It Calls...
Alrighty folks. I've been uber-pumped to be working on Cthulhu so I threw together the first real ad for it last night. It's short but it makes me giddy with anticipation. *GLEE* Enjoy.

N. Frank Daniels is My Homeboy III
Hey all,
I failed to mention something big that has happened to me. This is for several reasons. Reason #1: I haven't actually been allowed to talk about it until very recently. Reason #2: I've been pretty goddamned busy. So here it is...
My good buddy, N. Frank Daniels' first novel futureproof was picked up by Harper Perennial, an imprint of Harper Collins (you know, that huge-ass, international publisher). And the good Mr. Daniels asked yours truly to contribute the cover art for the novel. Being a fan of futureproof I was floored and honored. Of course, Harper can veto my art at a whim so it's technically not definite. But when Frank and I get something together I will post it here and keep you all posted as to how it pans out.
I just wanted to share the good news with you all, so that's all for now. Take care.
- K.
P.S. You should all visit Frank's MySpace: www.myspace.com/nfrankdaniels to find out more about him and futureproof.

Searching for a Former Clarity...
Okay, so I'll give you folks a bit of a forewarning. This isn't technically an art post or announcement post or anything like that. However, I felt it was still relevant to the creative process so I'm posting it.
Earlier this evening I talked to a friend of mine whom I haven't talked to in over a month. Now for him and I, that is a very long time as we used to live only a few blocks away from one another and hang out several times a week. And at least once a week, we'd have a long in-depth conversation regarding whatever was going on in our lives.
Today I realized how important those conversations were. They help me clear my mind of all the bullshit that clogs up the brain meats. They give me focus and clarity. Whether it's expelling stupid random information or deep philosophical ideas, our conversations always leave me feeling mentally refreshed and ready to get back to it.
Today for example, we discussed that sometimes it's important to do things that we wouldn't normally do so that we can at least attempt to do the things that we love in the future. For my friend it's going back to school and eventually going to grad school. For me it's working a shitty job on top of doing art work to pay my bills... (art alone does not put food on the table and keep the lights on... not yet, at least.) But it was good to have that conversation and to remind myself of why I'm living my life the way I am right now.
So now I'm feeling much better and much more motivated. So here we go... back into the game.

Hidden in His Coat is a Red Right Hand...
So as you can probably guess at this point that for Halloween I'm going to be Mike Mignola's big red paranormal investigator: Hellboy. I built The Right Hand of Doom from styrofoam pieces I bought at A.C. Moore and a hot glue gun (plus some Colonial Red spray paint.) This has more or less been a pretty big project for me for that last couple of weeks. I made the hand, made my own horns, am sprucing up a horse shoe, and a toy gun. I should make a pretty badass Big Red (or so I like to think.) I'll post pictures from the All Hallows festivities coming up.

Call of the Cthulhu
Hey folks,
I've got some big news for you folks. Some of you may have noticed that I've delved back into the works of horror/sci-fi genius H.P. Lovecraft yet again with the recent t-shirt designs and such. I've been re-reading some of his more notable tales especially stuff pertaining to The Cthulhu Mythos. This is because I found out the good Mister Lovecraft's works are entering the public domain as of January 1, 2008. So I've decided to adapt Call of the Cthulhu for comics. Now it won't be a direct adaptation as I don't think the story works as well in the comics media, so I'm going to make it a bit more adventure oriented while still attempting to maintain the sheer terror and suspense of the original. It'll probably turn into a 3 or 4 issue mini-series that I'm simply going to call Cthulhu. Well I'll leave that for you folks to roll over in your brains for awhile. I'm not going to even discuss release dates or anything simply because it's really still in the development stages; especially with me still drawing the first arc of The Red Eye and still scripting Pulp: The Old Kingdom.
Well adios for now folks.

Naked No More!
EDIT: I got booted 'cause everyone liked the dude with the cigarette but no one liked the babe. So I edited it and resubmitted the design. I'll let everyone one know when it comes up!
ORIGINAL POST:
Hey guys.
I submitted a design to Threadless tees and they accepted it for voting. So I need every single one of you guys to go and vote for my design! It's called Roman Noir and I think it's really killer. So if you guys could visit the link below and vote I'd greatly appeciate it!
If I win Threadless will make it into a shirt! Thanks in advance everyone!

STUFFS
Hey everyone,
I've got a bit of a rant brewing so here we go. *Takes a deep breath*
First and foremost a huge thank you that made Rotten Jack's Creep Show a huge fucking success. Tom, Ryan, Bob, and Chrisy, you guys all have my thanks for making the evening as tremendous as it was. I know a lot of folks busted their asses to get that thing together and because of them an insanely awesome time was had by all.
Second, The Red Eye: Lost to the Future Issue #1 is available through Lulu now! The goal is to be able to release each issue bi-monthly. I needed to set a realistic release schedule so that I could actually keep up with it. If I can get an issue out earlier than anticipated I will try to. But at this point expect them every other month, especially with the Art of the Underground Comics stuff starting to get underway.
Third on the agenda: Pulp is going to become it's own full-length comic book. I'm going to start scripting The Old Kingdom but if it looks like TOK is going to take a little while I might draw a story called The House of the Walking Dead based on a short film I did my last semester at Oneonta. It'll just depend on different factors.
Finally, I'm going to be at Buffalo ComiCon. The con will be Sunday October 28, 2007 10am-5pm and will be held at The Marriott Hotel on the Millersport Highway in Amherst, NY. Visit the previous link for more details and guest information.
Well, that's all folks.

Pulp Update
Hey folks,
I got some good news and bad news (depending on how you look at it, I suppose.) Pulp will not be featured in the first issue of The Red Eye (That's the bad news). However, Pulp will be becoming it's very own feature-length comic book. It's looking like the issues for The Red Eye are going to take up the full 23 pages, so there's no room for the Pulp pages. So, I've decided that Pulp will become my side-project per say. So that means you have a new comic to look forward to in 2008! Well, that's all for now.

Illustrations, Writings, & Comics
Hey folks,
I know I've been sorta M.I.A. for the last couple weeks. It's just because I've been hard at work on the first issue of The Red Eye as well as some other things. But I've got some news for all y'all. Let's start with the most recent:
The good Mister N. Frank Daniels has asked me to do some more illustrations for his upcoming novel! I'll have illustrations for 4 of 5 chapters. Which makes me very happy inside. (It should make you feel the same way.) I'm very excited to be working with Frank. He's a great guy and a tremendous writer and extremely passionate about what he does. You guys should check out his MySpace.
Next, Miss Chrisy "Sdhesive" DeHos and I are getting back to work on our twisted children's book The Little Book of Nightmares. I'm going to be meeting with the lovely Miss DeHos tonight to discuss the new direction of the book amongst other things.
Finally, when you little goblins go to Rotten Jack's Creep Show in Septmeber make sure you pick up your Convention Booklets! Yours truly will have a 3-page mini-comic inside! The fine gents over at Rotten Jack's asked me to contribute something to the booklet. So I put together a comic in the vein of the old 1950's Tales from the Crypt comics!
Well, that's all for now, kiddies. Take care of yourselves.

The Eye is Coming...
Okay okay. I've been talking about The Red Eye for quite some time now but haven't revealed much beyond the fact that it's a "sci-fi mystery epic." So now is the time to actually talk about it a bit. I'm a little less than half way through drawing the first issue so I figure it's time to start getting you people excited for this thing.
A lot of folks have been asking "What is The Red Eye?" Well here's your answer. The Red Eye is a science fiction noir comic book that I've been working on for over a year now. It's pretty much a combination of my favorite types of comics. I love the Frank Miller hard-boiled noir stuff, I love the detective based Batman stuff, and I love sci-fi stuff. So why not throw it all into a blender and see what came out? What I got was The Red Eye. Set in the year 2365 on the distant planet Andari Prime, The Red Eye takes all that mystery noir stuff that I so love and throws it into a killer science fiction setting. So I get to do kick-ass mysteries and still draw aliens and spaceships and cool weapons.
And the character The Red Eye is pretty awesome as well (if I may say so.) He's not your typical strong-jawed good-guy hero. I mean don't get me wrong he's a good guy, but while he's battling the bad guys, he's also battling his own inner demons. And a lot of that will be because of his past (which will be revealed at later date.)
The series is going to kick off with the first story arc, tentatively titled "Origins," sometime this year. I'm shooting for a summer release for the first issue because I'd like to have that at The Creep Show in September. So what is The Red Eye? I'd say it's Batman, Sin City, and Fear Agent all tossed into a blender with a hint of Hellboy. Well, I've revealed enough for now. Keep checking back for more info!

P.S. Silent Boy versus Hell is now in the coloring stages.
A lot of folks have been asking "What is The Red Eye?" Well here's your answer. The Red Eye is a science fiction noir comic book that I've been working on for over a year now. It's pretty much a combination of my favorite types of comics. I love the Frank Miller hard-boiled noir stuff, I love the detective based Batman stuff, and I love sci-fi stuff. So why not throw it all into a blender and see what came out? What I got was The Red Eye.

Hardcover cover cover cover...
Hey folks,
As I'm gearing up to get The Misadventures of Silent Boy Volumes I - III: The Gruesome High Year Book 2003 - 2006 hardcover ready for publication awesomeness I figured I'd share the cover art with you wonderful folks. It's nothing too fancy. I wanted it to look like an actual year book so here it is!
(IMAGE RETURNING SOON)
This book is gonna be pretty damn awesome considering it features every issue of TMoSB ever. The only thing not in this book is Silent Boy versus Hell. So yeah. You NEED this book. There will also be sketches from Pulp and a bunch of awesome pin-ups. And my good friend/guitarist for The Knockdown, Jason Mosher, will be doing the introduction, which makes me obscenely excited.
Well, that's all for now folks. Have a good night.

Studio/Workspace Tour
This is a bit of a joke/parody of the featurette CBR is currently doing about different writer & artists' studios. But also mayhaps it will helpful to anyone who is interested. So here we go.
(IMAGE RETURNING SOON)
This is where I do all my pencils and inks (which means sitting there drinking tea in my pajama pants until 4am). Nothing too fancy. I got me a little lazy susan thing to hold my pencils and pens. It's actually set-up at my dining room table right now 'cause I don't have a real office at the moment.
(IMAGE RETURNING SOON)
Here is where I do all my script writing and coloring. I'm actually waiting on the funds to get a new scanner so I can scan the comic boards I've been working on. I run a G4 eMac right now. I plan on getting more RAM in the very near future so it runs a little smoother. I also have a Wacom Graphire3 drawing tablet, I'd like to upgrade to an Intuos or Cintique once I have more monies but that's just not gonna happen right now. I usually use Abobe Photoshop CS2 for coloring and putting the books together. I do all my web design stuff on this computer as well. This is actually setup in my bedroom right now due to the lack of a real office once again.
(IMAGE RETURNING SOON)
Here's my sketchbook (the black book) and my note book (the maroon book). I use the note book for brainstorming different ideas usually while lying in bed at 5am. There's also a note pad there that I use to write down little crap for myself. You can also notice the mirror that I use to help me figure out facial expressions and to help me get dressed in the morning. (How risque!) There's also some other papers there; some reference material for Pulp. You can also see my Hellboy action figures. Yes, I am a huge dork and obsessive Hellboy/B.P.R.D. fan.
(IMAGE RETURNING SOON)
Here's my bookshelf with some of my comics. Mostly there's trade paperbacks and graphic novels, but there are some loose issues mixed in. I use these as reference material and of course for pleasure reading. I keep buying comics telling myself that it's for inspiration. There's also some toys and knicknacks on the shelf.
(IMAGE RETURNING SOON)
Here's my corkboard that is remarkably empty at the moment. Usually, it's cluttered as all hell, usually to the point where I can't find shit.
(IMAGE RETURNING SOON)>
I keep a lot of toys and little crap around just to keep the environment fun. Also some action figures are great for coming up with different poses. I especially like using my Roger and Lobster Johnson figures for that. As you can see my geekiness runs from Star Wars and Lord of the Rings to Invader Zim and Ghostbusters and more. And there's a beer-cozey that my friend Eva made me.
(IMAGE RETURNING SOON)
I also have lots of movie and music posters up. I'm a big Evil Dead and Nightmare Before Christmas fan as you can see. I've also got a couple movie banners (the little signs they put above the entrance to the theater so you know what movie you're going to see) that I got from a friend who works at a theater.
Well that's it for now. Or at least until I have a proper office. Hope you guys enjoyed seeing my disaster of a workspace.

Changes a'Comin'...
Hey folks,
I'm going to be making some changes to the Zombie Worx website over the next week or so. I'm even considering redesigning it. A lot of that will depend on time and patience. Heh. I really want the site to be attractive on all web browsers. 'Cause while it looks purdy on Safari and FireFox, it looks awful on IE due to the lack of png support. So... yeah...

Pulp Comics...
Hey guys,
I've hinted at the fact that there might be something else coming out along with The Red Eye. And there is. So I've decided that it's time to officially announce what the hell it is. I'll be calling the back-up featurette Pulp. Pulp will more or less be whatever the hell I want it to be. I'm going to use it to tell all sorts of different stories that pay homage to the earlier days of comics. There will be horror stories, fantasy stories, adventure stories, superhero stories, maybe western stories (though I'm not very good at drawing horses). The featurette will more or less run the gamut of whatever is tickling my fancy at the moment. They'll be 5-6 page black and white features. Each 4 issues of The Red Eye will equal one full issue of Pulp. The first installment is a fantasy tale that I've been working on called The Old Kingdom. Well, I've already said too much. So sit tight and keep checkng back for more news. Goodnight all.

A New Beginning...
Hey guys,
So I decided that I should start an art blog of sorts. So... uh... here it is. I'll use this to post about all my upcoming projects and post previews of artwork and stuffs. So keep checking back for all sorts of awesomeness. Hopefully I'll actually update this unlike my freaking LiveJournal. Well take care.
