Celia of the Rapture

My friend Celia held a Rapture Party last night, for which we were encouraged to dress in appropriately apocalyptic costume.  I was inspired to do a drawing of Celia in pseudo-apocalyptic apparel, which I gave her as a gift.  I kinda wish I’d made the purple a bit more red.  Played around with different style, this time a cheap imitation of the CalArts aesthetics of Genndy and Craig and Lauren.

My Little Pony: Orbital Sieges are Magic

Let it be known that I work on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.  It’s the new My Little Pony show currently airing on the HUB network in the US, and YTV Treehouse in Canada.  It’s actually a really good show.  And, it turns out, it has a large underground following of adult viewers (male and female alike).

This piece was a commission for one such viewer, from a donation to Cloudscape Comics‘ soon-to-be-published anthology entitled “21 Journeys” (A preview of my submission is here).  You guys should totally buy our books; they’re awesome.  If you only buy one, wait for the new one - but if you feel like buying more, I highly recommend Exploded View, our previous release.  It’s a sci-fi anthology.

Watch this trailer for a little more context: this is actually an MLP / EVE crossover.  (There are no giant orbital siege weapons in the My Little Pony universe.)

An Essential Busness: Egypt

This is one of four short vignettes about bus travel (based loosely on personal experience) that I wrote for Cloudscape’s upcoming anthology: 21 Journeys.  We’ve finally gathered up enough funds to print the thing - it’s going to be over 200 pages, full colour.  Exciting!  Keep an eye out on Cloudscape’s webpage, our Twitter account, or our Facebook for more news of the book.  This’ll be a strong one, mark my words!  Pages 2-5 after the jump.
