Man-Dar DVD!!!

Posted by bradwick on June 24, 2009

Hey guys! Long time no see!

I got a few emails asking about this, So I thought I’d throw up a post real quick. I had about 30 of these things to sell/promote at Heroes con 09

The response has been better than expected and I need to Thank super pals J Chris Campbell and Dollar Bin Adam for hooking up the Friday night viewing party for it. It was the first time anyone has seen all 7 episodes, so I didn’t really know what to expect. But everyone seemed to have a good time and everyone laughed much more than I would have ever expected! The DVD’s had a few little errors like some foley being too low and some missing music in one scene so we’re going through and fixing that stuff now, and we’ll do another pressing next week. I’ll post them up here for sale as soon as I do! they look like this:

Pretty cool huh?

Thanks again to everyone who’s been commenting/asking about it.

I’ve been really busy lately with a bunch of neat stuff, so I’ll try and post some when i get a sec.

Thanks for reading!

The Ancient Age FCBD Preview!

Posted by bradwick on April 24, 2009

Free Comic Book Day is on may 2nd this year, and as always the fine folks over at Wide Awake Press are putting together a big ol’ Free downloadable book.

This year’s book is called “the ancient age” and is looking even more impressive than .  J Chris even made this swank video preview for the fancy thing!

I’ve got a 12 (ulp!) page story all drawn up for the book and I thought I’d share some random unfinished panels with ya.

Drawing in this style is pretty new to me, so I’ve been having to do a TON of under work for the drawings. I’ve been starting off in blue then going back for a second pass in red Which barely cleans it up (as you can see) So most of the tightening up is taking place in the inking stage.

prview-2.jpg

I’m trying to keep the inking as loose as possible To really emphasize the movement since the story is basically one large fight scene. Which was actually a pretty big challenge for me. I’m still not sure how I’ve gotten by all these years without drawing a muscly kinda guy throwing a punch.

Will this experiment turn out well? Will i start inking all my comics with toothbrushes? Will I spend the rest of my days traveling the earth setting fire to every set of eyes that reads the thing?

Find out on May 2nd at www.wideawakepress.com!

(also pick up a copy of by newest book; Tobey Maguire Comics and stories while your there!)

Thanks for reading!

well as comics from a whole load of great cartoonists from all over the World! You can find the entire contributor list here. And you can watch

the magic of comic production happen right before your eyes below:

Big shout out to Adam at the dollar bin for putting that video together with the quickness!

Man-Dar part 2!

Posted by bradwick on March 20, 2009

Hey Gang, I just finished up the 4th episode, so you know what that means? It’s time to post the second one! I had to cut this one down quite a bit and do some re tooling of the other episodes so that they will fit a tighter time constraint when they finally reach theirproper home on the web in the next week or so. So enjoy this tiny episode for now!

Thanks for watching!

Excuses and Crap

Posted by bradwick on March 3, 2009

Oh man! I haven’t posted a web comic in forever! And I doubt I’ll be getting around to it anytime soon, as I have been busy doing comics for a couple of different things. What things you ask? These things I answer!

1. 2009 Fluke anthology!  Me and super pal J Chris Campbell are not only doing comics for this beast (over 80 pages folks!) But we are also editing and doing all the productiony stuffs as well. If you wanna get a copy of this giant sized funny book you better get yer self down to scenic Athens Ga on April 7th for FLUKE 2009 cause that’s just about the only way to get a copy!

2.  WAP FCBDB!  J Chris Campbell savagely beat upon my tender face with his crusty meat hooks until I agreed to do a 12 page comic for him. This annual FCBD (free comic book day) Download is always a good time. So much in fact that every year it gets better and better. You can still download last years right here. It will be available May..um… May something.. I don’t remember what day it’s on this year and I’m too lazy to google it. Just start asking strangers for free comics on May first and I’m sure you’ll figure it out.

Anyway, I’ll be doing some (hopefully) cool ass Greek stuff In the style of this poster I just did last week for my good pal and sound guy John Mickelson.

Doing comics in this style is a new challenge for me. I enjoy drawing in this style but anytime i try and do a comic like this it always looks way too stiff and I get embarrassed, but so far it’s going okay, but I may end up eating these words when I chicken out and go with my original “wacky” idea. I dunno, who cares about that anyway?

I’ll try and get some web comics up again soon. I got a bunch laying around I just haven’t had time to scan/correct and color/uglify them.

Man-Dar Should be up tomorrow. We had a little computer mishap that took us out of the equation for a week and some change. Luckily we recovered everything and I am actually exporting the first episode as i type this. So look for Man-Dar sometime tomorrow!

Here is the third and final installment of my “booger epic”.

Man-dar Intro!

Posted by bradwick on February 9, 2009

This is the intro to an ongoing series we’ve been working on for the past month or so. I thought I would go ahead and post the intro before the first episode hits (next week with any luck from the almighty sound gods!). We’re plugging away on the 3rd episode now, and think it’s really going to be a lot of fun. It’s got loads of monsters and all sorts of 80’s era cartoon crap in it. Enjoy!

Snot Box Episode 2

The sound sucks!

You’re Welcome!
