Issue #3 in the works

2012-02-01T11:10:00.000-05:00

I am 3 pages into the new issue of Castle and Wood (soon to be posted). Its looking really good and its shooting out of my brain and hands lickity split. I have been really inspired by the pages of Donald Duck and Tin Tin lately, so watch for more action on every page. Also I am pleased to announce that I have Daniel Mitchell (TEETH and ICBIAL) Cowriting this issue with me.

This Mark Trail comic is sort of a hint at this issues plot.

I mailed the base of this drawing to Robert Hardgrave over a year ago for a inky collaboration and he just posted the completed drawing on his Flickr. He's one of my favorites and he's always making stuff that surprises me.
