As I type today’s #SundaySteveWillis entry, I just got the Steve Willis Phoenix Masters minicomics off to him in the (snail) mail yesterday. So I’m in a bit of a limbo, which is fine because Steve has gifted me PLENTY of material to share. Today, we’re going uber-niche: Morty Comix using color! Background on MortyContinue reading “#SundaySteveWillis – Morty Comix IN COLOR”

#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 ofContinue reading “#NobleHeadFriday – More Edward Bolman art and cartooning!”

#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 toContinue reading “#HumpdayHutchinsons – Daryl sent some cartoons!”
#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 aContinue reading “#NobleHeadFriday – Some of Edward’s original art”
#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!Continue reading “#HumpdayHutchinsons – The first Phoenix Masters minicomics!”
#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?Continue reading “#SundaySteveWillis – Just one photo (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: SuchContinue reading “#NobleHeadFriday – Bolman’s favorite piece?”

Broken Frontier reviews Joe’s Comix: WILD KINGDOM
Zine enthusiast Gary Usher kindly took a look at Phoenix Masters Joe & Daryl Hutchinson’s Joe’s Comix: WILD KINGDOM collection at Broken Frontier, and it looks like he enjoyed it! Joe Hutchinson’s mini-comics also touch on absurdity in a humorous way, but with a horror (or disturbing) element clouding every story. This book, however, isContinue reading “Broken Frontier reviews Joe’s Comix: WILD KINGDOM”
