Amazing Screw On Head – the series…

by

Mike Mignola’s The Amazing Screw on Head is coming to Sci-Fi Channel. Featuring the voices of Paul Giamatti, Molly Shanon, and Davis Hyde-pierce.

You can watch the first entire episode on-line

In this hilarious send-up of Lovecraftian horror and steampunk adventure, President Abraham Lincoln’s top spy is a bodyless head known only as Screw-On Head.

When arch-fiend Emperor Zombie steals an artifact that will enable him to threaten all life on Earth, the task of stopping him is assigned to Screw-on Head. Fortunately, Screw-On Head is not alone on this perilous quest. He is aided by his multitalented manservant, Mr. Groin, and by his talking canine cohort, Mr. Dog.

Can this unorthodox trio stop Emperor Zombie in time? Does Screw-On Head have a body awesome enough to stop the horrors that have been unleashed? Where can we get a talking dog?

All these questions (O.K., maybe not that last one) will be answered when you watch the thrilling tale of The Amazing Screw-On Head!

This seems like a fresh breath of air compared to most of what I have seen on Adult Swim the last few seasons (with the exception of the Ventura Bros.) It’s 100% Mike Mignola’s art and style come to life. I am looking forward to seeing more.

Sketch 7-30-06 Parrots of the Caribbean

by

This is a sketch I did during Comic-Con 2006. Saddly I forgot my watercolors at home and had to resort to color pencils. Watercolors are much more powerfull when you want to work faster. The photo is not perfect since it is just a digital photo.

I will post a scan when it is done.

My computer does not like me.

by

Well, I am finally home.

I am back from the convention and back from my visit with my sister and brother and law in Southern California.

I came back to find that my old iMac does not turn on. Yikes. Nothing like coming home and to not be able to use your computer to put a damper on an exciting last two weeks. But I am not going to let that stop me from blogging, no sir.

Luckily I have other computers to use in the house, but it still pisses me off to find that my ‘baby’ I won over 6 years ago from MacAddict Magazine is feeling sick. And it makes me feel even sicker that I might have to spend money on fixing it.

Oh well. I hope to post some photos this weekend if possible and blog a bit about Comic-Con 2006 as well.

Comic-Con follow up 1

by

Well comic-con is over and I am dead tired like a dog.

The con was great and I feel very inspired and excitecd about my own projects. There were so many awsome artist to meet and envey, so much talent, so much postive expereiences. I hope to post some photos and more expereiences this week.

It is so wierd for the con to be over now, after changing your life so drasticly for 5 days. No more getting up early, no more waiting in lines, no more jelious admeration for other artist. And now I need to take the next step to have my book ready for next years con. And the dreams of making a splash.

Well, more lateley.

Comic-Con post 2

by

So…Many…People.

I never thought that walking would be so hard to do, but there are already so many folks at the con that it’s an accident just waiting to happen.

I have spent most of my time milling around the small press area and I got a chance yesterday morning to go the other side and meet some great folks like Animator Bill Plympton. In small press there are lots of folks I want to go meet and at least two booths are doing painting demonstrations. So today I plan to go back and look around.

Besides that I am researching possible companies to print BTGC, but most of them want to see the finished work or my story is not a good fit with there existing titles. The comvention is humbling in the fact that there are so many artists. I feel out of my league with most for sure, but I know that some of that is just the normal artist brain at work.

I have not seen as many costumes as I would have imagined, so I hope today there are more. I do have photos to show later next week.

Sales are slow at the CAM table, or least for my own book they are. I am not sure how to get some attention without screaming and begging at folks, and I am all ready losing my voice.

I sat in on a panel on Thursday with one of my favorite artists and writers Linda Medley. It was cool that she talked a lot about story telling and comics.

More later.
