Big Tall Trekkers

Star Trek Captains, from left to right: Kirk, Picard, Sisko, Janeway and Archer.

These big fat personal sketch card commissions measure 2 1/2 x 4 3/4 inches and were drawn on Strathmore cold press 100lb paper with Micron pens and Prismacolor markers.

You can watch a recording of me coloring these cards on my Ustream channel HERE.

The buyer of these cards will be framing them together along with an upcoming Star Trek digital commission. Join my in the Otis Frampton Live chat room on September 29th to watch the digital commission being colored!

Otis Frampton Live Schedule Changes

When I begin working on pages for my new comic project my workload will double overnight. So starting next week I will introduce a new Otis Frampton Live schedule that will better serve my new responsibilities.

The changes to the regular schedule will come in two forms:

• 7-7-Sunday will now be a bi-weekly event. Every other Sunday I will do two shows, one at 6PM CST and one at 9PM CST. So the number chances you have to win a 7-7-Sunday commission will remain the same, but I will now be taking every other Sunday off to allow for extra time to work on other projects. The new 7-7-Sunday schedule will begin immediately, there will be no show this Sunday.
• The regular Monday-Friday Otis Frampton Live show will now begin at 8PM CST. In some ways, this is actually a change back to the schedule I had before I moved to Minnesesota. So for everyone who liked watching me from 9PM-Midnight EST, things are back to "normal". The new 8PM CST start time will begin on September 27th.

I also plan to do random daytime shows here and there so people can watch me working on certain panels of my new comic project. I'm not going to be showing full pages (we don't want to give away the store), but I want people to be able to watch me work on an actual comic and ask questions about the process if they have any.

And last but not least . . . I plan to take some time off between sketch card sales. The last cards from the Big Fat & Tall Sketch Card Sale 6 will be drawn on September 24th. The next sale will begin two weeks later on October 9th.

I hope that everyone joins me in the chat room to either watch their commissions being drawn or to watch me work on my new comic project!

Otis Frampton's Labor Week

As some of you know I've started work on a new comic project for another writer. I will be providing the art for this new series that we hope will be picked up by his current publisher. I look forward to talking more about this project, so watch this space for more info.

That being said, I want to start working on the actual pages for the comic next week, which means that I need to clear the decks of sketch card and commission work that I've fallen behind on completing so that I can free up my mornings for comic book work.

So . . .

I have packed my Ustream schedule with extra showtime to make myself finish this work. Which means that if you are waiting for me to finish a sketch card or a commission that has been on the schedule prior to this week but has yet to be finished, this is your week. The wait is over. Otis Frampton's Labor Week has begun.

Go HERE to see the revised Otis Frampton Live schedule for the week.

See you in the chat room!

Another Otis Frampton Live Schedule Change

As some of you know (those of you who suffered through my whining the last few days on my artcast) the cut on my wrist isn't healing. And drawing, be it digital or marker work, is simply aggravating the wound and keeping it from getting any better. So I've decided to take a few days off once again to let it heal so that I can get back to work at full speed and not have to have my hand amputated. Not only is my commission work suffering due to this injury, but I'm at risk of blowing my deadline on the Clone Wars: Rise of the Bounty Hunter sketch cards if I don't get better ASAP.

That being said, I've adjusted my schedule again to give me some time to heal. Go HERE to see the revised schedule. I've done my best to inconvenience as few of my customers as possible by eliminating the time off I had planned for the first week in September.

Thank you all for your patience and for your encouragement that I take care of this as needed.

Artcast Schedule Change Due To Injury (and Stupidity)

As some of you know, I injured myself yesterday. It was not my finest moment and I look forward to sharing the story on my artcast.

That being said . . .

I haven't healed as quickly as I'd hoped. The cut to my wrist and the pain in my chest is keeping me from sitting upright in the position that I need to be to work on my Cintiq. So I need to cancel the next two night's artcasts (both digital commissions) and reschedule them. This means that I need to alter my schedule for the remainer of August to accommodate these canceled shows.

So . . . if you had a commission scheduled for August, that date has been changed. Please go HERE to see the revised Otis Frampton Live schedule.

I apologize, but I'm just not physically able to do the work right now.

See you on Sunday!

-Otis

P.S. I took photos of my wrist injury. I'd love to show the world, because it looks like I have a detachable hand, but I'll refrain from grossing everyone out.
