Stand-Up Comics (Comic) Book Club
Hey! Ever wanted to be more literate? Check out our new (Comic) Book Club!
This month: The Big Book of Barry Ween, Boy Genius!
Latest Blog Entry (From Whiskered Writings on Infinite Earths)

Hello all, once again, Marc here to give you a sneak peak inside the ole' studio for a snapshot on what all we've been doing! I know we missed last week's production blog, but I figured it'd be better to keep you in the dark, then a shine a light on a less than productive week. Hey... it happens to the best of us. But we came back this week like gangbusters! Let's take a quick tour around the shop here, and see all what's being done.

In Matt-ville, Ironside is coming along nicely. With a pair of pages delivered for scanning, Matt's been hard at work inking the remaining 4 pages! These last pages deliver some serious action, and trust me, we can't wait to reveal Ironside's last stand as he goes toe-to-toe with the Unshaven Universe's most powerful hero, Liberty's Torch! And just WHY are they duking it out in the middle of the street? You'll find out soon...

In Marc-berg, a whirlwind of activity has been logged since we last spoke! First off, Chasing Daylight? Completely colored. From the pulse pounded page one to the thrilling climactic shot on page 21... all carefully bathed in color! And even cooler? The pages have started their journey into final production, as Marc completed lettering pages 1 and 2! And just to deliver that extra punch the fans deserve, Marc also started work retouching the cover! Those who got the "sneak preview" of Disposable Razors in 2009 got a taste of the final cover, but trust me, there's plenty left to do for the final printed piece.

Finally, we round the bend to Kyle-land. Kyle's been hard at work flatting the final inked pages dropped off by Matt. Color flatting, for those not-in-the-know, is the production process by which most final colors are laid in to final pages. By adding flat panels of color (and staying within the lines!) Kyle can deliver pages to Marc that cut coloring time by several hours... and that's certainly a good thing!

So, that's all for now. Stay tuned though. Next week, we induct a new member into the company!

As always, PLEASE find us fans. http://www.facebook.com/unshavencomics
Our fans will be taking part in a special little secret surprise this year at C2E2... so, if you haven't yet, become our fan!

Peace out kiddos!
