The making of Entrepreneurz

I’m very excited to announce that work has begun on volume 2 of Entrepreneurz. That’s right! Clement and I are going to be working hard this year to bring you a whole new set of hilarious comics for your reading pleasure. So here’s a ‘making of’, written with our tongues lodged firmly in our cheeks.

Being the clever (not to mention good looking) Sunday inker that you are, you’ll have noticed that while Entrepreneurz is in French, today’s comic is in English. You may find it interesting to ponder, but a literal translation of the text in the comic might not convey the intended irony in French. It has created a bit of a problem for us! So if you keep an eye on the Entrepreneurz facebook page, you’ll soon see a French version of the comic that may or may not tell the same tale of tortured genius and passionate desk-stabbing. Bonus points for bilingual Sunday inkers!

And while we’re at it, a reminder for friends around the world that Entrepreneurz Volume 1 is on sale now, and all international orders placed through the facebook page will be autographed for free!

More news as it comes to hand. Pip pip!

Art & Marcel in Moscow

Art Giraffe and Marcel Duchamp (that modernist mole) are enjoying a day in Red Square, Moscow. Fun times! And special thanks to Sunday inker Dieter, who suggested the location.

I hope everyone has a splendid 2012, full of adventures and cups of tea! Thanks for supporting Sunday ink, and let me tell you, there will some pretty exciting projects to share with you this year. I predict a 98% chance of good clean fun, with a 3% prospect of excessive pantaloons. That’s right- Sunday ink offers you mild amusement and dodgy mathematics, 42% guaranteed!

Pip pip!

Midnight Snack

It’s zombie poem day! Rar, brains. Actually, this little piece is the result of a zombie-themed poetry contest hosted by the talented Faith Erin Hicks. Her wonderful comic, Friends With Boys, is currently updating daily before its print release in early 2012. Check it out!

After composing my poem I decided it really needed some Sunday inky art to go with it. What fun! By the way, do you recognise the zombie chef? I was kind of going for Iron Chef French, Hiroyuki Sakai. Hmmm. Well, no mustache, but at least he’s holding a pear!

Pip pip and happy new year!

Update: Thanks to Faith for making me a winner! And congratulations to the other lovely poets, too! You can check out the post and their entries here!

Art Giraffe- At Pisa

Well, our old friend Art Giraffe is certainly enjoying his European tour! I wonder where else his travels will take him?

Pip pip!

Cycling by the Seine

It’s our old friend Art Giraffe! You may also notice his new meerkat pal. She is based on my constantly inspiring and energetic art buddy, Jennifer. Hi Jen!

After the work I did on The Mysterious Owl these past couple of weeks, I wanted to see if I could bring that level of subtlety to my paintings of Art. I think the tones are a little richer than the earlier pictures, while hopefully maintaining that original simplicity.

And a question for my lovely Sunday inkers! If you were a cartoon animal, what animal would you be?
