Footprints Script/Final Art Comparison – Part 1

In an effort to put worthwhile content on this blog that’s not entirely self-promotion, I thought I’d give a look at the process behind the making of Footprints and hopefully show off the nature of the collaboration between Jonathan and I. While I’m going to initially be using pages from Footprints #1 since it’s been available to read for free for quite some time, there were a lot of great instances of a sound partnership in the later issues, as Jonathan and I became better collaborators and, perhaps more importantly, friends. If this is something that might interest you as a fellow creator or just curious party, please read on!

Something New

So, obviously I haven’t updated here in a while. It’s been a stressful few months, for a multitude of reasons, none of which will I bore you with. That said, projects have come and gone and things have been shuffled around a great deal. I am, however, working on some exciting stuff that you may or may not ever read, but they are happening nonetheless. For starters, I’ve started working on something new with artist Sean Von Gorman, which you’ll see is quite different from Footprints. Here’s an early cover image:

I’m unsure if I’ll post anything beyond this cover until some sort of plan is finalized, but it’s something I’m excited for and has been a nice change of pace for me. There are some other things coming up for me as well, which you will hopefully hear about in due time.

But contrary to reports, no, I am not dead.

Footprints Honorable Mention in USA Today’s ‘Best of 2011’

I’m about to type a sentence I didn’t think I would be:

FOOTPRINTS was given an honorable mention in USA Today‘s Best of 2011 feature in the “Best Comic You Might Not Be Reading” category. Holy crap! Not to mention that we’re mentioned alongside some of my favorite indie books at the moment (all of them from Image Comics)  — Kurtis Wiebe and Riley Rossimo’s Green Wake, Joshua Fialkov and Brent Peeples’ Last of the Greats, and the winner: Mark Andrew Smith and Armand Villavert’s Gladstone’s School for World Conquerors.

I’m honored and elated to be listed alongside these folks and I hope this inspires some people to check out our book. Speaking of which, there’s only one week left to pre-order the Footprints trade paperback, so if you haven’t done it yet, tell your LCS! We’re in the Previews catalog on page 321, or you can order us online from Midtown Comics, TFAW, or any other online comics retailer.

Thanks to everyone for all of their support this year; here’s hoping 2012 will be even bigger!
