I’ve been doing some ‘pre-production’ work on my other comic idea and I wanted to share a bit of artwork. The comic will be called Sector Four. Click on the image below to see a larger version.

The comics and artwork of Brad Samuelson

So if you’ve read part one of my big news, you already know that my comic strip As the Grass Grows is going on hiatus. While that wasn’t an easy decision, it’s going to give me more time to start working on two other comic projects that have been in the works. One is with my brother, Dave, and we’ve been kicking this around for years. It will finally see the light of day. The first six pages are already done. I’m shooting for about 15 or so to be done before it’s home goes up online. I’m pretty excited about this because like I said, this has been in the works a long time, but also because I’m trying some new fun stuff with the art. Here’s a preview:
the second comic will still be in ‘planning mode’ for a bit. I’ve been working on some character designs and writing it up, but this is one that will need a good deal of development work put in before I can get to making the comics. So at the risk of spoiling parts of the story, I’ll be using this blog to post some of the design work that will be going into it. Should be a lot of fun so I hope you’ll check it out.

One thing I strongly believe is that if you want to improve as an artist, you need to draw as much as you can. Unfortunately with all the stuff I have going on, I tend to have trouble putting that into practice. To help me out with that, the guys behind the Art Zen podcast, Darrel Troxel (raydred.com) and Thomas Clemmons (robotfriday.com) started a sketch group called Pencil Break. I’ll be joining them, contributing as many sketches as I can. The first theme is one humbly submitted by myself – Usagi Yojimbo. I plan on doing more, but here’s my first sketch, one of my favorite characters from Usagi Yojimbo, Stray Dog…

Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve written anything here. That’s going to change soon, I have a bunch of stuff I’ve been working on, just no time to write and post it. First of all, I’d like to dump a bunch of sketches that I did when I was at the Pittsburgh Comicon, back in April:
Usagi Yojimbo commission. I had a lot of fun with this one – I’ve been a huge UY fan since the early 90s:

More sketch cards (Gnorm, Leonardo, Usagi, and Green Lantern):

My son and I got a new game over the weekend. It was so fun, I had to draw him. I’ll give you one guess what it was.
