The Graphic novel project that I’m working on right now (that I posted one of the covers for yesterday) was picked up in an article in USA today. I am working on the sequel text book about Franchising Entrepreneurship.  Here’s the link to USA TODAY if you want to check it out.

I really liked this quote from the article, its kind of the reason I wanted to get into comics, I knew it could be more than just entertainment…

“As you start reading it, you start thinking, ‘Can I take this seriously?’ But as you get involved you realize there’s more to it than just entertainment,” Dunn said. “There’s a lot of didactic information, and from my vantage point it was more memorable and unique because you could identify the information with specific characters.”

I am working on a new project these days.  I am illustrating a 200 page graphic novel for a text book company.  The book is called Tales of Garcon and its a story that illustrates the pitfalls and opportunities of franchising in business.  Its a fun story, and I like the characters a lot.  Its been a lot of work so far.  In July I penciled, inked and lettered the first 32 page chapter, and my wonderful, talented wife laid down the shading on it as well.  32 pages in a month is a lot.  I’ve never done that before.  I wasn’t sure I’d be able to.  But I am enjoying the challenge.

This is the cover for the first chapter.  I will be posting some pages before too long.

Everytime I finish a sketchbook, I like to do a little painting on the cover.  In this case, its the character Anna from an old, old story of mine.  If you’ve followed my work for any number of years, you’ve probably seen her before.  I am happy with how this turned out.  It was done with white and black airbrush paints pretty quickly and loosely.  About 20 minutes.  I have been doing a lot of digital painting, and digital drawing lately, and for some reason, having that kind of control is helping me to see the painting process a lot differently.  It makes me want to try a lot more painting.  I’ll have to see if I can squeeze it into my schedule.

I was asked a while back to do some sketch cards for the new Dead@17 card set.  This is my first time doing sketch cards, so it was fun and interesting.  I’d like to do some more down the road.

Most of the cards I did were done like these with watercolor, pen and ink, white out and a little airbrush.
