El Vocho #46







El Vocho looks a bit different this week, I'm going to post the story without image edits. I've usually trimmed stuff out that sticks in from adjoining panels (I have no desire to honor the panel borders).
The book is nearing completion. I'm trying to hit a gear where the pace picks up, so no more time wasting edits!
Sort of like when publisher Kitchen Sink was putting out their reprints of Steve Canyon by Milton Caniff, you could see where he'd drawn outside of the panel border and they left it in, it just looked brilliant, what a brush man ol' imperialist Milton was!

El Vocho #45







I brought a new large format scanner from the states to my studio in Mexico over the holidays. I'm excited about it, as it will help me put comics from my entire career back in print, including Bughouse, Dog Boy and more. It will take time to get everything in print, especially as I want to publish El Vocho first.
But I gotta say, the prospect of having it all available is thrilling. I mean, the Dog Boy book alone with be close to 500 pages of very unusual, highly entertaining underground comics!

El Vocho #44



Here's a couple more panels of El Vocho. Trying to get back up to speed after the holidays, problem is I'm obsessed with playin' guitar, gotta put the damn thing down and pick up the brush! Hey!

El Vocho #43

This here is a short edition of El Vocho online. I'm traveling over the holidays, away from the drawing board. The new comics on Wednesday posts will resume in January.
I'll be visiting some indy comics shops & bookstores late December/early January as I drive from Massachusetts to Oaxaca. Nothing formal, just looking to stock some stores with my books and lay groundwork for the El Vocho tour for summer 2010.
Probably will post from the road.

The El Vocho Graphic Novel will appear in summer 2010. I am planning a U.S. tour to promote the book, with west coast dates in mid July and East coast dates in late July/early August. Any suggestions for art cafes or indie comics shops to visit are welcome!
