No Time To Chat..There Is Art A foot!

A lot of things going on. Plans, Product, inks, colors, paints, Comics! I wish I could keep up with posts and updates, but time is a relentless beast I have not yet tamed. My buddy Norm Wong is currently coloring the last 10 pages of a new comic project called Fowl. It’s a Native American Werefowl story of redemption. More about that later.
I’m currently inking pages for another comics that seems to have been on the blocks for a while called SHE That Kills The Dead. Issue 1 is a few pages away from being completely inked! Then the color process begins! It may be a while out though. My plan is to have a the very least two issues complete before it is released. Just so there is a cushion to maintain current and release on deadline.
Working on some album art for my friends The Radioactive Chicken Heads also. That band is so damn fun!
Inking pages for my upcoming art book called MY Emo Vortex.
I know there is a lot of things I’m working on and yet have produced very little. I am very aware of this believe me.
It really is a matter of making enough cash to give it the best quality I can. This has led to a lot of side jobs and juggling, but all well worth it in my eyes. I doubt anyone is as enthusiastic as me to show you guys the things I have been working on while the city has been sleeping, but I have to hold back a little longer. I hope this works….

Meanwhile here are some art card distractions that have kept me company!

An ode to bad breath

I swear I meant nothing dirty by this, but who knows?

The Hungry Ugly Eater

There are many things to show and tell. This is one. It’s a page from my upcoming art book called My Emo Vortex. Norman Wong turned in these insane colors this weekend. I’ve been staring at it since, so I wanted to post it. This is an an example of the talent I am lucky enough to work with. There are more pages to show, but I am locking them away for now.

Norm did a killer Job Coloring this!

I can’t explain in text how happy I am to have Norman Wong putting some of my work into color!
The drawing is a page from my upcoming art book My Emo Vortex.
This drawing depicts my self loathing while I hit another bar trying to forget myself. Existence (although awesome) can sometimes be a drag. The missing limbs are due to my lack of self control or something.

Processing In An Emo Vortex

Today’s post is to show the process to the art book I am putting together called My Emo Vortex All the drawings in this series are from a hardcover sketch book I carried around for a month and some change documenting my thoughts, observations and emotions. All I used to draw with was a ball point pen. It is a cheap and versatile tool I could afford to lose during my constant traveling. Once the book was complete I photo copied and expanded the image. Then with my light table I redrew the image in pencil and cleaned it up with ink. A long time ago I came across a old box of repro film. It’s a transparent film graphic designers use in the old days to create half tones and background patterns. I decided to include those patterns for many of the pages I am redrawing. When all this is through I send the image to my favorite colorists Allen Passalaqua and Norman Wong to conjure some eye magic. I’m so honored to be working with these guys.
Here is the process visually:

My Emo Vortex Art Book Volume 1

I have a lot to say about this My Emo Vortex project, so for now I won’t say much other that this is the cover to the first volume that will be 25 pages in a comic book format. There will be two volumes in this format. After volumes one and two I will create a hardcover reprinting volumes one and two with a third series of art included. Right now my amazingly talented friends Allen Passalaqua and Norman Wong are helping me out with the colors. Here is the cover to volume one. Allen did the color work.

Permo Gets A Bloody Nose Using ESP!

Elliptical Danger!

Thanks for looking at more Permo entries. I have been fleshing out a lot of ideas lately. It’s pretty exciting…and exhausting. Been writing a little bit more. Some friends I have seem to enjoy the stories I write, so I need to find time to make those happen. Been inking pages for MY Emo Vortex art book. Trying to raise colorist money by doing sketch covers. I’m on this Grey Alien sketch cover kick that a few people seem to like, so I’m eeking those out as well. Things are a busy! My buddy Rob is almost finished with film school. We have a few things planned for that also. I’ll save writing about that later. Meanwhile here are some more Permo bloopers…

Emo Vortex Complete! Time for the next plan!

Whew! I’ve been waiting to finish this sketch book. I even thought about just leaving the last 3 pages blank and calling it done.  I’m glad I decided to push forward until it was COMPLETELY FULL. What will you do with your stupid life now man (*sarcastic grown up voice)? The answer to that this refine this mu fugger! It seemed to make the few people outside the internet world laugh and smile when I showed it to them, so I think I want to re draw and publish this book in full color. If your not sure what I mean I suppose I’ll just have to show you what I’m talk’n bout soon.

Until then here are some of the last sketches…

 

The transcribed version:

I remember the beginning.  Some people even tried to write a book about it. They said that in the beginning there was “Darkness” You heard me correct…Darkness.

I’ve seen it and let me tell you…the only reason there was darkness was because no one had the guts to open their eyes. The light was always there for all to see. If you ask me, all the darkness talk wasn’t about darkness at all. It was about fear.

The fear to see the truth. Once you open your eyes to the truth it changes you. It compels you to change everything around you…or destroy it.

Next project: Detective Comics…comics

My Emo Vortex pages 56-59

Here is the most recent drawings my brain decided to vomit.

 

Page 56 is a random She sketch. Playing around with curves and motion.

 

Page 57 I call “If I Live Long Enough” I imagine this is how I would look.

 

Page 58 “Today’s Mental Struggle” It’s a daily thing.

Page 59 is a random sloppy Mechanic sketch from the SHE That Kills The Dead story.

My Emo Vortex Page 50 and 51

I titled this: The Uncomfortable Tree Stump.

 

I call this page “Party Dog Puppet” Imagine if there was a puppet to blame all your party accidents on. Ok, image that but the puppet is a dog. Everyone loves a dog! Even random shits in the house are sometimes cute. However, if said puppet was used too much some stitching may come undone…..or so I would imagine.

My Emo Vortex Page 48 and 49

This is page 48 from my current sketch book titled “My Emo Vortex”  Though about Mexican Gang activity in the future and how fashion (especially head wear) would be different….kinda.

Page 49 I call Kid Cyborg. It’s a sketch of a future story I’m scribbling around about genetic modified people from birth and the residual byproduct. It’s a awkward teen thing.
