Ft. Collins Sketchbook

Last week I took a long overdue, much needed vacationette in Ft. Collins CO. visiting my old friend Jack and his family. I brought some un-inked pages for the next Black Sheep but ended up spending most of my time doodling whilst chewing the fat. It worked out nicely as I almost never draw for drawing’s sake. I need to pick up the pen more often without a project or product in mind.

A few random bitz

I woke up on the last day in Ft. Collins with this in my head.

More bitz including Chaz Bono and a sketch Jack's son Declan drew for me :)

Friends,

After some time away from the business I have returned to my favorite write-off: the comics “business”! Truth to tell, I never stopped. I just slowed down a bit…okay, a lot. To that end, here is my latest offering.

I know what you’re thinking – “Teats on a Boar? He may be rusty, but he still has those commercial instincts”. You are correct. TOAB collects some of the comics I’ve released in different venues ca. 2007 – 2011, as well as some unreleased and experimental pieces while Black Sheep has been on hiatus (more on that later). I’m in the process of updating my comics portfolio but in the mean time you can preview a few pages here.

Golfito - outtake from Black Sheep #3

The Reservoir from This Is A Souvenir: The Songs of Spearmint & Shirey Lee

VeloMonk - originally printed on Not My Small Diary #16

These and other goodies are available in my online store – http://frednoland.com/route_html/store.htm

Dirty Comics

As you can imagine, my contribution falls well short of the “erotic” category (I have to retain some of my Southern reservedness after all) but is awesome nonetheless. I got a sneak preview of some of the other contributors pieces (so to speak) and am happy to say it is a very impressive line-up! You’re sure to learn something new so come on down!
