The website was down all day yesterday because of a problem with the hosting company. I was on the road and unable to fix the problem until later last nite. Sorry for the delay and thanks for checking back in. Remember to click on the ads! Thanks!

I notice the site for your Ice Cubes webcomic. Do you think you can do other comic book work in the future like maybe Sonic the Hedgehog for IDW?

  Hi! Sure, I could do work for other comic books if they asked me. Who knows, it could happen! 🙂 Thanks for reading ICECUBES.

Good Morning Sir: I stumbled across your Leroy Brown/Jim Croce work and was impressed. Great Job. Can you do other animations? I wrote a book several years back that was taken from a record I really enjoyed listening to. I was wondering could you do similar work and what are your cost for a three minute session. Peace

  Oh wow, that’s really cool! Of course, I did not do the Jim Croce cartoon. That was done way back in 1973 by a man named John Wilson for the Sonny & Cher Show. To do a 3 min. animation like that today would probably cost thousands of dollars. If you would like to see a cartoon I did, go to this link: https://youtu.be/kv1S9MIhqzE?si=ybNZ9cyfQeaoVMab

ICECUBES live on TV-30! from Leroy Brown on Vimeo.

You know you’re in New Orleans when… Just spent a week there. It was fun and also a lot of work doing my day job 🙂 I love the print job on this wrapper. I so wish I could print my comics this way, they would look so cool!

How ICECUBES Gets Drawn.

Posted on January 28, 2010 by Leroy Brown

(click to make image larger) Here’s a quick look at how an ‘ICECUBES’ strip gets drawn. 1. Here the panel sizes have been determined and the loose ‘blocking’ sketches go in. Note that the drawings are very ‘gestural’ here, to get maximum movement and life into the drawings. 2. The text grid lines are drawn. Although I usually do this first, in this case I felt like putting the characters in place before the text because I had a good feel for what I wanted them to look like. Note: I had already done preliminary sketches before blocking out my characters. 3. The copy is written out and any spacing problems are worked out. The speech balloons are drawn and sometimes adjusted for a better read. Note: some details have been added to the drawings. For example Peckinpaw’s eyes in panel 3 have been moved up and his face is more round. 4. Now that I know where the text goes and the speech balloons fit I first do a preliminary erasing, then a redraw with bolder pencil lines. I use a 2B or 3B pencil to make the final pencil lines before I ink with a metal nib. I start my inking by doing the letters first. Note: before I ink I do another erase so that my pencil lines are very faint. Check out the published comic here!

Gear.

Most definitely low tech! One advantage: it stills works even when the power goes out. 🙂

Good company.

In this picture ICECUBES is definitely in good company! Although the comparison is clearly unfair… for them. 🙂 I just thought it was interesting to see how the first ICECUBES book was published compared to their first books. Lucky you, unlike those other hard to find books, ICECUBES the comic strip Vol. 1 is still available! So why don’t you get your very own copy of the first ICECUBES book? Available exclusively on the Amazon Kindle. Just go to Amazon.com and type ICECUBES, or simply click here. You can also download it to your iPhone and PC! Great news, the second book ICECUBES the comic strip Vol. 2 is coming out soon!

Dirty Job?

Posted on January 12, 2010 by Leroy Brown

It’s a messy job, but somebody’s got to do it! In this photo you can see some of the pitfalls of dealing with real ink and unruly metal nibs while trying desperately to meet deadline! Big splotches and smears, nothing like it to make you just want to run for the woods! Fortunately some easy Photoshoping was able to save the day… 🙂 Click here for the published comic.

ICECUBES the chocolates.

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! 🙂

ICECUBES the comic strip.

Posted on October 16, 2009 by Leroy Brown

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! 🙂 Leroy Brown
