I’m seriously considering publishing a comic book format “Legend of Bill sketchbook,” compiling a TON of my sketchbook sketches in a black and white book, including uncensored versions of some sketches as well as some never-before seen stuff. I wanna gage your interest… interested? I would have this book COMPLETED before it goes up for sale (unlike, um, the first LoB book). SOunds off and let me know what you think!

OK! The FORUM is working now! We had some issues with a patch on the LoB Forums reboot - but they are working now perfectly. Please jump in and let’s chat all things LoB (or whatever you want). Let’s DO THIS!! For starters - Bill’s Horse Naming Contest will soon begin there - simply create a login and click the activation e-mail and you are in!

Sometimes a panel with small detail can get lost in the pixels (whereas it’s seen clearly in print), so I am posting a closer, enlarged look at panel 2… as yes, it was FUN to draw. (and see below for the pencil and ink stage) And as ever, I want to acknowledge Don’s excellent coloring work. The man has skillz, and I’m thankful to have him on team LoB! ;-)  (Don, like me, is a Dork Tower fanboy too!) And now you can see Larry the Seagull from Robot Beach better!

And someone needs to put up curtains on the ladies room window. Ah, those crazy medieval times!

A behind-the-scenes look at the making of panel 2!

First the pencils and planning…

Then the inking… and of course, the final product above with the help of Don Kuehn, LoB colorist extraordinaire!

Don finished the excellent colors on the Pewfell art for Chuck Whelon’s Pewfell Omnibus! Awesome! I can’t wait to get my copy!
