This will be the last of the pages I share of Sunnyville Stories #11 today. These are photos of the pages in progress. The lines have been inked but I have yet to erase the pencil lines and start spotting blacks. Anyway, here’s the scene. Rusty has learned that Sam is actually good at drawing and plans to go to the same art school that her cousin Rachel attends.
Sam did reveal in Sunnyville #5 that she is a trained belly dancer and Rusty felt very awkward there too. So now we learn that Rachel taught Sam how to belly dance and Rusty tries to handle the thought of Rachel belly dancing too. His reaction is priceless as is how Sam and Margaret react.

I have some other pages to share today. Let’s jump ahead in Sunnyville Stories #11. Rusty is going to meet Sam’s cousins right now.
Eddie Macgregor is the bookish type, as if you couldn’t tell by his glasses. Continue reading
Work progresses on Sunnyville Stories #11 and it’s now in the inking stages. Anyway, I thought I’d share another page today. It’s one that is pretty much one of my favorite running gags in Sunnyville.
I have some rough pencils to share from parts of Sunnyville #11 pages 3 and 4 today.
As the Talbot family owns the general store, we shouldn’t be surprised to see Alexander and his older sister, Magnolia working in the store. Continue reading
I have some more pencil art of Sunnyville Stories #11 to share today.

In my plans to keep improving upon Sunnyville, I had to go back to the drawing board to take another look at what I created and even to look at what’s behind it. To do this, I had to take another look at all my books and refresh my memory about what I had learned.
One of the texts I own is Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud. This is a book that really needs to be read by anyone in this field. It takes a serious look at the medium.
The second chapter of the book “The Vocabulary of Comics” takes a look at icons, representation and the concepts of what icons mean in comics. Continue reading
It’s been awhile since I’ve done an updated map here regarding areas that have Sunnyville Stories (and Von Herling) in their libraries.
I had to change this map a bit since the District of Columbia is too small to show and the country of Australia is NOT a US state. Anyway, these areas all have libraries that presently have copies of Sunnyville Stories Volume 1 (ISBN 9780615653921), Sunnyville Stories Volume 2 (ISBN 9780989069601) and Von Herling, Vampire Hunter (ISBN 9780989069618).

At the time this post goes live, I have a lot of things I’m doing. Among them (and my top priority) is Sunnyville Stories #11. As one of the goals is to make the series mature and really show off what I can do, I’ve been aiming to open up the world some more.
To that extent, I’ve been developing some concept artwork. Continue reading
