Watchers

Hey Everyone,

I've been really busy lately producing my very first comic book, The Story of Us, and I'm proud to say that it is finally completed.  You can feel free to visit my gallery and check out the sequential work.  I really like the Pages 1&4 most because I could really work with my style rather than caricaturing a photograph.  I think this definitely showed me how much work I could get done in a small amount of time.  I started this project the first week of January and finished with a fully inked four page book with a color cover. Granted there are plenty of artists out there who will probably scoff at that achievement because they themselves can produce at a much higher rate than I.  But for the first time in a long time I'm blissfully happy.  Mainly because SHE SAID YES!  

I have decided to create my own studio with the new year.  As I was drawing TSOU, I received a great deal of job offers for freelance work across a great deal of media.  That being said, I'll be working on custom tattoo designs as well as flash.  I will also be doing a lot of logo and advertisement designs.  But most of all I will be focusing on my children's books and working with some really talented artists/writers continuing where TSOU left off.  

A small sneak peak of the work I'll be doing will be pin ups and possibly sequential work for the talented SRScribe and his Pistol Whip Press.  I'm hoping to have a new pin up out within the next few weeks.  Also I'll be working on some pin ups for the talented chrismaverick and his awesome web comic, Cosmic Hellcats.  All of these awesome people can be found with a simple google search or check out my watchers because I'm still not sure how to put links into my journal entries.

With all of this work I'll be posting haphazardly so I hope I can keep up with my ambitions.

Thanks for reading,

Chris K.

At the moment I am a freelance graphic designer and illustrator. Currently I'm working on two children's books, a website, and a collection of short comic book stories. Later this year I will be starting on my second pin up calendar "Get Pinned 2013." Hopefully we'll all be around to enjoy it.

well, if you ever wanted to do a pinup or something or a guest strip we're always looking for those. Of course we don't have any money or anything, but we'd credit you (and give you free books if you do a pinup for the book).

The big show in Pittsburgh is Pittsburgh comicon. We do that every year. You should definitely come out.

i'm totally down with doing a pin up. send me some visuals to reference and an idea of what you want and i'll make it happen. i think after i get a pin up...or two under my belt i'd be willing to do a small sequential. i'm all about friends helping friends so all i want is a copy of the published work. hope to hear from you soon!!! thanks a million mav.

Hey, this is the art teacher you met at the Comic Con. I've been thinking about you lately as I'm teaching my 8th-graders about creative careers and we are about to embark upon a design project. You had mentioned possibly being interested in communicating with my students about your work and I would love for this to happen!
