  • The Inside Story: “The Guild of Seers”

    The “Inside story” is series of narratives describing the back story of the comic. Today we learn more about the Incarnum, the Guild of Seers Long after the First Born departed from the world, great kingdoms of Men arose.  They first dwelt in scattered tribes across the continent of Maora, surviving…

  • Comics, comics, and more COMICS!

    I’ve been in a bit of a graphic novel fad lately (neglecting all the books I had intended to read), and I wanted to blather on about them for a bit.  I don’t know why I’m finding them so attractive lately, probably because it’s the only way I can read…

  • More about the Tower of Magi and the Incarnum

    The Incarnum is going to play a very large part in this current chapter of the comic.  We’re going to spend some time in this tower and the neighboring village and learn quite a bit about its history.  But there is always more story than can fit into the comic. …

  • More about the moleskin

    Following up on my post from yesterday, here are some more snippets from my new moleskin notebook.  I was working out some ideas for an upcoming character’s dress.  Gee, I never thought making comics would force me to be a fashion designer! I kinda like how the third dress came…

  • S’more behind the scenes

    Right now I’m drafting up issue 57 of the Wizard of Quippley.  More and more I find myself sketching thumbnails on ol’ fashion paper.  So much so that I even picked up a moleskin notebook, so I can work on the comic wherever I go.  Here’s proof: I don’t know…
