I've been teasing out bits and pieces of information about a new comic project I've been ramping up on and it's time to spill the beans . . .
A couple of months ago Josh Howard, creator of Dead@17 (Image Comics) asked me if I'd like to collaborate on a comic project and I said "yes". Josh created and is writing the 4-issue mini-series. I'll be handling the art chores and doing the lettering as well.
The series is titled Starship Kansas.
I probably would have agreed to work on something with Josh even if I'd been lukewarm on the concept, but when he pitched me the idea I couldn't believe my luck. I loved the idea immediately. The premise of this series is right up my alley in every way and I can't wait for people to read it.
I intend to keep people up to date on the progress of the comic here, on Twitter/Facebook and I even plan to work on certain pages/panels on my Ustream artcast.
I just finished the page roughs and lettering last night on the first issue. Issue #1 will clock in at 29 pages:
I'm hoping to finish the first issue in two months. Since I'm drawing and coloring the book (with digitally painted backgrounds like my digital commissions), it will probably take that long to do so.
I'd like to thank Josh for asking me to work on this project. It's been a fun collaboration so far and I can't wait to start working on pages. I'd also like to thank my pal and coloring assistant George for signing on for another project. Every comic artist should have a flatter like George.
Stay tuned for more info!
Now, back to work . . .

I'll be hosting my fifth Digital Auction this Saturday (September 25th) on my Ustream artcast. This new auction features a scene from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Here is the digital rough for the piece:
The piece will show Gandalf and the Balrog facing off on the Bridge of Khazad-dûm.
As with the last four Digital Auctions, bidding will start at the beginning of the show when I start coloring the piece live, and it will end when I feel that there are no more incoming bids. The bidding for this piece will start at $30.19 (3019 being the year in the Middle Earth time line when this event took place). You must be registered with Ustream to participate in the chat room bidding.
The winning bidder will receive the original line art (drawn on 7.5"x14" Bristol) and a disc containing high resolution files for printing, just like my normal Big Fat Digital Commissions.
The bidding begins at 9:00PM CST on my artcast. I hope to see you there!-Otis
