Home isn't my way..

LET'S BE FRIENDS AGAIN 2 PREVIEW!

Continue to come to your own conclusions as to just where the hell we're going with this thing.

You're wrong..

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.

We should learn to live..

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.

Ridin' high..

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 though.

Here it goes..

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.

That's incredible..

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 things such as coloring.

Maybe you're right..

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.

I wish I could sit in the sun..

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.

There was always that crazy..

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, about that.

Apparently I forgot to save (Ctrl + S) the last half of the work I did on coloring the thing... either that or I saved it in some folder that is now hidden from me via dark sorcelations.

So, until I get up the gumption to finish it again, you'll have to make do with these inks.

I promise the colored version was a lot more impressive.

I tell you the truth..

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.

I'm evil and a heathen..

This is Joey.
He is our official Let's Be Friends Again photographer.

Hold onto your teardrops..

Curt has already bought two of these.

We were destined..

One of our personalized prints.

I'm telling you, if we had had these at MoCCA like we were supposed to we would be famous by now.

This is what we do..

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.

Was there a bit part for me?

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 know of the rough plan we have so far, I am 100% certain that :
1) LBFA2 is going to be a lot longer.
2) LBFA2 is not going to be a mini-comic.
3) LBFA2 is going to be a real challenge and a lot of fun to draw.

Perhaps Curt will check in with his thoughts on the road to LBFA2.

It's a long way to the top.

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.

No shoes. No shirts. No problem.

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.

100% True Story.. again.

A completely real Let's Be Friends Again-related conversation.

April : When I saw Curt tonight, the first thing he said to me was, "Go fuck yourself."
chrishaley : I've got a million text messages with that same sentence from him.
chrishaley : Not from tonight, just from life.
chrishaley : I could show you one right now, but he spelled "fuck" wrong.

100% True Story.

A completely real Let's Be Friends Again conversation.

chrishaley : Man, I got that Batmanime DVD and the 5th season of The Batman today, and I want to order one of those Batman pizzas while I'm watching them, but that thing is "cloaked" in pepperoni.. there's no way I can convince myself that's not hell of bad for me.

Curt : Whatever dude, you got da bomb metabolism. Eat what you want who gives a fuck.

chrishaley : Yeah, that's true, but eventually I'm gonna have a heart attack, right?

Curt : This is me, your doctor, telling you this.

Curt : Yeah, but thats like years away! Fuck your future self, enjoy cloaked pizza today!

We heard that's what you're into..

We inch ever closer to the JLFM.

Apparently this one was for "Nadine", but I don't think she remembered to come back by to pick it up.
