Been a while

WELCOME TO IKILLCOMICS.COM!

Sorry it's been so long since I've last updated.
Working a lot on this new site and a few new strips. My goal now is to start posting strips on a regular basis. I am sitting on a handful of strips that are close to being done (I have this bad habit of working on more than one page at a time).
The following strip is one of the aforementioned "butt strips", and came to me when a co-worker referred to me as "Big Sexy". Needless to say, blood boiled, anger grew, and hand went a-drawin'.

Enjoy!


More to come this week!

"Ideas." (A.k.a. Visions of Cubans and Beatniks dancing in my Head)

Another "new" Strip.
I began work on "Ideas." this past summer, and completed a lion's share of it. Of course, like so many other strips, I lost interest and let it collect dust in my file cabinet.
Well no more!
Over the weekend I finished it up (Background inks, Book excerpts, cropping) and now it's up for your viewing pleasure.

Big ups to Samater for helping out (a lot) with the Grey-tones, that guy is good

"Holy Crap Fahad!" "Two Strips in one Week?!"
I know, Right?

HELLO JIMMY!

Brand New Strip!
Well relatively "brand new", I actually started parts of this strip months ago and finished the rest last night.
But, as a whole, it's new and it's online! Yay!

(This is the strip I was talking about a few posts ago.)

Enjoy (A rant about the meaning behind the strip coming soon.)

What to do when you are sick and home alone...

As it so happens, yesterday and the day before I was DEATHLY sick (I don't know what with, there are whispers that there is a stomach virus floating around so we will just chalk it up to that.) and instead of staying in bed, and eating soup, I found it therapeutic to draw, and watch season one of Flight of the Concords.





Albeit, I DID end up staying in bed for HOURS, and ate my fair share of crappy, bland soup.

Though I think the page is pretty straight forward as is, here's a description:
-We start out with a pic of me, about to throw up (which I was actually spared from doing)
-the second pic (and accompanying text) is a bit more abstract. I've had the idea of a strip lampooning indie/scene/hipster culture for a long while (ever since living in Pittsburgh) BUT I don't know what it would be called or what format it would take. What I DO know is that all the characters would be Muppets (there isn't anything particularly deep there, I just like drawing fuzzy monsters.)
-the small logo on the bottom left hand corner is an I Kill Comics logo I've been bouncing around my head.
-And Finally, CHOWDER. Oh how I adore that show. (If you don't know who Chowder is, I suggest that you do a little research.)

well that's about it, I'm late for work I better go!

Idle Hands are the Devil's Playground

It seems that I have A LOT of work to do, work that will keep me very busy for the foreseeable future.
"Why?", you ask.
Well, as of about 5p.m. today, my Moleskin Pocket Notebook that I carry around with me at all time, is full.
Full of comics strips.

Not finished ones mind you.

An intellectually cathartic collection of notes, doodles, and full scripts for about fifteen to thirty comic strips. Scripts that are not only begging to be made into real boys, but ones that are still funny to me!

That alone is a feat worth writing about.
(Quick background info: the moment I put an idea to paper, I no longer find any use for it. If it was funny, its isn't anymore. If it was striking, it's now bland. If it's - well you get the point.)
But, for some odd reason, these scripts are still hilarious!

(well, to me anyway)
Which leads me to this status update: or "How I spent/am spending my Weekend: A visual Essay by Fahad."





This is the new Strip I'm working on, I won't tell you the "story" because it's a four panel strip and any description will ruin the punchline.



Let's just say:
Next Time on "I Kill Comics" Fahad and Sam meet a VERY SPECIAL Friend... Guest Starring ________!

sounds fun, right?







and now I leave you with a sketch of my Dad:


(yeah...I really didn't know how to wrap up this post.)

Two new strips!

It seems that my computer and I are finally getting along...
After a hard fought battle, he (she?) and I have finally come to terms and he (she??) has decided to run Photoshop without any major side effects.


In other words: NEW I KILL COMICS!

This first strip is really about me working through some demons, and my anxieties from moving to DC and leaving everyone...but if anyone asks, it's about Male Nipples...




This second one is just about chapped lips, there isn't any other deeper meaning than that...at least I don't think there is...





MORE SOON

Nerdgasm!

So over the weekend I watched the new James Bond flick: Quantum of Solace and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Lo, this is NOT a movie review blog by any means, so moving on to the importanat note: Before the movie, I bore witness to what was perhaps the greatest sight in recent memory:
BEHOLD AND REJOICE!


No longer will we have to live under the tyranny of Skywalkers and Wookies!






I am Starfleet Intelligence.
(Rant Over.)
