Okay, so here's the deal.If Alex Ross doesn't have to draw backgrounds neither do I.Keep it tuned to letsbefriendsagain.com for more behind the scenes information on the upcoming LBFA2 and it's awesome "backgrounds will never consist of anything but a blinding white light" policy!Also, you can totally see Ms. Marvel's bare buttocks(es?) in that second picture.

Someone found our site by doing a Google search for the phrase "i see the look that's in your eyes".I don't quite know what to make of this revelation.Anyway, that's our comic sitting (at a comic shoppe) next to the latest Alan Moore League of Extraordinary Gentlemen release. Just like Alan would want.

FREDDIE MERCURY GETS IT TOGETHER!I did this one for Bryan Lee O'Malley based on the cover to Scott Pilgrim Vol. 4 : Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together and gave it to him at HeroesCon.Meeting him at HeroesCon was basically one of the best things that's come of making a comic, because as you might have guessed from the title of our comic, he totally wanted to be friends with us.More on that later

Who wouldn't want to buy a comic from us?We're basically awesome, and the best part is we want to be friends with all of you.

Perhaps you recall seeing my inks for this previously.Perhaps you do not.There's really no way for us to know... Curt has told me that there actually is a way for us to know, but it's way too complicated for me to understand.Anyway, I'm fully allowed to say that I think the colors on this sketch are completely awesome because I'm not responsible for them.April is.She is basically great at doing

LET'S BE FRIENDS AGAIN 2 PREVIEW!Another full-on, exciting character concept sketch.As of now, this guy will be in LBFA2.Tell your friends that are into that "furry" stuff to reserve their copy now.

LET'S BE FRIENDS AGAIN 2 PREVIEW!Some quickly abandoned (for being all wrong) concept art for a character from LBFA2.Hopefully there will be a lot more of this in the all the days to come leading to the completion and eventual release of LBFA2.

So, here's a Freddie convention commission/sketch I've been holding onto for a while.If you can't tell, it's Captain America vs Freddie as The Winter Soldier.At this point you may be asking, "Why hold onto this one for so long?"Well, the thing is this, I got an itch to color this one up and I ended up really enjoying the way the colored version was going."Why is this in black and white then?"Yeah

This has nothing to do with our comic(s), but I wanted to post it, because I don't care what name he used, that middle picture and quote are most assuredly by Curt Franklin.

Curt and I did this one for Sean's birthday last week.I don't know if he's seen it yet.Well, whatever, happy birthday!This was drawn at a restaurant and then at a bar, so that speaks to the quality.Oh, and the fact that I drew it. That also speaks to the quality.Curt wanted me to let you all know that you are all alright.

Curt and I have begun the arduous process of making LET'S BE FRIENDS AGAIN 2 : ELECTRIC BOOGALOO!(Name subject to change.)This was me fooling around with a different style of drawing.I'm not 100% certain how I will draw the parts of LBFA2 that feature us, which is to say, I don't know if Curt and I will look the same way we did in the first one.Anyone have any thoughts on the matter?From what I

Jason Rodriguez (who took the above photo) stopped by Memphis on his way across the country from Washington, DC to SDCC.While here, he had a chat with Curt and I about comics, collaboration, the King, and any number of other things.Enjoy his article and some of my art (as requested by Jason) at this link.Also be sure to check out Parts 1 and 2.

And now you've seen everything.It's Freddie as a luchador.This one was for Harry at Jim Hanley's Universe.I was hoping Curt would have something clever to say about this, because I'm on empty.

There are two people without whom, Let's Be Friends Again : A Tiny Comic (LBFA:ATC) would not have been possible.Those two people are Curt and I.Then there are two other people right after that (sorta just below) that also helped.Those two people are Joel Priddy and Shane McDermott.Probably the most awesome thing about making comics is the fact that when you make them, you can ask your way more

This photo was sent in to us via cameraphonetography, and it's very important because it proves several things.1) That our comic is available for sale at Comics & Collectibles.2) That C&C is Memphis' finest comic shop because of this.And most importantly..3) That girls are willing to venture into comic shops for Let's Be Friends Again.If you own or work for a comic shop and would be interested in

Here's total proof that someone paid actual money for my drawing of Freddie Mercury as a Green Lantern vs Darkseid.See how Curt accepts the money in exchange for the drawing!She said it was a birthday present for a friend who loved Freddie Mercury.I hope he liked it.

There our comic sits at Memphis' finest comic shop.The copy you see there was the last copy of the original printing left anywhere.This shop, and (hopefully) soon others around the country, will be receiving the newly printed and slightly adjusted (for the better) version.I appreciate the staff of Comics & Collectibles putting our comic next to Jim Shooter's new Legion of Super Heroes so our

I drew this one for Joe at DC Comics.His only request for his Freddie Mercury drawing was that I listen to my heart.This is what happens when I listen to my heart.I really like how this one turned out, so I might possibly try to make a print of it.Maybe I'll just do an entire Justice League of Freddie Mercurys.A JLFM if you will.I'm not sure how many we got pictures of at the show, but I recall

Thanks to Super Punch, Newsarama featured our picture of Freddie Mercury (as a Green Lantern) fighting Darkseid.Subsequently, we've had a huge influx of new visitors.This is hell of awesome.For those of you that missed the story of this picture, it is (as best as I recall) as follows : Curt and I were sitting at a bar waiting on our food.I asked Curt what I should draw.Curt : Can you draw

Here are the final two prints we were supposed to have on sale at MoCCA.It's me dressed as Superman on the back of a red dinosaur who is similar to (but legally different from) Devil Dinosaur, and Curt dressed as Martian Manhunter riding a unicorn.Just a regular unicorn, I guess.I mean, I don't think it's like a unicorn from She-Ra or something.My thanks to Joel for helping me decide what kind

We're getting hella famous.At MoCCA, Curt and I were interviewed for a podcast.Secret Identity Podcast to be precise.I don't think they've put the interview with us up yet, but you can see this picture and a brief bit about talking to us there on their site.Curt is cracking up in that picture.

This was another of our did not get there in time prints for MoCCA.Curt had the idea that we should make prints with empty word bubbles on them so that while I was sketching things for people he could write things to make each print personalized. It would have been a big hit if it had been able to happen.

This was one of the prints we were going to sell at MoCCA that didn't get shipped to us on time.. even though the site we ordered them from told us we would have them well in advance of the show.Sigh.I did however sell the original art for this to a person (that was not Joe Quinones) for actual money.Sorry, Joe.

As we speak, the comic is in a finer comic shoppe near you... provided you live in the greater Memphis area.We are in New York.
