More Comic Con ’07 Starring Us!

Hi everyone, Josh here!
Sorry for not posting anything for a while.
This is kind of old news but a few months ago Ryan Agadoni shared this video with me. It’s from comic artist Rob Scrab and it covers his visit to last years Comic Con. (To read more about Rob check out my July Comic Con '07 post.) About a minute into the video, at the part where Rob is discussing the SCUD poster art with colorist Jack Grey, look in the background. You might recognize Katie, Amy (Ryan Agadoni’s wife), Frankie Franco, and myself. Katie is wearing her now iconic knitted Princess Lea cap.

Now I can finally say that I’m in a Rob Scrab video!!

Speaking of Katie’s cap, it was quite a hit and everyone kept complementing her for it. At one point while we were looking a stand a guy behind the table told Katie "Wow! Cool hat!" He then ask Katie if she we mind taking a picture with him. Katie said yes and suddenly he pulled out a small Ken size doll of himself, handed it to Katie, and took a picture! After taking back his miniature clone he said thanks and gave Katie a small button with the words "LittleGeorge.com" on it. We went to the website and found this picture!I guess that wraps up our fifteen mintues of pseudo fame!

Superbusy

Yes, it has obviously been a very long time since our last post. This is not because we’re lazy but because we have been very busy both professionally and personally. I’m not sure how the average blogger finds the time to make posts in times like these. Anyway, let’s get ya’ll up-to-date!
The short comedy film of Superpowers has been completed and had its premier in San Diego on Saturday May 26.We got word that it was a huge hit and due to the audience demands, shown three times!
We missed the premier since we were in Dallas for the wedding of my lifetime friend Randall Knuton to a woman who is a true blessing from God, Ryanna. I was the Best Man! Thank you Randall and CONGRATULATIONS to both of you!! Speaking of weddings, my friend Ryan Agadoni also got married on the same day to a wonderful girl named Amy. CONGRATULATIONS!!
Superpowers was a great film to work on and I feel very grateful that my friend and director Mike Olson let Katie and I share in the creative development. I completed the comic book pages that were featured in a great opening credit sequence created by Jared Gerbrandt and Nathan Morgan.These pages were created using Photoshop, they do not exist in real life! I basically pasted the comic onto some scanned paper that I crinkled and then added a rough paper texture along with painting in some paper stains to show decay. Katie provided all the text for the comic book and the opening credits themselves! The film will be available online soon and when it is I'll let you know.

These days I’ve been working a large illustration and design project for a summer camp curriculum with a superhero theme. How funny is that? The projects are many and diverse (character, logo, costume, set, etc.) One of the projects I’m working on is a small four page comic that will act as a flyer for the camp program.
Here is a sneak preview:This job has taken up most of my time these days. I’ve been working on this while going to an 8-5 job with traffic, a life drawing class two days a week, my birthday (May 8), our trip to Dallas, and our computer was down for almost two weeks. I hope to have more info and images in my next post!
