Description

Doom Patrol
"Apes of Wrath"

This is a set of several page sets I did for a portfolio back in 2004 (hence the John Byrne DOOM PATROL there). I took the whole binder of work up to the Chicago Con to show that year and got nowhere.

It was very fun to do and was the first time I'd done sequentials in awhile. The thing that I really learned from the whole experience though was that I just didn't have a mainstream comic artist style, especially in the early days of the darker, more heavily photoshopped trends in the industry. I love the more raw and basic looks. Whether it be cartoon, underground, low brow, pop, or a number of other styles, that's the stuff I really admire and emulate.

And let's face it, sequential comic artists that try to be anywhere on schedule these days work like dogs. Who wants that?! Ha. It has been a long slow realization though that I should just draw what I want and produce it myself in this age of ease and proliferation of desktop publishing, and the following several years has been a journey to make that happen. And hopefully that journey will end soon with Psychotronik. :D

Here's the story excerpt that goes with these pages: [link]
