Come and meet me IN PERSON!! 

The book is finished and has been printed and I will have them for sale at the Kazoo Zine and Comic Expo. Please see the blog for details.

I will have three different book bundles available at the show. The first one is just a regular signed copy of the book which will cost $25. The second is an Artist’s Edition of the book which includes an inked sketch and/or a personalized message on the inside for only $5 more. The third is a show exclusive bundle where you save two dollars if you buy an extra copy of the book for a friend or family member.

I will also be giving out FREE LEMONADE and GERALD BOOKMARKS! No purchase necessary!

While the expo only takes place on Saturday, it’s part of Kazoo Fest 2012, which is a five day music and art festival that takes place from April 11th – 15th all over downtown Guelph, so check out the other events this week too.

See you there!

The books have been printed! AAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!

Just casually reading a random book while wearing a random shirt and drinking out of a random mug.

The bad news is that you can’t actually buy the books from the website yet because I need to set up a Paypal account, which would require me to have a bank account which is something that I don’t actually have at the moment. But I’ll set something up soon! However, you can buy the book from me at the Kazoo! Zine and Comic Expo this weekend. I will provide the details on that in another blog post.

Hey, guys. New comics are coming soon, I swear. In the mean time I thought I’d show you this awesome piece of fanart I just got from Shane Kirshenblatt. Shane is a freelance illustrator, teaching artist, and the author of the graphic  novel series Dorothy Gale: Journey to Oz. Shane was my art teacher from the time I was twelve to fifteen. He taught me a lot of what I knew about drawing before I started Lemon Inc. and has continued to support my endeavors. One of the ways that he has done so is by drawing me this pinup. I really appreciate the attention to detail that he put into it. If you look closely you’ll notice that even the sun, the clouds, and the hills, are shaped like lemons.

Here’s the Tommy pumpkin I carved last year, and the Jeff pumpkin I carved the year before that.

Hey, I did a guest comic for Sean McLean over at Underwhelmed. You may remember him from the fanart I did for him, the fanart he did for me, or the time he featured Elephanté in one of his comics.

Last year I contributed a comic and a recipie to the Webcomics: What’s Cooking? cookbook. Now they only have 1000 cookbooks left and they’re trying to sell all of them by American Thanksgiving. Get it while you can! All of the proceeds will be donated to the National Food Banks to help feed families in need.

The cookbook is only $15 dollars but you can get it for 7.5% off when you use the code, Tim (case sensitive), when you check out. Click on the banner below to order a copy for yourself or a friend who likes comics or cooking.

This is a self portrait I drew for the back of the Lemon Inc. book. It’s a lot harder to draw myself than I would have thought it would be. The last time I did a finished self portrait was back in 2008, I think, and I’ve been meaning to do a better one for a while.

I already posted the illustration I did for the cover of Lemon Inc. Volume 1 but here is the final cover with the logo and volume number in place. Oh yeah, and apparently the first volume is going to be called “Freshly Sqeezed”.

Hey guys! The book isn’t finished yet but here’s the cover illustration without any of the logos or titles. I’d been procrastinating doing it for ages because I wanted it to be perfect and stuff. I’m actually really happy with how it turned out. The edges of this image will probably be cropped off to fit the dimensions of the book but I intend to have a print of the full image available.

I really wanted to go all out on the colouring so I decided to try out some new methods. I got a lot of the methods and ideas I incorporated into it from these really great colouring tutorials by Tony Cliff who does the awesome webcomic, Delilah Dirk, and has had his work in the Flight anthologies. My colouring still doesn’t look as good as his but I think his methods will have a significant impact on the way I colour in the future.
