This is the page underneath the torn-paper page I posted on July 25, 2016. It’s what you would have seen part of if I hadn’t placed a sheet of white paper underneath the torn-paper page. Oh Hell, I’ll show you what it would have looked like. Here it is.
This is another 2-for-one day, riffing on the same basic composition, exploring how to simplify my subject matter.
My newly acknowledged freedom in delineating female flesh on January 5th’s entry (drawn on January 5, 2013) lead me to study the work of Wally Wood, who was very good at drawing distaff tush. This is crudely copied from one of his later works, pornographic adaptations of various fairy tales published in “Gang Bang”.
It was around this time that I realized that my self-assignment of drawing a derriere every day didn’t necessarily restrict me to male butts.
One of the realities in working on such crappy paper is that paint bleeds through to the other sides as it wrinkles the page. It would be counter-productive not to use this in the creative process. In a way it’s sort of liberating; I don’t have to worry about whether or not the drawing is good because the crappy paper makes that impossible anyway.
Prism Comics will have a booth at Comic-Con International this year. I and a number of other LGBT cartoonists will be renting space at the booth for the weekend. To keep costs for us cartoonist down, Zan Christiansen has set up a Kickstarter page to try and raise $ for the booth. The more money one donates, the more swag one will get. I myself will be donating copies of True Adult Fantasy #1, as well as a free sketch, done on the spot, to anybody who comes to the booth with proof that they donated!
Check out the page and be generous! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zan/bring-lgbt-comics-creators-to-san-diego
