I did a big intensive blog post over on Road Crew all about getting good KEYWORDS for webcomics. The princibles can obvioulsy be used for any website however so if it’s something you are into check it out!
Good Google KEYWORDS
The current Road Crew storyline has a scene set in an art gallery, it features pictures of famous rock stars, so here are the actaul drawing i did that were then used in the comic. Hope you enjoy them
I did the following page as my entry into a ZUDA comicsesque competition for Platnium Studios. Turns out It was a good thing I didn’t win as DJ Coffman can confirm. It’s from a comic that never was called RAZIEL MOON, about a guy who was left behind after the gods and Angels left the earth plane. Cool but undeveloped

Here’s some covers I did for various projects of my own and for other people. All older stuff so quality wouldn’t be great here.

The following was done for Cody Hess, an American Comedian who was trying his hand at comics. this is the first strip like comic that I did for the web.

This is from a comic called HOW I BECAME AN ONLINE ASSASSIN IN TEN EASY LESSONS. It’s from about two years back and was writen by JAIME RAMOS. It had an interesting start. I saw an ad online and applied. Jaime got very excited about my art and was all talk about getting me to do the job when suddenly he completely changed his mind and hired someone else. He showed me the other artists sample page and to be honest it sucked, so I didn’t really understand.
Anyway, a few weeks later he emails me and says that the other artists has stopped contacting him and would I be interested in doing it. I said sure, I had just finished up with THE END and wanted a new project, nothing else was on the cards. So we got through the first issue and it came time to send off to the publishers, TWOFOLDCOMICS.
This is when it went to shit. I got my contract from TWOFOLDS and it was disgusting. They were basically printing the comics through KA-BLAM and merchandise through CAFREPRESS and taking half the money. Also they wanted rights to the comic FOREVER. In return we got a free copy of the comic each. They wouldn’t even pay the $6 for a domain name and would seldom answer my emails.
I urged Ramos not to publish with them as we could do a far better job than they could and still own the comic. He said no, he had made a promise to TWOFOLDS abd he was going to stick to it. A few heated emails later and we were on bad terms. I had just thrown a month of work down the toilet. In the end me and Jaime got back on better terms but I still wasn’t going to work for TWOFOLDS. He went looking for another artist and then all of a sudden TWOFOLDS stopped replying to his emails. TF still used some of my images on their site after that tho.
Later we got back in touch and said that maybe we would have another go at it, but it turned out that neither of us had the HIGH RES files of the art anymore. I lost mine in a hard drive explosion and Ramos just didn’t have them. Ramos was also going through some serious personal troubles and we lost contact.
It’s interesting to see where I have improved as an artist since I did this one.
So here is what remains of the comic:

NO IRISH.
Here’s a comic that I wrote and drew over a year and a half ago in the hope of getting a grant from the great people in the ARTS OFFICE of IRELAND. They didn’t go for it but i think, flawed as it is that it will be something I will return to in the future. I was trying to do something different with a comic. Being Irish I though I could use the knowledge I had of the “TROUBLES” and use some of that reality in my strange world of two brothers. I also wanted to show how dramatic Ireland has changed over the last twenty years and how it would be unrecognisable if you had left, like a lot of people did, in the 1980’s.
The full script for this is pretty much finished and it’s quite weird. It’s full of religious symbols and magick thought but It’s also extremely violent. However it does come to a good resolution. The ending is actually what makes the story. Redemption and sacrifice and all that good stuff.
Hopefully finish this one day, but I reckon I’ll have to start from scratch as the current artwork is painful in places.
