Hello everyone,
Wanted to let ya know that the Devils Grin Book One paintings are now for sale. Go here to peruse.
Other updates: Finished part 7 earlier this week. Finished painting the front cover last night and will begin the back cover tomorrow.
If you are reading along online as I draw Devils Grin, I’ve already redrawn a ton of panels from part 7 I wasn’t happy with and a few whole pages.
I consider my Substack / Patreon pages to be a first draft, the self published comic a second draft, and the book collection to be the final draft.
I try to get things right on my first go, and most of the time I do get it right, but sometimes I don’t always knock it out of the park on my first attempt. Hopefully as my career continues to progress I’ll be able to slow down a bit with future projects, but right now as I’m still establishing myself I need to crank these pages out so I can crank these books out. While also trying not to sacrifice quality or craftsmanship. Delicate balance
Anyway, in a few weeks I’ll send part 7 to print. It’s about 120 pages.
Book format: From now on, I’ll be printing self published Devils Grin comics at digest size 6”x9”.
I will be offering an option for those who prefer the bigger size, but it will be from Lulu, which is a print-to-order service. The quality of the print-to-order comics is slightly lower than the traditional printed edition, but still good.
(This print-to-order service is what I usually reserve for international readers who don’t want to pay exorbitant shipping from the US, as the comics are printed at a facility local to you.)
I have switched to painting covers for the 6x9” format, so formatting these images for 8”x11” might be tricky but I’ll do my best.
Thank you all so much for your support. It really means the world to me.
