Dumm Comics Dot Com!!!



I'm super excited to announce a brand new adventure I'm partaking in! It's a website that features daily comic strips by some of my good friends and myself. Each of us gets a day of the week to share our strip with all the fine folks on the internet. Here's the breakdown...

Monday is Gabe Swarr's Big Pants Mouse
Tuesday is Sean Szeles' Through the Port-Hole
Wednesday is Katie Rice and Luke Cormican's Skadi
Thursday is Ricky Garduno's 1930 Nightmare Theatre
and Friday is Earthward-Ho! by me.

Not to be left out is the amazing Matt Gadbois who has done a great job at building our website.

You can check it out right now by going to
www.dummcomics.com


This here is Sam, he's the main character of the strip. Sam is obsessed with all things outer space. When he's not being abducted by aliens he's looking through his telescope searching for them.





This is a typical "eyball headed alien" that can be seen in this weeks strip...



And finally here is a glimpse at an alien which will be making an appearance in upcoming strips...

El Tigre!

I have the best job in the World, or at least that's what most of my co-workers tell me. When I get scenes like this to layout it's hard to disagree with them. This particular scene is from the episode "The Mother of all Tigres" storyboarded by the amazing Eddie Trigueros. The cartoon is called El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera and it's produced and created by my super talented pals Jorge Gutierrez and Sandra Equihua. It airs Saturday mornings(check you local listings)on Nickelodeon.

A random variety of sprinklings....

horton cont....

All of these drawings for the Horton test were done on my tablet pc in either painter or sketchbook pro....






Horton....






A while back I was offered a storyboard test from the fine folks at Bluesky in New York for their upcoming Horton feature. The project sounded very cool, here's a character I really liked from not only the Seuss books but also the Jones and Clampett cartoons. Unfortunately the timing wasn't right. I was (and am still currently) working at a job I really like, so I had to respectfully decline. So they came back to me and suggested they could work around my schedule and that I could possibly be brought on doing freelance from home and would I please reconsider. I said that I would think it over. Finally I agreed that if my schedule permited I would at least take the test. Unfortunately, things at work got pretty crazy, in a busy, good kinda way and I was not able to complete the test. I did however do a bunch of little thumbnails and rough sketches for the test and thought I'd share some of those drawings here.
