ZOMBIE NINJA SNOWMAN 2

LOVE INTERESTS

I think every character should have some kind love interest. If you are wondering what exactly she is,

she is supposed to be a mojito. Thus the name MONICA MOJITO..... I had one once and it tasted really good.

I thought as a girlfriend for BOOKFACE she could spill all over his pages and make em all wrinkle-y.

I cant wait to start drawing this book!!!

Monica Mojito

In the search for BOOKFACES natural enemies
the first thing that came to mind is that books get wet they are ruined. then as i came up with other more dangerous nemeses i figured the liquid chick would make a nice love interest for my boy BOOKFACE.

POP-GUN

When tryin to come up with some kind of back story for mr. FACE I decided he should be a private detective. I then decided he needed a weapon. I thought of the folded paper guns we used to make in grade school. Once I came up with that the title of the one-shot Im gonna put him in popped up.

PAPERBULLETS!!!!

BOOKFACE!!!

Yeah, I realize this sketch was up here already.

As an artist Im crazy about some things that go on with my art. I noticed some stuff about the first sketch that I didnt like so I modified it and this is the new piece.

To those new folks, this is Bookface. A character created for my facebook page.

I didnt wanna put my goofy mug up there so I came up with this guy.

Im coming up with a story for him as we speak...

FINALLY....

This awesome piece was done by Brian Roll of ODYSSEY ART.NET He does extraordinary work and captured ultimo perfectly.....

It has been a couple of years since I came up with the concept for COCKERS. For any new AOP fans out there lemme break down the history of these 2 titles.

I started with Bailey the scented wonder and Blitzen the lightning hound and rounded out the duo and made it a trio with Ultimo the ultra hound.

The original title COCKERS began as a 52 page pencil sketcth book. No ink, no color. After showing it to friends and pros alike the consensus was that I should ink and color it. I then enlisted the help of my highschool friend Katastrophe who is a photoshop wizard with color. By the time she was half way done coloring I had come up with 52 more pages and we added them together. After it was colored and lettered by REDWOLFS Marc Adona I realized I didnt have the money to print this 104 page monster.

That is when I came up with the concept of ULTIMO TALES.

ULTIMO TALES which on a timeline of events would occur before COCKERS.
I would also print it in 24to31 pages and in black and white because it was cheaper and flashbacks are usually done in black and white. I asked Katastrophe once again to come out of hiding to do the grey scale tonal seperations for ULTIMO TALES and she did issues one and two which are also available from comixpress or if you see me at this years BALTIMORE-CON!!!

I ended up taking the advice of a couple of friends who had suggested I could break the full color COCKERS novel into 4 smaller books since I had so many pages. It would be cheaper to print and I would have for issues of story before I had to jump to COCKERS volume 2. Sooooo I finally took the advice and chopped up the novel and now I have 1 issue of COCKERS and 2 issues of ULTIMO TALES in print. (no applause please, just by my books)

Thanks, Happy Fathers Day to any fathers out there!!!
