I thought it was high time we updated the blogspot with some of our most recent art projects!
Here's a rundown of just SOME of the projects we've worked on so far this year...
In January we completed the artwork for our first graphic novel, "Demarcus Williams & the Job from Hell". It's a labor of love based off of Ethan's experiences working as a temp in the IT industry.
In February we printed a limited print run of 25 issues of the "Job from Hell" graphic novel.
Bird and I also began a series of horror themed collaborative paintings. We chose to illustrate futuristic "2099" versions of some iconic horror characters from the 80's and 90's including Jason, Freddy, Ghostface, Leatherface, Michael Myers, and Mars Attacks.
We also make STICKERS!!!!!!
In March we were invited as guests at Francis Marion University's "Cool Con" event and talked with a number of students. We gave some portfolio reviews and artistic advice to the next generation.
We also knocked out a few 18x24 posters that weren't horror themed...
In April Pretty Weird collaborated with another writer / artist team in the publication and promotion of a flip comic which paired an 8 page teaser of our "Job from Hell" graphic novel with the short story of "Paper Champion".
We debuted our collaborative flip book at the Columbia Toy Show and at our local comic book store, Scratch 'N Spin.
Ethan set out on the road and participated in the Twin City Comic Con and Florence Power Cons.
We submitted a digital version of our graphic novel to Comixology for review and eventual publication on their digital comics platform.
In May we were guests at the Free Comic Book Day festivities at Scratch 'N Spin.
Over Memorial Day Weekend we attended our very first Horror Con as vendors! The Carolina Fear Fest was AMAZING!
In June we completed a promo poster for our buddies over at the Screaming Soup website.
There are more things to come....
