My newest graphic novel, LEON: PROTECTOR OF THE PLAYGROUND makes its' debut at the Baltimore Comic-Con, where they have pulled out all the stops for me and my little buddy--and I hope that you can be there to celebrate with me!<br />
<br />
This project has been a long time in the making, but the time has finally come. More to write but tip of my fisherman's hat to Marc Nathan and the great staff heading up the Baltimore show--we're going to do things real big!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://mkt.com/jamar-nicholas-studios/leon-pre-order" target="_blank">And if you can't get to Baltimore, I am still taking pre-orders (which will soon just be 'orders') here.</a> I will have editions of LEON in soft and hardcover, so feel free to buy both: One to keep on ice, the other to give to your cousin, or a kid you know who needs a new hero to look up to.<br />

One thing that changed from the original strip to the new dailies was Boogaloo's 'voice' which originally was a font made out of my handwriting, became my handwriting--freehanded right on the digital strip.<br /><br />Boogaloo is the only character in this universe with a different font for their dialogue--a small visual cue that he is different, so don't compare him to another.<br /><br />Cuz' they can't hang!

One of my favorite strips - I really wanted to take a peek into BLING CITY from the perspective of a Man on the Street--What does a citizen of BLING CITY think about Ice Tre', or better yet, have you noticed how quickly some people want to jump in front of a camera? Fame comes any way you can get it sometimes.<br />
<br />
Also, peep my man BRENT BROCKENSMITH, my favorite newsanchor, rocking the BLING CITY GLACIERS jersey. Ice Tre's reach is far-reaching.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><i>I always got excited whenever there was snow in a strip because figuring out how to layer it was a really fun process. And this strip had so many textures in it! The camo jacket, the emergency lights in the background, the snow β it was really busy color-wise, which is the sort of challenge I really like dealing with. Especially the camo β I freehanded that pattern off a couple of different references and ended up kind of winging it. Itβs also the only color in that panel that isnβt a variation of blue or red (or purple) β besides the gold ice cube tray on his hat, of course, which really helped center him as a focal point despite the chaos around him. I ended up doing a lot of red/blue color schemes throughout the strip.</i></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15061224629150946549noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013297.post-23749821501672285162015-11-17T00:01:00.001-05:002015-11-17T06:41:08.347-05:00DETECTIVE BOOGALOO: HIP-HOP COP DAILY | BOOM BOOM BOOM LET'S BLOW UP THE ROOM<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is the first place we see a glimpse of ICE TRE's powers. E and I went back and forth over the third panel for the longest time. This was probably the most leaning I did when we got started on the project.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><i>From the beginning I was playing a pretty tricky balancing game between how I personally approach coloring and the vibe of the original Boogaloo strip. I wouldnβt say this one is the turning point β itβd take me a few weeks to really get the hang of what I was trying to communicate, personally β but it was, I think, a definite stepping stone.
