Ssalefish GSO First Look #64 for 6.20.18
Happy HeroesCon weekend, but since I'm writing on Wednesday to get out ahead of everything, I figured I'd catch you up on a couple other things, namely my contribution to Brian "Smitty" Smith's SpongeBob Comics #81 and my friend Douglas's work on Mighty Avengers.net.
Smitty brought me on in a pinch to flat four pages, including the MC Escher-inspired piece above, and our newest hire Michole cut her teeth on the other 12 (the same book and same artist with which I got my start!). It was super tedious to do all those spots and shifting planes, but the end result is my favorite kind of page, where it almost works all on its own without the lineart. The whole story is a psychodelic trip of double-page spreads as Squidward finds enlightenment through yoga and Smitty knocked it out of the park!
Douglas has been contributing to Uncanny X-Men.net for years, and it's become a go-to reference for writers of the various X-books over the years. Well, now they've taken on Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and cross-referened the whole thing for characters like Wolverine, Beast and others. Check it out!
Beyond that, I'll see everyone at booths 618 & 717 (slightly to the left of the entrance on the middle aisle) all weekend long!
