I love drawing other cartoonist’s characters in my own style (and vice versa when they do it of mine), and I’m a fan of Tom Dell’Aringa’s Marooned (and interview with Tom at the excellent webcomic news site Digital Strips is up currently, btw), and I was doodling on my Cintiq, and doodled this lil’ Captain John (his title character in the strip). Hm… maybe I should color it up and send it over to him … or maybe add some Orion-slave girl type babes on the Cap’n's arms…

I’m proud to announce that I’m now one of the “Wizards of Ur.” The Wizards of Ur is the premier sketch blog for fantasy comic strip artists working in a cartoon illustration style.
Among the Wizards are Chuck Whelon of Pewfell, Nate Piekos of Atland, James V. West of Pan-Gea, Steve LeCouilliard of Much the Miller’s Son, Travis Hanson of World of the Broken Moon and A.P. Furtado of Elf ‘n Troll, and now, of course, Legend of Bill. Some wonderful talent, these wizards be, and I’m proud to join them in the Tower of Ur. The only thing Bill wants to know is – where does he wash his loincloth?

Was doing some quick, rough sketching as a break during my nightly work, literally only moments ago from this very post, and created a whole lil’ storyline based on this husky barbarian dude to the right, “Kruul.” Look for him soon. 
Ah, the tales of mystery & wonder that bellow forth from within the hidden, blank-paged depths of the magic tome known only as ”The Sketchbook,” singing their distant elven songs of goodness upon thine soul like a beacon of newly-minted sunshine shamelessly licking the face of your imagination!

Our Legend of Bill correspondent Julian Sanchez Gonzalez has so kindly sent me a plethora of great LOB Spanish translations, which I have been remiss in posting (gonna start a special section for “International Legend of Bill”) – so, to get in the groove, here are the two most recent fruity strips in Spanish, straight from Spain! Thank you, Julian!!

A very quick, rough pen sketch I did over the weekend in my sketchbook of a typical tavern in Legend of Bill.
