I was thinking this weekend that I never really explained why I chose the title ON THE VERGE for this graphic novel (which has now become MANY things). The closest I came was from my second blog post (boy that … Continue reading
On the Verge – Book 1 – Page 3
So this is the first week of posting later in the day. We’ll see how it goes… Today’s page is the last of the pro-prologue section that I’m hoping has set things up pretty well for everything that follows. Starting … Continue reading
On the Verge – Book 1 – Page 2

jump 7
So today we get a little bit closer to the end of the “jump” section… I would think at this point that you’re probably realizing that I spent a good deal of time figuring out the “design” of this section. … Continue reading
jump 6
Today’s spread is one of the initial ones that I sketched out when coming up with the story. I really like all the different elements going on here… So today I want to focus on writing. I’ve put this post … Continue reading
