Svensk Sommar

DOMINO books is in the Swedish countryside, working on comics, but with a spotty internet connection. We will be posting stuff regularly, but it’ll be choppy at best for a bit. Don’t worry about ordering though—any DOMINO books bought will still get to you. Swedes take their mail seriously, even in the country.

The Life Problem

Here’s a cover idea I’m thinking of using for my next book, The Life Problem, hopefully out in December

And here’s a page for that book that I just finished drawing (horrible scan, ineptly stitched together…but that’s what you get with in progress book preview posts!)

Keyhole and some archive drawings

Keyhole checks in, steady as a rock, with 4 new pages.

Also, for your enjoyment, here’s some drawings by me that I did last year for GRNY’s Post It show. We’re moving apartments here at DOMINO HQ, and just unearthed these.

New Story in Progress

Above is page 1 of a new long story I’m working on. And below is a sequence from it that I’m working on now. Sorry for the less than perfect scans…this story should be in print, along with Here I Am! , in comicbook format from DOMINO in December.

ŠKVER!

Clara and I worked on murals at this years ŠKVER festival, organized by Dunja Jankovic, one of my favorite artists. ŠKVER is a week long festival that largely centers around international artists paintings murals in a local Croatian shipyard—artists start coming into the shipyard after the workers have left around 3pm. It’s an incredible project—Mali Losinj, where the festival takes place, is largely a tourist destination—lots of fancy restaurants and beaches. ŠKVER, organized by local artists like Dunja, is an attempt to have something else on Mali Losinj—something for the people who live and work on the island. Here’s a small sampling of the work Clara and I did, plus some images by other artists. Hopefully I’ll have more pictures soon—there was a lot of work done over the week.

Back from Croatia

OOf…DOMINO is back from Croatia, totally exhausted! We spent a solid week there, painting murals in the hot sun. We’ll have photos for you tomorrow…but for now, we got 4 new pages of my favorite comic going right now, KEYHOLE by Jesse McManus!

Go on and start scrolling why doncha?

If you don’t know by now…

Keyhole by Jesse McManus is still killing it.

4 new pages are now up. Start spreading the word—the big finish is still a ways away, so you’ve got plenty of time to say ‘I was there before all the fuss.’

I’m leaving for Croatia for a week and will be out of email range. Any DOMINO orders will be sent after July 4th. Expect more updates then too! Bye for now internet!

Keyhole returns

After a brief delay, KEYHOLE is back with four new pages. Go look now!

ŠKVER!

DOMINO artists Austin English and Clara Bessijelle will be at this years ŠKVER FESTIVAL—which is basically a week of international artists painting a mural in Croatia. Organized in part by Dunja Jancovic and Komikaze. From June 26th to July 2nd. Expect a full report with pictures of the murals we make!

Also, a quick apology for the lack of updates this week. Been super busy on all fronts—more Keyhole and Domino news next week, I promise.
