Alistair & The Outline of World History

The Comic

I haven't posted any new work in a while because I'm currently pursuing a childhood dream...creating a comic novel. It took 31 years, but I've finally gotten around to planning out 160 pages of story arc (with a larger story arc extending over 3 other books). I'll finish the first 60 pages by January (inked, colored, lettered) and begin submitting it to publishers. If that doesn't work out, I'll attempt self-publishing. Either way, this is fun and VERY different than painting. Here are two images from the comic...one colored, one in B/W. Expect more updates over the next few months.

Systematic Theology Postcard

Last month I was asked to design a postcard for a Systematic Theology Study happening next year here in Austin. My dilemma was "how do you design THEOLOGY?" I began leafing through my photography and ran across a few photos I took in Israel back in 2009. The one I ultimately chose is a sundrenched shot of the Dead Sea and some of the isolated land around it. The typeface is Museo (no matter how much I see it used, it is still amazing) and the secondary image is a graphic from an old, 30lb Bible I keep in the studio.

I'll post the back of the card once I'm finished with it.

Here is the book featured in the study...quite the tome:

Japanese Frog and Pistachio Pudding inked

Cephalopod with Color!

Cephalopod Inked!

...ready to be colored.

"The Curse of Earl Grey" Finished

Inking "The Curse of Earl Grey"

New Pen, Old Gouache

I cracked open an 8 year old gouache set I purchased at a Chung-du art store and found my favorite pen from Miller Blueprint downtown. Here is a fraction of what ensued.

Spring Break = Comix

10ft worth of on-going comic side project. I've always wanted to try some long-form comics, now I'm finally getting around to it. Once lettering/coloring is complete, I will post the first few "chapters" on the new QuartermanStudio site (still working on that).

Musical Blog Chairs!

With a current re-design of my fine arts and applied arts sites, I have decided to change my fine art blog to ChaseQuarterman.blogspot.com. QuartermanStudio will become my illustration & design blog. If you have questions, send me an email.

Take care,

CQ
