And another one. This is fun! A bit of serendipity that the two O’s in HYPNOPOTAMUS look like eyes.
Rhinosferatu T-shirt Design
Here is a low res version of the Rhinosferatu t-shirt I’m working on for one of my nephew-in-laws:
I also will be doing one for Shaolin Monkey, Hypnopotamus, and BABOOM!
If you’re interested in picking up a shirt for yourself lemme know!
Astromandrill Again
Last night I took a short break from Reggietown when I was inspired to work on WWFJ. It took about 45 minutes but I finally got a sketch of Astromandrill that I am happy with. For some reason all of my previous attempts felt really flat. Here’s the newest–sketchy but properly cartoony.

Here’s a sketch of the newest addition to Flock of Evil – one of the villainous teams from the world of…
Incidentally I created a gallery of WWFJ on Facebook if you are into that sort of thing. Click here to view it.
Baboom Mark II
V-Con Day One was today. The Artist Alley is “tucked away” from almost all the other things to do and see at the convention. To say that the artists are disappointed would be an understatement. Ironically I think I sold the most amount of stuff – 2 CDs, 2 books and some buttons. There were no line-ups at the Camille D’errico table, and that’s saying something. Hopefully things will be better tomorrow.
But the good news is I got some drawing in. Here’s the new draft of Baboom for World Wildlife Federation of Justice. The reason he’s orange is because that’s the only coloured pen I brought with me, although I do kind of like it.
You will notice he is missing his tail. Well I’m sure there’s a good reason for that.
Word Under the Street 2009
The letter I got from Word on the Street said that load in was from 8am-9:30am, which I thought was ridiculous considering the book & magazine festival didn’t start until 11. Obviously a lot of other people did too since I got there at 9:30 and only a couple other tables were set up.
I set my table up with some shirts, the Cloudscape anthologies with my comics in them, Spaceship Zero RPGs, Thickets CDs, giant squid lightswitch covers, and of course the ever-popular pinback buttons. I made my table rental & cab fare back and then some, so I consider it a success. Doubly so because the only RPG I sold was to a 13-year old kid who ONLY had enough money to buy one thing and that was it. That was inspiring.
The annoying thing about the venue was that the panels were, while generally interested, really loud and disruptive towards all of the vendors. I do think that the panels drew in some more potential customers though so it was a trade off.
I also met the owner of the Captain Carrot yahoo fan group “Doc Quantum” who I was astonished to learn lives in Burnaby. I’ve been a member of the group for a couple years now and post my World Wildlife Federation of Justice updates on there. The files section alone is a goldmine for Captain Carrot & His Amazing Zoo Crew fants. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/zoocrewonearthc/
Thanks to everyone who came to my table. See you NEXT weekend at V-Con!!!
Baboom First Draft
WWFJ: Tarmadillo
Real Name: Harry Longnose
Identity: public (not generally known)
Group Affiliation: D.E.W.C.L.A.W. (Dominating Everyone With Chaos, Lawlessness And War)
First Appearance: (as Harry Longnose) TALES TO ENTHRALL #4; (as Tarmadillo) THE WORLD WILDLIFE FEDERATION OF JUSTICE #30
Quote: “Raghr! I’ll kill you!”
Personality: Manic-depressive. Psychotic.
Powers & Tactics: In addition to having a seemingly limitless life span, Tarmadillo’s flesh has been infused with unnatural bog mud which puts him in a semi-fluid state at all times. He enjoys overrunning his opponents and consuming them in his sticky bulk (leading to suffocation) but when less lucid he falls back on simple pummelling with his stretchable limbs.
