#NobleHeadFriday – More Edward Bolman art and cartooning!

Last week’s #NobleHeadFriday was so much fun – looking at Edward Bolman cartoons and artwork – that I thought I’d share some more of his work. Enjoy! Again, these are largely unadjusted scans. Some gems in there that show off Bolman’s skill and endless imagination! Remember, Edward sent me these pieces (and a bunch of…

Show Me Your INK at Zinecinnati

The excitement is building for Zinecinnati, the next stop on the Phoenix Productions Fall Tour!  I’m looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday, October 17 at ARCO Cincy from Noon-5pm.  But let’s sweeten the deal, shall we? If you Show Me Your INK at Zinecinnati – buy a comic or graphic novel from INK/Indie Northern…

#HumpdayHutchinsons – Daryl sent some cartoons!

We’re on a bit of an original art kick here at Phoenix Productions, so let’s keep the good times rolling with some cartoons sent to me by Daryl Hutchinson! We generally know Daryl for his stunning, intricately illustrated pieces filled with complex shading and lifelike realism. But did you know that the man likes to…

#SundaySteveWillis – Steve’s First Five minis

We’re right around three weeks out until Zinecinnati, so I thought I would use today’s #SundaySteveWillis to share with everyone the first five of Steve Willis’s minicomics for treatment as Phoenix Masters minicomics. They are: They are: Asteroid 1997 XF11 Lordy Lordy, Where’s Mr. Morty? Monkey Trap Dante’s Coat The Tall Elf And while there…

#NobleHeadFriday – Some of Edward’s original art

On this #NobleHeadFriday, I’m stepping back from Noble Head Funnies (but get it, it’s FANTASTIC) and instead sharing a small handful of the original art that Edward has sent me since starting this Phoenix Masters project. These are fast scans, only cropped with no touchups. While that’s a bit crude, it also gives you a…

#HumpdayHutchinsons – The first Phoenix Masters minicomics!

On this #HumpdayHutchinsons entry, I think it’s wisest to skip the typing and go straight to the video: As you can see, we’re going much further than the Hutchinsons, but I’m so thrilled to start with Daryl. His work has been integral to the Joe’s Comix projects, but he’s been so darned selfless about it!…

#SundaySteveWillis – Just one photo (What does this mean?)

Things have been afoot here in the Phoenix Productions skunkworks, and Phoenix Master Steve Willis is hip-deep in it all. (So what’s new?) What it boils down to, at this point, is this photo… While not quite a double rainbow, it’s worth asking the ultimate question out of that viral video: What does this mean?…

#NobleHeadFriday – Bolman’s favorite piece?

We’re up to issue five of Noble Head Funnies, the Edward Bolman/J.P. Noel minicomic series that serves as the foundation of the Phoenix Masters Noble Head Funnies collected edition (plus some more!). When I looked through the issue, trying to figure out what to share, one particular page hit me. It was this one: Such…

#HumpdayHutchinsons – Joe hits the big time!

The Hutchinson Brothers and I are still buzzing over the great review of Joe’s Comix: WILD KINGDOM at Broken Frontier…wow. If you haven’t read it yet, go do so. I can’t properly express my happiness over a reviewer who really “gets” the wild cartooning of Joe Hutchinson…and then offers appropriate appreciation for the technical work…

#SundaySteveWillis – Let’s Make A Meal!

Today’s #SundaySteveWillis entry has Phoenix Master Steve at the fullest extent of his powers, combining 60s/70s pop culture with his amazing cast of characters (plus a celebrity guest!) and his unmistakable cartooning genius. It’s a tale that takes up the entirety of Cranium Frenzy #32…here are the first four pages to whet your appetite, so…
