The muck-encrusted Man-Thing!

2011-06-26T06:42:00.001-07:00

Everyone's favorite muck-monster, The Man-Thing!
Just a sketch for fun. With all the moisture we've
been having these days, I guess I was feeling kind
of 'swampy'.

Greetings from The Hidden Jungle!

Look out! it's Tigra!

Alright! Feeling a bit better these days and I'm
finally going to see a doctor. (Which is rather
difficult without health insurance). I'll know
more after tomorrow about my actual health
status. I'll keep everyone posted and hopefully
I can get back into the swing of things. Until
next time... Look out! it's Tigra!

Beware, the claws of... The CAT

The 'sketch of the night' if you will. (I sleep
days). This didn't quite turn out as planned
but, I think it's worth posting.

Another one from the vault. Found on vacation
in Arkansas.

A rare find

2010-10-29T15:48:00.001-07:00

Stumbled across an old copy of a Krampus illustration
while on vacation at my Dad's house in Arkansas.

Horrible Monster Chart

2010-09-27T08:43:00.001-07:00

Represented here are some of the most feared and
hated monstrosities known to man. Just posting
it brings a shudder...

I feel sad today

2010-09-20T11:34:00.000-07:00

I feel sad today. It's almost been a month and I've nothing new
to post. I've been sick and worried about my Dad, thinking
about my Mom, and just trying to pick myself up from gloomy
thoughts and look on the other side. You know I love clouds and
grim weather, but there is always.. just a bit of sadness at
the end of Summer.

That's o.k., I'm ready for Fall.

Home from work

2010-08-30T08:19:00.001-07:00

Kitty from next door always has to be outside when I have
heavy groceries. I have to stop and pet kitty you know, as
my frozen pizza rapidly begins to thaw.

6:37 am

2010-08-23T09:17:00.001-07:00

Sometimes, when I see the tired, worn out faces of
my morning customers, I like to test them to see if
they're awake.

3:35 am

2010-08-10T07:35:00.000-07:00

It's a hot August night. The station's finally quieted down
a bit. Time to get a whole smoke in. Just sitting and
listening to the bugs bounce off the lights. It will be
time to make coffee soon, the first trickle of morning
rush customers will start in about a half hour.

Here's the latest for the EC Tribute.

EC Tribute Panic homage

2010-07-20T08:12:00.000-07:00

This is something of an attempt at Jack Davis' character 'Mike
Hammer-Schlammer' from issue #1 of EC's Panic comic. Another
submission for the upcoming EC tribute Mini-comic.

Zuda has changed

2010-07-10T16:33:00.001-07:00

The links I've posted here and on FB for the Gravedust pages on
Zuda, now direct you to the new Zuda site, The Zuda Collective
It's the official Zuda blog, explaining what has happened to the
original competition webcomic. It sounds like a new direction
all together for Zuda, and lots of people seem upset about it.
All kinds of angry posts on the FB Zuda, with Zuda staff growling
back.

Late one October night

Cousin Eerie

2010-05-24T10:43:00.000-07:00

Uncle Creepy and Vampirella have all the fans. Cousin Eerie gets
the underdog status! Since I've had my nose in Eerie magazine back
issues all spring, I thought it was time for a Eerie homage.

What's become of Tommy Pepper?

2010-05-24T10:23:00.001-07:00

This much I can tell you, It's unlikely you'll be seeing any more of this strip.
Whatever was there for it when I started isn't there now. I wanted to do a dark,
shadowy ongoing comic strip. I'm not so sure I picked the best subject matter.
(For me, anyway). I've never been keen on guns either. Someone mentioned
'Stray Bullets' and that was it. I couldn't write this anymore and have it be
originl and cool and authentic sounding. Unless I hear major protest, this
is probably it for Tommy Pepper.

(Not to say this is the end of sequential comic strip ideas though, oh no).

Cloudy Outside

Third times a charm.

It's kind of hard to explain but, this is my third blog. To make a long
story short, through two computers and three internet providers, I
ended up running my last blog 'Cloudy Outside Comics' off a 'ghost'
Google account, using my old email address. I lost internet Tuesday
and was back on Thursday. I couldn't log on to my old blog however.
My old account, where I had the original Gravedust blog on, is now
this one. Makes perfect sense... right?
