Links, News, Updates, Everything


I got linked/recommended by Rick Bradford/Poopsheet and Steve Stwalley/Stwallskull in the last couple of days. Thanks fellas! And hello to visitors from there.

The weekly comic strip is lagging as usual, I'll probably have something by the weekend, or maybe next week? I really only started working on it tonight. Once I get 25 or 30 done i'll make a mini-comic of the best ones. Look for it at SPX or APE, I suppose, if it gets done.

I will also be a COMICON INT'L next week, Thursday thru Sunday. I'll be creeping around the Sparkplug Comic Books table. Also there will be Dylan Williams, Trevor Alixopolous, Jeff LeVine, Tom Neely, Tim Goodyear, Jason Shiga, more ! I'll be wearing this t-shirt:

Sketches for Comic Strip

Here's a couple of sketches I did to practice for this week's strip (coming next week!). This is Penny, Danny Dutch's girlfriend, and I've used her so seldom I always have to re-learn how to draw her. Sorry about the weird colors; she looks like a scary doll.

Danny Dutch Weekly Comic Strip #18

For the week of May 26 thru June 1.

I guess I'm going to have to stop calling these weekly strips, since I never get them done on time. I'm working on a 60-70 page story in my sketchbook, but it's going to be in my boring style and not my funny style, coming in 2009!

Danny Dutch Weekly Strip #14

For the week of Apr 7-13

It took me forever to get this done. I won't be drawing these guys again because it's too hard!

Also take a look at this raw scan, before I added the graytones. (very large size)

There's an RSS feed of my Flickr gallery of weekly strips here, if you are so inclined.

Reasons

Well, not much is happening for me lately--just moved into a new apartment, but I don't have enough of my stuff transported to get any comics or scanning or much of anything at all done. However, I mean to have Weekly Strip #11 for next Wednesday, March 12, and a post or two with scans of Chinese comics I brought back from my trip there in 2004; I have some neat stuff that I rediscovered during my packing. I may also get some stuff together to add to gluyaswilliams.com, but that's within the next few months, not particularly anytime soon.

Please keep reading!

More Reasons

AT&T has let my DSL service get interrupted, so my week vacation from weekly comics may go into two weeks...

Reasons!

You may have noticed that this site hasn't been here for a few days--i'm using a free webhost (Doteasy, which has always been really nice, service-wise; use me as your referrer!) and I exceeded my monthly traffic quota of 1gb. I chalked this up to lots of hits from Google Image Search, where somebody will download my whole site to see one thumbnail of boobies. So I uploaded a robots.txt file to try and stave off hits from there; if I did it right, soon none of the images from this site will show up in the image search. Bad or good, I don't know, we'll see.

NO COMIC STRIP THIS WEEK: I also took a vacation from my weekly strip with the site outage as my excuse. Back next Wednesday, Feb 6, for sure! I've been getting a pretty good response to them...if only they could earn me some money! Speaking of which:

I've been trying to FIND A JOB this week, so far not a lot of luck. I must be looking too far up on the foodchain or something. Ironically, a job involving 'food' and 'chain' may be in my immediate future. If you'd like to help, it would be appreciated, please get in touch! (gosh, that reads like I'm asking for donations or something--not at all...leads, leads!)

Thanks for reading. I think I'll do one more dry, texty post after this, and then get back to not posting anything. Alienated yet??

New Weekly Strip

For the week of Jan 14-20

UPDATE: I've gotten a lot of nice feedback on this one from here and there; thanks a lot for looking, everyone!

I also made a banner that links to the Flickr set of these strips. It's there on the right, or if by some chance you're looking at the RSS, here it is:

Or if you don't like Flickr, you can click the weekly strip label to see them here or if you don't want to do that either, they're all on reliablecomics.com. EASY

Supertrash: Venus In Furs Poster Redo


I did this for the Supertrash Film Fest / Art Show that's upcoming on February 1-3 in Portland, Ore. I'm not sure if they automatically accept whatever's sent in or if it's juried somehow, but we'll see. Pals Tom Neely, Chris Cilla, Alex Holden and Jim Rugg have also done one, probably others I don't know about.

Anyway, I did Venus in Furs, a terrible movie from the late 60's about a horny jazz musician and a hot naked ghost(?) lady, and a hot jazz singer lady who never gets naked and three murderous jerks. Don't bother watching it.

This is also my excuse for not having a new weekly strip for today. Not the real reason, but it's good enough. I may have a strip for tomorrow. Sorry!

New (Weekly?) Strip

New Projects Dept: Make a weekly comic strip. This is the first one, for the week of November 26 thru December 2, 2007. We'll see if 12/3-12/9 materializes. I got no job, and I wrote three or four strips this morning, just need to draw them--I'd be a real slob if I didn't get a second one done at the very least. Wish me luck!
