Two great reviews for my Webcomic

Brad Guigar, of Evil Inc. and Webcomics.com fame wrote a nice article on webcomics.com and he adds: ” It’s an incredibly well-drawn, well-written comic, and it supports what seems to be a genuine, sincere charity. And the idea of doing a webcomic to support a charity is one worth discussing here. We’ve certainly had projects that have supported charities from time to time, but an entire webcomic dedicated to a charity is new to me.”

And Gary Tyrrell from FLENN,(a webcomic blog about webcomics), writes: “…there’s something that you really need to see: Starthrower in Haiti is a new, twice-a-week webcomic that exists solely to raise money for the Starthrower Foundation, which sponsors young Haitian adults who wish to complete their education and/or apprenticeship.
It’s created by Daniel Lafrance, a Canadian storyboard artist, and it’s absolutely gorgeous. There’s a soft, pencil-ish quality to the colors, mixed in with a masterful sense of character design that’s neither too fussy nor too simple; think Herge’s ligne claire¹ and you’ve got a pretty good idea what it looks like. Check out what’s likely the only charity-dedicated webcomic since the now-folded Guest Strip Project.”

study for fourth story

Starting work on the fourth (and final) story for my webcomic Starthrower in Haiti and I’m looking at simplifying the look a bit. Every story has a different look which is dictated by the story itself…that’s just how I work…here’s my first study for a 6 pages story I haven’t really started writing yet and that is going ‘live’ in 3 and 1/2 weeks…and I’m starting a new job on Monday which will take more of my time than the previous one…the song ‘Under Pressure’ comes to mind…

Webcomic is live

This is very strange, I had a post like this up a couple of days ago and it ‘disappeared’….WEIRD!
Anyway, my webcomic is live! Go check it out, it’s for a good cause!
