Look what I got for Christmas!
A chocolat Eggman and Peckinpaw are trapped in these boxes…
They’re so cute, I couldn’t possible eat them!
Wow, what a difference a week makes!
Last week I was all excited about being in the top 250 and this week ICECUBES didn’t make it to the next round. Oh well, Peckinpaw, Nooky, Freeze and Eggman tried their very best that’s for sure. I just need to do better next time! It sure was great to get all your support. We’re going to make sure you continue to get great strips right here at ICECUBES.
In the meantime, thanks soooo much for your awesome support!

Hurray! We got this email

When I’m planning out my strips I try to draw the characters in different poses to see which ones work best. It’s a good idea to try things out before drawing the strip and to experiment. Often times I come up with unusual results and that goes into the strip. The funnier the better!
Be sure to take the poll! This coming week will be the last week. If you want a third comic on Fridays remember to support ‘ICECUBES’ by clicking on our sponsors!
It’s all in the gesture! That’s where you get the energy and ‘funny’ into your drawings. So I always spend time practicing each drawing on a sketch pad by drawing big circles and blobs for the heads and bodies of my characters. This helps me ‘anchor’ them into place and make them feel real. Be sure to always get a good under-drawing happening before committing to the final. No amount of style can make up for a poorly balanced drawing. ICECUBES
So get crazy and start making ‘gestural drawings’!
This is the new cover I did for ComixTalk.com. Go check out the site, lots of great stuff about webcomics. Big thanks to Xaviar Xerexes.
