A friend of mine as invited me to illustrate a Bande-dessinée he wants to pitch to europeen editors. Not sure if I can commit to it yet, but I’ll be doing some studies in the next few weeks to see how it feel. Here’s my first one!

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.”

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…

The third story for my ‘Startrower in Haiti’ webcomic is going to be a short one pager called “ANTS!” Here’s the first panel in inks…I hope Cassie can do the coloring on this page.

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!
