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.

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.

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.

I'll believe anything..

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 talented friends to help make your comic not suck.
Such as by asking them to draw a pin-up of you for the back cover that ends up being basically the greatest thing ever.

Shane was responsible for not only lettering the thing, but spending his valuable time teaching me how to letter it like a real comic instead of like a flyer for Ubee's or something that you take when the guy hands it to you, but you know you're just gonna throw it away as soon as you can.

And don't worry, Shane, because you're also now stuck with the awesome responsibility of having to come up with a pin-up for LBFA2 that tops Joel's!

Above and beyond those things though, both of these guys helped us every step of the way reading the script, giving their thoughts, laughing at the appropriate points, helping me figure out the layouts, looking over my thumbnails, teaching us how to tie our shoes, making us dinner, telling me my finished pages were "good enough", and so forth.

I don't think Curt and I would be making comics if it weren't for them and all of their help, and we really can't thank them enough for being so generous with their time and talents.

And for what you're really here to see, a picture of Freddie Mercury dressed as a cat.

Fame and Fortu.. well, fame : Part 2

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 Darkseid?

me : Sure.

Curt : Oh! Can you draw Darkseid fighting Freddie Mercury?

me : Cool! Okay.

Curt : OH! Can you draw Freddie Mercury AS a Green Lantern fighting Darkseid?!

me : OMG AWESOMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then we started huggin' and high-fivin' and all dancin' around and such.

A little bit of fun trivia about the picture that before right now only 4 people knew : In my original pencils, Freddie was using the ring to create a "Fat Bottomed Girl" to combat Darkseid.

It's really pretty fortuitous timing that this happened today, because today just happened to be the day we received/unveiled the new logo/banner created for us by the unbelievable Dylan Todd.

He's also responsible for one of my favorite blogs, Big Red Robot.

So yeah, if you're one of our new visitors, thanks for stopping by and please drop in again. Tell a friend even.

There'll definitely be a lot of things to look at over the next few days (if all goes according to plan at least), and if you're just here for Freddie, rest assured, he's involved.

Heavily involved.

Well, I mean, not literally, but I will be posting more of the pictures of him as various superheroes I drew for people at MoCCA.
