    I spent a couple of months last year coloring Stuffed! a 120 page graphic novel written by Glenn Eichler and drawn by Nick Bertozzi.  I share co-coloring credit with Mr. Bertozzi, who showed me the ins and outs of selecting the best color palette for a specific scene. We based the coloring style on  Hergé’s…

    My last post touched on some uncredited work I did for Nick Bertozzi‘s story in the Marvel book Strange Tales.  Since that post, the editor asked Nick to do a last minute introduction page for the book for which I did the coloring (except for The Watcher’s underoos which are tighty-whities, naturally).  The book hit…

    When I decided to make a career change a few years ago, there was a lot I didn’t know about the comics industry.  For one, the creation-to-print time can span several years.  Some of the projects I first worked on are finally coming out, and it has helped me realize just how much I’ve learned…

    I recently came across this interview MTV did with Glenn Eichler in which he talks about Stuffed!.  As you may recall, I did some coloring work on Stuffed! last summer.  Word on the street is that the book will come out sometime towards the end of 2009.

    Smith Magazine has an excellent series going on about next-door neighbors.  As the series editor Dean Haspiel says, ““Everybody has one. And, no matter how close or how far, we all live next to someone, and we all have a Next-Door Neighbor story.”  Over the past year, I’ve enjoyed reading all the stories posted in…
