09.29.2011 @ 10:55 am - Comic is back!
Forgot to mention this last week, but the comic is updating again after a one week break. I’ve suddenly had a bunch of paying work land in my lap, and I’ll continue PS as scheduled as best I can. I’ll give you fair warning if there will be any more temporary outages.
Thanks for your patience!

09.13.2011 @ 9:18 am - No comic this week.
My apologies, but I won’t be posting a new PS update this week. Between Labor Day, SPX and paying illustration gigs (yay!), there hasn’t been enough studio time to devote to it. Instead of rushing to post a late page, I’d rather use this week to catch up and get back on track.
PS will return to regular schedule again next week, Tuesday, September 22nd 20th!

08.04.2011 @ 10:07 am - How to Draw Comics Workshop
Next week I’ll be teaching a FREE public workshop on drawing comics at the Beverly Public Library!
Here are the details:
Teen Workshop: ‘How to Draw Comics’
Wednesday August 10, 2011
3:00 PM to 5:00 PM
Sohier Room
Beverly Public Library – Main Branch
32 Essex Street
Beverly, MA 01915
‘How to Draw Comics’ with Dirk I. Tiede
Taking a comic from an idea to a finished page is more than just drawing a few pictures on a page: you have to tell a story, too. Fortunately, following a few simple steps makes it easy. Beverly’s own local comic creator Dirk I. Tiede breaks down the creation of a comic from start to finish. This FREE workshop covers scripting, thumbnails, layout, character and background basics, inking, and digital touch-up using live and interactive demonstrations. All materials will be provided. For teens age 12-18. No registration needed.
Technically, this is for teens, but I figured I’d let y’all know about it.
