Echolalia
20th June, 2008

small addendum:  the Guest Art gallery has finally been updated.
Despite some backend streamlining for which I owe many, many thanks to Thurinus,  I've switched from thumbnail links to text links (as one can only hand-make so many thumbnails before one wishes to dive in front of a moving bus).  If you've sent me artwork before and don't see it in the updated gallery, or if I've failed to credit you correctly, please do let me know. 

A huge thank you to all of you who've submitted work.  I really am honored, and I'm sorry to have taken so long in updating the gallery to give your artwork some proper dues.

Newest comic page:
Lackadaisy Echolalia

Yeah, it probably reads as though it should be accompanied by "Yakkity Sax", but I had fun drawing it. There should be another page up next week too.

  • Lackadaisy Scrapbook large and small posters have been added to the store.

  • At long last, though I'm still puzzling a bit over layout in some areas, the editing for all presently existing comic pages going into Book 1 is complete. Correspondingly, I've replaced a lot of the earlier pages with the newly touched-up versions. The difference in some is pretty drastic as far as I'm concerned, but I have no idea if anyone else will notice the change. In any case, the updated pages are 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 17, 18, and 19.

  • Speaking of the publication, though, check out the fun little Lackadaisy animatic Renoir Comics has playing at their web site.

  • There are some Lackadaisy reviews up at Comic Fencing too. They’ve got an interesting group approach to critique - their site content is well worth a look.

  • Also, courtesy of Jon Herron, there's a new addition to the desktops collection here.

Lastly, there are some other site changes (I should hope I can call them enhancements) around the corner. I've rambled on enough for now, though, so I'll post more about that shortly.

New pages are in progress, but here's some some new artwork in the meantime (click the thumbnail):


 

Houdini
18th April, 2008

A small update today. First, there's a new page up:

Lackadaisy Houdini

There'll be more soon...

----------------------------------- 

Of somewhat lesser interest, I've also replaced some older pages with updated art:

Introduction page #1 -- previously there was a drawing of the riverboat "The Admiral" right in the top row of panels. While this boat did exist in 1920, it was named "The Albatross" at the time and had not yet received its sleek, metal art deco veneer, so this was a historical inaccuracy I felt needed to be resolved. The drawing has been replaced by a Streckfus Steamer - something much more characteristic of the St. Louis Mississippi riverfront at the time. These "infernal noise machines" were famous for featuring live musical acts in the early days of jazz as they traveled up and down river.

Lackadaisy Rumrunner -- The artwork for this particular page was simply so old and so out of sync with the rest of the pages, it needed to be refurbished. It's easy to lose sight of how much unwitting evolving (or devolving, depending on who you ask) artistic style and character designs can undergo over a span of time.
