Fan Expo 2010 has come and gone. It was a strange show this year. The whole thing seemed extremely disorganized. Friday we arrived at 4:00 pm and were continually misdirected by security and volunteer staff on how to actually get into the convention floor. Turned out that in order to pick up our exhibitor badge [...]

Here is a “behind the scenes” look at the making of SPY GUY #1 Page 7. This one is interesting not only because it is the “hook” for issue 1, but it also contains the very first gag ever created for Spy Guy. Back around 2004 I got to thinking that every comic book should [...]

Here on Page 6 the action ends, and we start getting into intensive dialog and character interaction. Something I always find difficult to write for comics. However on this page I’ve started experimenting with writing the dialog on post-it notes, taking the cue from they way they used to do storyboards in these parts for [...]

Friday came around… no comics. When I checked online and saw that the expected “over-night” delivery was going to be Monday at 5:00 pm I got more than a little worried. Erika did some detective work while I was at the con, and managed to find out that the comics could be here between 12:00 [...]

Not long ago I received this great sketch in the mail by none other than Troy Little; creator of Chiaroscuro (now a hit graphic novel published by IDW) and co-creator of Angora Napkin (not only a graphic novel, but also a new cartoon by Teletoon). Be sure to check out his stuff over at Meanwhile [...]

Last Sunday was the annual Word On The Street festival in Toronto, and despite calls for rain, the day ended up being warm and sunny. Once again Ultraist Studios was in attendance with Possum Press, and this year we debuted the SPY GUY and The POSSUM Superhero Movie cut-out stand-ups for the first time ever, [...]
