I love your work! It's so original and expressive! What are the chances of getting signed Eekeemoo comics from you?

One more question: Have you had any problems getting your pencil work to scan/print properly? I'm working on something new myself and have been considering doing it in pencil instead of the traditional inked look of most comics. I just like my pencils a lot better.

[ Posted by willymj on Aug 21st, 2008 3:03 AM ]... I scan at 300dpi, then adjust the brightness and contrast in photoshop and then save out as a jpg at 72dpi. However I draw some work in blue and the change the cyans and blues to black in photoshp... this gives a purer pencil line.

Hey there - I discovered you here on Comicspace but also checked out your blog and site. Really like your style, especially the Eekeemoo stuff. Do you work entirely in pencil? Do you really do each page in one sitting?

[ Posted by willymj on Aug 17th, 2008 4:25 PM ]... Yep... Pencil and black ink. I always draw in one sitting. It takes about 5 hours depending on how much snow I have to draw :) Thanks for looking it means a lot to get feedback.

Heya Willy. Very cool work here. Thanks for the add.

your art is so cute!
it would make a great cartoon because it feels animated the way you have drawn it!!

	[ Posted by Steve_Ince on Jun 6th, 2007 2:56 AM ]... Life's pretty good, thanks. Glad you like the new story, I think it's going to run for months... You look like Dankly? Is it the blue fur or the scraggy ears? :)
	[ Posted by willymj on Jun 6th, 2007 3:34 PM ]... Ohh It's the ears... mine always need and iron in the morning!
	[ Posted by Steve_Ince on Jun 7th, 2007 2:53 AM ]... Just don't set the iron too hot or you'll singe the fur.
