Craig Thompson


Recently I've been actually READING comics again, thanks to a comicon with an extremely cheap graphic novel table! Because of that, I've read an amazing graphic novel that i think you guys all need to know about.

The story is genuine and realistic, and the art is ridiculous! It's all written and drawn by Craig Thompson, and i've been checking out his blog. When he DOES post its really good info about his process or updates on his next giant project Habibi.

If you guys need some inspiration or are just looking to see how another professional does it, you should check out his site at www.dootdootgarden.com or his blog at http://blog.dootdootgarden.com

And of course, go read the book!
Don't let the thickness scare you! (sorry, i just always wanted to say that)

"Better late than never!"



OK, so i did two pictures cause i couldn't really decide. I did one regular gb and one REAL Ghostbusters. This is the one that i finished, I'm kinda wrestling with the other one, so i may or may not finish that. Hopefully i will though.

I tried to match the cartoon style as close as i could. That was kinda my goal for this piece. I Purposefully tried to make it semi-cheesy so that if i were to color it and add the logo, etc, then it might look like a cover of one of the old RGB comics, or the magazine from when i was a kid.

Anyways, sorry for the lateness and everything! Hopefully my regular GB one will get finished also, but if not, at least there's this one!

Stay puft


My girlfriends son wanted in on the action, so he drew stay puft a few times... he kept drawing the hat first, then the head, and would be mad cuz he drew the head too small for the hat, so he'd start over. The little mans head is ray, he's scared.
Tear this one apart Eric! Are you tough enough to make a 5 year old cry?!?!
