Follow this link to the issue's page on the Bailliwik site to preview the work, learn more about the artists, or to order a copy for yourself. Click here to see the rest of the Bailliwik books.

Pizza Shark Presents: UFOs for Lunch

Light & Ideas

My good friend Dylan Jones and I started yesterday on a collaborative project which in the future will manifest itself as a music video (my animation / Dylan's music). We spent about an hour jamming -- Dyl playing, me drawing, and both of us talking in between about the concepts which tie everything together. The theme is "ideas," in particular ideas as represented by the symbol of the lightbulb ("Eureka!" cried Edison). Our protagonist is some sort of inventor/big thinker with a lightbulb shaped head, and some of Dyl's recordings come from the sounds of actual bulbs in action.

A proper place for our project on the web is in the works, updates will follow! In the meantime, enjoy some sketches:

MIOK print

In case you've been wondering about certain recent posts, I've been uploading quite a few images from a body of work related to a new comic I'm working on called MIOK (read the letters separately), a short story following the character Miok (pronounced 'my-oke') as he struggles with self doubt in an increasingly complicated life.


I just finished a long night of printing this print (!), which will sit on the page opposite the Chapter 1 page, based on this digital image that I created earlier this week. It's made up of 10 separate layers and will probably get a few more by the time I'm done with it.

It'll be shrunk down and probably simplified a bit for the sake of the book (the image, which isn't even totally finished, is about 12" x 12" on the paper and the projected size for the book is 11" x 11"). I will be making one hardbound artist book version of MIOK and also reproducing it in some other form.
