Exquisite Corpse

Just wanted to share a piece I just finished for an Exquisite Corpse project. The premise of an Exquisite Corpse is that there are some story points and an over arching theme and the pieces come together as a patchwork of sorts, connected but not. A writer will produce a page, which is then sent off to an unknown artist. I was both a writer and an artist. Hopefully, I will be able to show the page for my words soon, but for now, I have the page I drew myself from someone else's script.

The things that I had to work with were:

Main character - Henry
Must feature a staff or tree branch (a wooden tool basically)
Theme - transformation

This is the page I drew

A taste

As promised, I am working on some longer stories. Here is a taste of what is to come.

ATM

No, not "ass to mouth" (at least that is what I think about when I see ATM because of a week of sifting through pornography at my old job at a video store), but rather, AT THE MOMENT.

I haven't posted to the blog in almost two months. That isn't to say that Teddy is on a hiatus. Just life (like it does for everyone's hobbies) has gotten in the way as of late. After going to Comic Con and talking to people there and past conversations, the importance of regular posting was always stressed. Now, I am wholly unaware of who reads this blog (especially since all the people I know read it when it is posted on my Facebook), but I would like to keep up on regular posting, even if it is to inform the unknown masses that there won't be a strip. Luckily, I have some backlogged stuff that very easily be put on the site (and will be).

AT THE MOMENT though, I am just kinda catching my breath from living these past few weeks, as well as attempting to break Teddy into a new form. There are plans for the future that need to get under way within the next two weeks, so posting may get in the way. But, with school beginning again, that means Teddy is gonna be back on a regular schedule in print, as well as online. But please, if you read the blog, if you are an unknown follower of the strip, please hold on. There are some long stories that are coming up.

With school ending this year for the last time (fingers crossed), the time is nearing for something to get moving with the strip, in some form. So, that means there are various projects that are underway to ensure that Teddy and company get to live on after the 2010-2011 school year. Please stay tuned and be aware that I ache when Teddy isn't updated in the timely manner that I promise.

Comic Con Teddy

Currently at Comic Con, covering it for Four Colors as well as peddling my wares. Just wanted to update the blog so the comics that I'm sharing are on the top of the page. And ps. It has been a grand time.

Rejection.

I finally sent out Teddy to several newspapers. Got my first response from the Press Democrat (who already technically employs me through Four Colors). They said "no."

Not to sad. Rejection has to be a part of the game if you are going to succeed. So, I'm putting my head down and gonna continue on. Hopefully, there will be great news to report in the future.
