Return of Ghost Pirate Skeletons!

Well, since I'm not on my way to California for the big 40th Anniversary party at Disney's Haunted Mansion, I may as well do some work, eh? And grumble. Lots of muttering and grumbling going on here over not getting to Disneyland for my birthday, and for the big 40th anniversary.

New studio, new clients, new cartoons! Here's the latest toon, from The Inquiring Minds in The Ghost Pirate Skeletons of Three Craters Lake!



There's also a new Knight and Day comic... the first in a loooong time, but not the last. Yo can see that at HappyGlyphs.com, or check out the previous blog where you can also see pics of my new and awesome studio!

Cheers, JOHN :0)

My New Studio

All right, so it's not everything I've dreamed of (there's no closet), but I'm pretty happy with my new work place. HappyGlyphs Studios has a new home, where I can finally get back to work. :0)

Don't believe me? Check out the brand new Knight and Day cartoon.



Why a new Knight and Day toon when The Ghost Pirates of Three Craters Lake isn't done yet? All will be revealed, in time! Meanwhile, The Inquiring Minds will return to their Pirate adventure shortly, and we'll have some new Knight and Day stuff as well.

Also, we have a brand new Art Gallery, where you can purchase some of my best art as high quality giclee prints. Check that out here... www.HappyGlyphs.com/shop3.html



So, back to the studio... I finally have a place to hang my original artwork again,and most of my cartoons, comic strip collections, art, reference, and other important books are all in one place. And of course there's room for lots of toys!

I also have a new work shop, so expect more models and other projects sometime... probably after winter hits. :0)



Of course, now that I'm working again, the studio is already becoming a bit dishevelled! Oh well, I'll clean up a bit. Just a bit, though... all this chaos inspires creativity, don't ya know? :0)

Cheers, JOHN :0)



PS What's on my iPod? Fish: Communion What an awesome Live Album! I've been listening to it non stop for a week now. :0)

Leggo my LEGOS!

What's better than The Inquiring Minds? Could be LEGO Inquiring Minds!

This illustration was a lot of fun at first, but became a major endeavor. That's fine, because I wanted a nice portfolio piece to show off my Adobe Illustrator skills, but man! What a lot of work. OF course, I was in the process of moving at the time, so it might not have been so tough if I just sat down and worked on it, instead of working while packing my studio up. :0)

Anyways, this is yet another reason for the delay on The Ghost Pirate Skeletons of Three Craters Lake, which shall return this week! Huzzah! This and another LEGO piece are featured in the next cartoon, as you'll see soon.

Meanwhile, please enjoy the illustration and feel free to comment on it, unlike my freinds at FaceBook who only seem to comment when someone posts a baby picture. I mean, c'mon, people! I worked hard on this! :0)

Meanwhile, I'm working on yet another book, and you can find snippets of that at my travel blog, The Travelling 'Toonist.

And oh yeah, the new HappyGlyphs Comics Website is just about ready, so check it out!

Cheers, JOHN :0)
