MeCAF ReCAP 2013

noreply@blogger.com (Dan Moynihan) — Tue, 21 May 2013 15:56:00 +0000

MeCAF was a blast once again this year! I loved meeting everyone who came out to the show and drawing lots and lots of monsters!

A Boston monster for José-Luis Olivares

These nice people requested "a one-armed monster who is depressed, but with a glimmer of hope."
Who can't relate to that?

And I got a request for a half-Chewbacca, half-vampire:

I also got myself a new fake ID from an enterprising young man at the show. I haven't tested it out to see if it works in Massachusettes yet.

Moira Swiatkowski snapped a good shot of us. Bob looks alert and ready for action, but I look a little out of it. I think I am actually in the midst of imagining my next monster to draw as I uncap a marker!

Maine Comics Arts Festival

The Maine Comics Arts Festival is this Sunday in Portland, Maine. I will be there with Bob Flynn, doodling in copies of Heeby Jeeby Comix and drawing free monsters!

You should come! Just look at what happened last year!

Infinite Corpse

I recently had the pleasure of contributing to a huge, crazy, online collaborative comic called Infinite Corpse, and it went live today!

See if you can find my panels, and then add your own!

LEXICON 2013

noreply@blogger.com (Dan Moynihan) — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 19:37:00 +0000

I had a great time last week at the newest comic convention, LEXICON, at Lexington High School. Awesome art teacher and cartoonist Cara Bean invited a few local artists to come share our work with a cafeteria-full of high school artists. It was fun to meet the artists, see what they were making, and even do some art trades. One of the highlights was receiving this portrait of myself in exchange for a drawing of Tomb Raider (!):

See more on Cara Bean's teaching blog (where I stole this photo from).

Pizza for lunch?

Sketchbook 28 & Sketchbook 28

noreply@blogger.com (Dan Moynihan) — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 21:42:00 +0000

When I was in high school, I started keeping a sketchbook. After I had gone through a bunch of them, I started numbering them to keep track. These were all 9 x 12 Strathmore sketchbooks. Then, about five years ago, I wanted to be able to doodle on the go more, so I bought a pocket-size sketchbook. These are great for taking to a coffee shop on my lunch break or just wherever I go. I started numbering these as a second series of sketchbooks.

And then I noticed that I had hit number 28 in both series! Woo! So I obviously go through the mini-sketchbooks a lot faster than the full-size ones, which makes sense.

Here are some selections from both sketchbooks 28:
"Here ya go, kid. Two scoops o' butterscotch. Now scram."
(Alternate caption: "Bill was so depressed, he didn't even notice that his cigarette was melting his ice cream cone. Fluffy felt bad for him")

Sardines on that? No extra charge!

Who Were Those Guys?

Doing this Kickstarter project caused me to recall something from my childhood—a rare sighting of a creature that I had not known to exist, and still less suspected that I might one day become . . . The Middle-Aged Skater!
