A Jukebox in Motor City…

What kind of music does the 133rd listen to? Well, that would be a good question. During the series we will definitely get to see Lexi discover rock and roll. But everyone will have to wait a little bit to see that as it will be important to a story arc later [...]

Sketch This!

At the moment we are looking into whether or not we want to include page breaks for each [...]

You are here. (Insert arrow pointing at you.)

I am preparing to letter issue #4, and #5. When I get the pages from my last blog entry lettered I will post them again, so everyone can see the difference between them. It is really interesting to look at a page lettered and un-lettered. It’s strange, I feel so guilty for [...]
