Herve is back! oh the visuals in my head of this evil mass crawling down the cellar stairs (this comic is far more "cartoony" than my brain)... What is it with edible celebrities anyways?

blergh I almost had this page done and uploaded three days ago but little things kept getting in the way, very obnoxious. Skip you "little things", BAH!

I'm excited about the Uncommon Nonsense Artshow coming August 26th at Club Inferno. I think...with my increasingly busied schedule... I'll only have roughly two weeks to do two canvas paintings to throw into the galla'... T o T VIVE La' Art!!! I can't wait to see all the displays from various artists! Big Thanks to Jodi Dunham, Apollo, and Karcus for letting me in on the whole shibang. The Blue Lotus Tattoo & Piercing Lounge Annual Art Showcase was a classy good time.

Hey all,
Blegh so another lag in the mediums of time and space after moving to a new apartment with no internets! grrr. This will be the wrap up of the Belfry Twins for the first volume of Gothology. Available at http://www.indyplanet.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=2367 If you didn't catch which one is blind or deaf, Isobelle (the one with light eyes/white) is blind and Annabelle (dark/black) is deaf. Though its pretty amusing to not know the difference. I'm hoping they will return in the next volume of Gothology: Misery loves company.

So hopefully I'm heading down to Chicago for Wizard World Con with Annalise and a meester web guru Lie~ahn come August 6-9. Dapshow is supposedly pimpin the first Gothology to distributors and what not and I felt as if I should swoop in and tap them on the noggin for no apparent reason. Also I'd like to get my picture taken with Gary Coleman lolz. But hopefully I'll run into some familiar faces and meet maybe I dunno some of you guys from DD who are attending. That'd be awesome. :D I'd bring a portfolio to show around but I'm out of printing ink so I'll just be bringing signed prints (ya never know).

Meanwhiles Tarts4Life.com is starting up... I'm not really sure what it's supposed to be overall. I know that Annalise and I have been into personal comics since... god what middleschool? We thought of putting together a sort of central hub for our projects and try to keep a live-update feed as frequent as possible, even if its just little twitter-blurbs to track us down when we're not working. For me I know its going to be a comic-book portfolio, featuring our own full color Anthology titled "OlIO" which consists of many random could-not be full comics since we have a ton of those. Right now I'm still not sure where we're going with this all I know is that its taking up ze lot of my precious time! D :

I always feel bad when my work isn't created under the best of conditions. It looks however it does physically but to me I remember what it was like creating it. For the Belfry Twins I ended up falling in a weeks deadline. Which is fine, I'm used to tight deadlines and I work well under pressure. HOWEVER, I had a serious cold and was running a fever painting and repainting my last few pages right down to the date. It was a real pain having to paint one stroke and then put down my brush and pick up a kleenex to wipe my nose every so many seconds.

Some of you may have noticed the look of Belfry Twins somewhat resemble paper dolls with old film lighting. This was a technique I first kind of developed with a project called Dream Pocket and working closely with my friend, Annalise "McFanny". Who is probably responsible for the paper doll bit from our previous collabs.

so someone might wonder, "how can the deaf one hear?" and this came up in discussion during the brainstorm... that she may not be deaf but rather she only hears what she wants to. This was also a play on the fact that they are conjoined twins. We played with the idea that one of them could have a thought and the other would be complimentary to that. (or contradictory) Hence the twins can have an argument with each other like when one person debates with themself.
