In answer to several solicitations for new installments of Cosmopolis, let me assure you that while I'm continuing to work on new strips of my series, my current jobs and personal life have been preventing me from keeping up a regular posting schedule. Rest assured that my series has not been canceled or left on an indefinite hold - Cosmopolis WILL continue to be posted soon.

I have the whole story scripted, so it's only a matter of pencilling, inking and lettering every single panel - not a small feat for a one-man team! Since I am not inclined to sacrifice quality for the regularity of this non-paying comicstrip, but still have to pay the bills and deal with everyday stuff we all do, new Cosmopolis installments will be posted whenever they're done.

Thanks for your patience and continuing support!

Cheers!

Just letting you all know that Cosmopolis will go through a brief hiatus until next week due to personal commitments. Hope you all return and join me next Tuesday - Until then!

cosmopolis#0

Beggining tomorrow, I will be posting a new ongoing comic strip, Cosmopolis.

This new series was born out of a growing necessity of developing my own creative playground, free from the baggage of collaborations and others' editorial visions. Now, I have nothing against writers, editors or teaming-up with other creators -- I've done so in the past, hopefully I'll continue to do so and it should be underlined that it does have its rewards -- but the result of such ventures usually tends to be a compromise that isn't always easy and most of the time doesn't necessarilly fulfill my personal vision. Basically, I need something that allows me to follow my creative instincts and take my art through paths I wish to see it cover.

As a result of this, I've taken to the challenge of doing it all on my own: creating, writing, drawing and lettering my own characters and stories -- the blame for its outcome as a comic strip lies strictly upon me. I've decided to start by cleaning up an old project I had lying around my studio and revamp it according to my current drawing and storytelling abilities.

I hope you stick around for this experiment and have fun with it.

I surely will!

Summertime epilogue

Summertime is over. Well, at least it is here in my blog. This was a fun experiment of posting a real sketch - warts and all - each day, of improvising, of throwing a whole lot of shit against the wall in order to see which one would stick. A special extra thanks to Mike Haseloff for helping out with the posting.

And don't despair, there'll be new regular pretty pictures coming up real soon. Keep tuned!
