Hey! So I gotta tell you all about my new gig. I’m drawing Haunt for Image comics, I am STILL the artist for Invincible. I have an inker for BOTH titles so that way I can keep them both on time. Robert Kirkman is writing Haunt, Greg Capullo is doing layouts which speeds things up for me on pencils. And Todd McFarlane is doing digital inks, he’s also doing covers. Full info and interviews about it HERE!
Now you need to know that when I was a kid I had a huge crush on the stylistic lines of Todd McFarlane. I thought he was the BEST artist ever and I always wanted to draw comics because of the energy he brought to a page, and I wanted to bring that kind of energy to my art someday, seriously as soon as I saw Todd’s art it became a dream job to someday draw comics. So if my 16 year old self could see that I was working WITH Todd McFarlane NOW, my 16 year old bladder would probably release itself instantly. Just so you know what a McFarlane geek I was, here’s a photo of me at 16. Yes, my room was plastered with art that I copied from Todd’s and I signed my name to them passing them off as my own. heh.

When I got this new gig I did some Haunt sketches and mock covers just to try and get a hang of drawing this guy. I wanted to get a feel for how I would draw him, which is differently from how Todd does it. But I want to draw it in a way I’ll have fun doing it. And so far this stuff is tons of fun.


Thanks!
Ryan
