Duckie the Self-Aware Duck #13 A ReQuack

This Duckie continued the arch of running from the law. My favorite parts are actually at the start where Duckie ignores Rock's sarcastic comments. I remember the bus panel was slightly tricky, the shocked look from the passengers was worth it ;)

How to draw Cars, International Comics Club edition

I run a weekly Comic Book drawing club at the International School of Hamburg. It's a really fun club to run and am stoked to have such talented students. You learn more about it here:

We had an awesome lesson the other day where we use depth to draw cars. Here's the lesson for anyone to use:

The students drew some amazing artworks and then entered her cars in a flick pen tournament. Ido won in a close match in the finals vs Alessio, Hannah and Easton. As a prize I coloured one of the cars that he drew:

Colours by Myself

Excellent work Ido, It was alot of fun to colour.

Duckie the Self-Aware Duck #12 A Re-Quack

Here's the Calvin and Hobbes influence in full force. I thought Duckie dreaming in completely different artstyles would be a fun twist. Also you'll notice here that Rocks sleep. Why they need rest is anyone's guess.

Duckie the Self-Aware Duck #10

Hey guys, here's the first Duckie of the year:

This one make more sense if you read the last one here: http://pavementart.blogspot.de/2012/11/duckie-self-aware-duck-9-re-quack.html

This one took a few goes to get right, I always liked the stories that have an ongoing but could stand on their own. The challenge in that though is getting everyone up to speed on what happened in the first on or two panels and in this format, space is very precious.

This Duckie cartoon is one of the ones that I find more funny than the reader I think. The expression in the 2nd panel was really fun to draw. Rock's thought balloon was redrawn several times.

Happy New Year all :)

Merry Quackmas from Duckie

Merry Christmas all.

Someone asked me yesterday where is the next Duckie?
This Duckie is out of sequence but you know, Merry Christmas :)

Dedicated to my devoted wife and amazing kids Maya and Quinn who are sick with a nasty cough. Get well soon wee ones.

Duckie the Self-Aware Duck #9 A Re-Quack

Hey all. If you want to buy Duckie. He has been included in the last two New Zealand comics publications by Funtime Comics. Best way to touch base with them is via their facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/groups/funtimecomics/

Anyway without further ado here's the next Duckie:

This Duckie is definitely a fan favorite. When back and forth a lot wondering if Duckie swearing was a good idea. I wondering what is the best word to go in the panel. "Shit" seems to be the best fit. Not having a panel boarder in the last frame also adds to the impact.

This really helped to define Duckie's personality and I was really glad how this turned out. I've seen ducks do this in real life and have always wondered why they did it.

Goodtimes :)

Lately....

After a short trip to Budapest. Here's what I've been up too:

3 Green Bars series 4 trailer:

I create a series called 3 Green Bars which looks at different fighting game communities around the world. Here's the trailer for this season.

My wife thinks "Just 99 more of these and I can start my new life" is funnier.

I actually love Disney franchises, they just have so many so I thought I'd poke a little fun

Between editing, parenting, teaching, drawing there's been a lot going on at the moment. I'll post some more updates next week.
