72DEMONS Book - The proof is in!

From Ars Goetia:

The first full-color proof is in! 72DEMONS was featured in the Miller gallery in Pittsburgh along with other works by Carnegie Mellon's graduating class of 2012. Check out our flickr page for photos of the show last month -- plus previews of the 72DEMONS book. (A warning for those at work: some images contain cartoon nudity)

Inspired by the Lesser Key of Solomon, comics, and 17th century grimoire, the 72DEMONS project is a venue for new and budding visual artists. Our goal is to publish an illustrated book depicting the seventy-two demons archived in the Ars Goetia, believed to be a guide written by King Solomon for summoning both helpful and malevolent spirits. Thousands of years later these entities persist, although they have changed their names and faces!
Since summer of 2011, 72DEMONS has expanded into a diverse collective of illustrators, painters, graphic designers, writers and video artists - making for one hefty book! Like what you see? What you are viewing now are only a few pieces from the first full-color proof.

S.P.A.C.E.

So it turns out that drawing with a new monitor is really tough. However I can't imagine ever going back to using one monitor. I recommend dual monitors to anyone doing heavy photoshop work.

...heh...dual monitors.

This weekend I'll be repping Unicorn Mountain at Columbus' small press expo, S.P.A.C.E

We'll be showing copies of The Black Forest and The All-Creator's Wife as well as some 72DEMONS swag.

Be sure to stop by table #35 Saturday and Sunday and say hi. As some of you know, I'm moving to Columbus late next month, so I'm really excited to meet some cool, creative people in the area.

After S.P.A.C.E. it's a mad dash to graduation. I have yet to complete a comic for my graphic novel class (preview above). Then, there's putting together first copy of the 72DEMONS book in time for the senior show at the Miller gallery - May 4th. Estimated date of the Kickstarter launch is mid-May.

I'm going to be better about this blogging thing from now on, given the fact that I'll be graduating in two months and will have no studio mates to talk to. My website is still a little sad, but it's getting there! Check out the Illustration and Comics sections for updates.

Apart from school my book project has been keeping me busy. Spring break has allowed me to work on my own piece for the book. I've been working on this on and off, but I really need to bust out more graphical elements before the end of the week...like a book cover. uff.
