’ll be at That’s Entertainment in Worcester MA. doing free sketch card sketches from 10AM to 6PM. This will be my 3rd year in attendance at That’s Entertainment and hopefully, not the last, as the guys at the shop are amazing Hosts and the environment is fantastic. So if you’re in the area, come on down and grab a few free comics, and get some free sketches from myself and the other Artist’s in attendance. I’ll also be selling a limited quantity of Prints.
There are Mac apps I love. And then there are Mac apps I REALLY LOVE. Alfred app is one of those. Here’s a short video demonstrating why I love the app.
