BLOODY PULP MAGAZINE!!!

I've been planning this for a while (at least since May, when I purchased the URL from my friend, Jeremy Jusay) and from what I've been working on this is coming together pretty nicely.

A little back story:

BLOODY PULP MAGAZINE was a comic book magazine that was put together by me, Jeremy Jusay and Glenn Urieta back in 2007. We set out to do a comic that hearkened back to the Golden Age/Silver Age EC Comics which usually dealt in sci-fi, crime, western, horror, romance and war. We made 1 issue and had plans for others but nothing would gel for any of us so we just sort of started doing our own things. Jeremy published "Jusay Pulp" and his feature Ghosts of New Wave, Glenn went on to work on his Paper Cut kids property and I went to work on Guardian Knight Presents with my Bugman superhero story.

Now it's a little short of 6 years and I'm trying to get the book together again. This time I'm working as the Editor-in-Chief with 2 entries and a cover. Also included will be works by Phillip Lee McCall (he's also writing one of the entries I'm drawing, Shani the Wanderer) and James Groeling (who's webstrip JDGAF is so damn cool). It's going to be a 60-page black and white monster that I'm planning on selling through Amazon.

I'm really excited about it and I hope you like what's coming up.

Stay Tuned, I'll have some Shani stuff up here or on BloodyPulpMag.com.

laters,

Leigh

SURVIVE: EXTINCTION - final color art! (the DEUCE you say!)

Yuup! I like how it came out.

Doing all that grass was a pain in the butt, I gotta admit.

She walked into my head and stole all the cutlery... continues!

I scanned the pencils for this piece.

I'll ink and color it soon. Probably in the next couple weeks.

Stay tuned!

NYCC 2013

I ended up going to New York Comic Con this year.

I wanted to avoid it and I thought it would be a great opportunity to stop and think about what I wanted to do with my art. I mean, yeah, it's definitely going to be about publishing a comic, maybe a graphic novel, maybe a cartoon but what do I REALLY want, you know?

Anyway, I went and helped out Daniel Cooney at his Valentine table and it was good fun. Dan's a brilliant storyteller and an accomplished teacher and comic booker. He's been doing it since a little before senior year of college and he's still going strong.

I think I wanna be him when I grow up.

Anyway part deux, I also got to chill with the Florida Comix Scene, the gang from Cosmic Times and Creature, who were doing their thing with a fury! I got to hang at the Creature table for a couple of days doing sketch covers. First day was cool, the second was cool but I didn't sell any covers... that's how it goes, unfortunately, but I got to hang out with a brilliant bunch of guys (and girl) that, if I can get more organized, I would like to do some work for.

So the show was fun, funner than usual. I'm a little upset that I didn't get to hang with the Pronto Comics collective and I'm sad Grayhaven didn't make it. Next year, Gadget... next year!
