SIGMUND FREUD

 



Here’s another comic that once appeared on the webcomic site, but was “lost” for a while. Now it’s been restored and is back for all to see.

I drew this comic over 25 years ago - long before “mashups” of Jack Kirby’s work became a thing in popular culture (or at least before I was aware of them). The idea came from a dream I had about reading a strange comic, and I decided to bring it into the real world. I copied some of my favorite Jack Kirby images from my own collection, and my good friend Ria - a talented writer with a great ear for dialogue - provided the words.

ANTISOCIAL MEDIA, Updated

 So, my Facebook page is back, but my 3,000 friends and 300 followers have been purged. It is a painful loss, and a pretty devastating blow to promoting my art and comics.

I am accepting Facebook Friend Requests! https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61577965446182

ANTISOCIAL MEDIA

 Apparently, my Facebook and Instagram accounts are disabled. It looks like some hacker broke into those accounts and did something - I don't know what - to get them all shut down. If any of you get any weird requests or messages from "me" on those platforms, please disregard them!

DELIA ON THE MOON - Page 36

 


When I wrote this dialogue about a year ago, I never dreamed that it could become topical in relation to real events!


NOTE: I screwed up last week and posted a page out of order. THIS is the real page 36, the other one was page 38, and will be reposted in correct sequence when it comes up. My apologies for my ineptitude

HAIL JEFFREY

 



Here's the first appearance of JEFFREY, published in CHROME FETUS COMIX over twenty years ago. The comic was also reprinted in Danny Hellman's TYPHON in 2008 and eventually FOLLY in 2012.

(I'm pretty sure I posted it online before, but after shuffling websites so many times, it needed to be reposted again.)

The comic was drawn as a political satire, and, unfortunately, is even more accurate today than when I first drew it two decades ago. Reader beware: As with all things that have an overt political theme, the contents of this comic may be offensive and upsetting to sensitive readers.

Drawings

 


Learning to ink with brush and India ink. One of my next comic projects will be using lots of black and shadows, so I figured a bottle of ink is cheaper than buying a lot of markers and shit. Tried it out on these potential character designs for the next comic project. Whaddya think???

THE LAST TWO PAGES OF COCHLEA & EUSTACHIA ARE HERE!

This concludes the comic. I started this particular storyline in September 2014. At the time, I genuinely thought it would take me about eleven months to complete this story, not eleven years.


Admittedly, I tend to start lots of side-projects which vie for my attention. I juggle all these various comics projects and work on them in a rotating schedule at an irregular pace. Eventually, one of them manages to come to a (hopefully) satisfying conclusion.


I do have many future projects planned for this site. I thank you all for your time and attention!

CHROME FETUS COMIX NOW ON PAYHIP

 


I've moved all my stuff onto a new selling platform - Payhip - and will be shutting down my Etsy shop at the end of the month. (Eventually, I'll build my own online store thingy without any third-party barnacles.) I do prefer Payhip layout to Etsy's, but I wish they featured a shipping calculator rather than flat fees for shipping.


In these days of financial upheaval and uncertainty, the best way to reboot the economy is to buy art directly from creators. Just ask any artist! Check out the new shop here: https://payhip.com/CHROMEFETUSCOMIX

Mechanical Stilt-Woman Painting 1


 


I guess I've decided to make paintings based on the Mechanical Stilt-Women Drawings. This is my first attempt. It's acrylic on 2'x4' wood board. Hopefully, future attempts will show improvement?
