<br />
Hey,<br />
<br />
So for my facebook friends, twitter followers, and blog subscribers, I thought I would put in a tiny little note about a new webcomic created by Frank Darden and myself.<br />
<br />
Well that's not exactly the truth. It was Frank who created <i>When Claws Were Cool</i>. It was Frank who created the super-flawed characters. It was Frank who, through the years, developed this original type of humour that, in my opinion, hums around the edges of super-hero satire, parody, physical slapstick, sarcasm, and toilet-gags while circumventing quiet little moments of despair.<br />
<br />
I was lucky enough to be invited onto the project by Frank. And in the past six months I've taken his words and concepts and visualized this webcomic to the best of my ability. It's crazy, because we are now just releasing the first pages that we created six months ago. We have six months worth of content ready to upload, every thursday. We also have a few years of written content. So rest assured, WCWC will be around for awhile, evolving, developing, and escalating into the nether regions of ridiculousness.<br />
<br />
Now I'm going to stop talking about the webcomic cause I know Frank will have some way better things to say.<br />
<br />
I just wanted to thank some people. My Ma, Pop and annoying little sister, as well as my extended family. Christine Daves, at the MCAD career center, for connecting me with Frank. Barb Schulz, Tom K, Zak Sally and Jim Keefe, my comic instructors at MCAD. Erik Brandt and Kindra Murphy, for teaching me about typography and design. Hedwig, Bart, Caitlin, Amaya, Peter and Alex for being right there with me. John K Louis, for being the one random awesome dude to automatically start believing in me. Andrew Herbst for many things, many future things, and for help inking the comic. Random web contributors who don't know I exist: Chris Coyier for the blank wordpress theme, Alex Moss for the facebook comment section, Ariel Flesler for inspiring some site elements. Top Shelf Attic for the web design inspiration. Wizards who helped me directly: Phi Le, Jon Jensen and Bob Algeo(who also indirectly inspired the web design), for answering, illuminating and enduring all my emails about site debugging, javascript and php.<br />
<br />
CarrieAnn. Ki Bae. Ryu. Thank you all for the inspiration and your patience.<br />
<br />
And Frank.<br />
<br />
Oh yeah. <a href="http://whenclawswerecool.com/">Check out the webcomic here!</a> Oh and tomorrow we start updating, and tweeting, and inviting.<br />
<br />
best,<br />

<br />
<br />
So I will be at the Minnesota Comic Book Association Spring Con super comic event this weekend. And I've been planning.<br />
<br />
I will have Grotto Part One and Grotto Part Two, written by Andrew Herbst with covers by Hedwig Vinson for sale.<br />
<br />
I will also have Raptors Print Edition 2, written by Jeremy M. Zoss, with cover by Caitlin Skalruud, including illustrations from Bart King and Amaya Goldsmith. Raptors edition 2 is pretty similar to edition 1, except it's on better paper, printed on a better printer, and the lettering is improved.<br />
<br />
Also, I will have a limited edition of screen prints available, the popular bison head (which you can view at the top of the website) will be for sale for $10. Black ink on a thick card stock, 12x18 inches, printed by Twin Cities very own <a href="http://www.anthemheart.com/">Anthem Heart</a>. I will only have 50 of these and once these sale I will have no second printing! So if you miss out you miss out. <br />
<br />
Fortunately, for the unsure, I will have eleven smaller comp cards in which, if you stop by my table, you can pick out one of your choosing that you can put on your fridge or fix that wobbly table with. I will be basing the release of my next limited edition screen print on the popularity of these comp cards. So please, stop by and say hi and take one with you!<br />
<br />
Also, I'm unofficially launching a weekly webcomic tomorrow. But you have to come to Springcon to get the flier and url to view this awesome full color webcomic before it's official launch on this following thursday!<br />
<br />
Okay, I waited way to long to post this promotional blog update, but anyways, come by my table tomorrow and say hi!<br />
<br />

It's been a really long time since I've had a blog post. Probably two or three months or something.

A new webcomic will most likely be launched by then as well. It is written by Frank Darden and involves some cartoony hilarity. We've been working on an initial set of pages since december and let me tell you, it's been a pleasure to draw these pages. Grotto Part 1 and 2 will also be for sell and I should have some new prints as well.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

It's been awhile. I had to take a little break, to, uh, work full-time and support my family while we had another little boy. But now we're getting back to our old routine, and I'm going to be producing some new work in the next couple of months. Think comics and websites. Might start a Tumblr. Might enter some sketch jams. We'll see. But for the past few months I've been working on these sketches, just for the hell of it. Alot of these illustrations have no point. I was taking a breather. So I hope you enjoy some of these. They were fun. Good times. Okay.<br />

The opening concept was far more fantastical, and included mammaries, but halfway though I changed my mind and accepted my spider would be anatomically incorrect.

<br />
So I won the megaman sketch challenge last week and one of the privileges upon winning is that I got to chose the next sketch challenge. my drawing was also moved to the tumblr hall of fame galley (where all sketch challenge images are posted), which you can view <a href="http://tenton.tumblr.com/">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I chose Samurai Jack for the sketch challenge. You can see everyones posts <a href="http://www.tentonstudios.com/forum/index.php?topic=8726.0">here</a>.<br />
<br />
And here are the images. First, the unmodified version scanned in rgb. I got it right this time...<br />

<br />
Megaman sketch challenge via Ten Ton Studios. Ten Ton Studios has an awesome forum where professional and aspiring comic artists can post their work and receive legitimate and valid critiques from other artists.<br />

As per the sketch challenge rules, my "unmodified" megaman image (i had to take two scans and splice them together, so there was <i>some</i> photoshop use).<br />

<br />
So Dark Horse announced that there would be a hellboy cover contest last wednesday. The contest was to recreate a Hellboy cover in the wake of Mignola and Fregredo's ending run of this awesome hellboy saga that has been going since I moved to Minneapolis. The link to the announcement is <a href="http://www.darkhorse.com/Blog/484/recreate-hellboy-cover-contest">here</a> if you want to take a look, but lately the server has been crashing (maybe due to too many hellboy enthusiasts?).<br />
<br />
Mike Mignola's Hellboy (and all mignolaverse titles) hold a special place in my heart. In fifth and sixth grade I really wanted to be a comic book artist. I created my own little universe that was essentially a rip off of marvel. I don't know what happened- I lost interest for awhile, and became obsessed with girls, drugs, being gothic, trying to be an actor/director, trying to be a fine artist/ muralist/ tattoo artist/ drunkard. Hellboy got me back into comics. In his work I saw this different approach to comic art and storytelling and I was riveted to the sequential form for good this time. It's been seven years or so making my own comics, starting to attend conventions and recently graduating from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design with a comic art degree.<br />
<br />
The past couple months I've worked to secure a graphic design internship. Just like Mignola inspired me to be a cartoonist, MCAD inspired me to tackled graphic design. I've made some good contacts in my search for a graphic design position, but over the last week I've received emails complimenting me on my work but telling me they are looking for someone with a different skill set. Three emails back, not one interview, and then this hellboy cover contest beckoned to me. Is the comic deity giving me a slap in the face? I don't know. I still love design, web and typography. But I had a hell of a good time re-drawing mignola's hellboy cover.<br />
<br />
Here is the cover I chose to recreate from Hellboy The Wild Hunt #4:<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Also, I did this hellboy image when Hellboy 2 the Golden Army came out. They had a competition for hellboy art and the winner would get to go to the LA premiere and meet Mignola and Guillermo del Toro. I didn't win. I didn't hear who did, actually. But, you know, I scanned it and touched it up in photoshop and I do still like it.

Okay, so there's going to be tons of crap in this post. One is because I think some of this stuff was worth my time to do and share because it just hasn't been seen yet. Some of it is from school, some of it was for a gig that fell through, some of it was for a website that didn't exactly turn out as planned, and then the last image was something for me. Something I wanted to see, and I think it's kinda cool, like spaceman Sol cool.<br />
<br />
First is a design poster i did in typography for Erik Brandt my last semester at MCAD. Brandt is all over the place, acclaimed both locally and internationally. He was a great teacher and I'm sorry that I missed his show that came out a couple weeks ago. This guy makes graphic design look really really cool. Anyways, I was directly inspired by one of his well regarded recent works he designed in response to the tragedy in Japan. I'm going to include it in this post because it's one of the coolest things I've seen all year and I have a copy hanging in my kid's room.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin1gKk6OJa0hJ_IV2bqnX7xxvc_SIYCoQUFZr5R7P6Ail4V5jzq5qgTrWcGz4CUuqghcY8E9fyzxijD5netKTQJgMuA9gs0SBP9v1eijskl7U61UwydSwKKPdI7quYnlDQoWUCtQDmLozC/s1600/eb_nippon_eng_final_2011_web_cropped.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin1gKk6OJa0hJ_IV2bqnX7xxvc_SIYCoQUFZr5R7P6Ail4V5jzq5qgTrWcGz4CUuqghcY8E9fyzxijD5netKTQJgMuA9gs0SBP9v1eijskl7U61UwydSwKKPdI7quYnlDQoWUCtQDmLozC/s200/eb_nippon_eng_final_2011_web_cropped.jpg" width="145" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Pretty friggin' awesome right? I can go off about grids and colors and composition but I don't have to because his design sensibility is so transparent and elegant. Nothing but wonderful things at Brandt's websites: <a href="http://typografika.com/">typografika.com</a> and <a href="http://geotypografika.com/">geotypografika.com</a>. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So I was inspired by this guy and did the following piece. It's a poster representing the variety and validity of mcad's design program by listing the names of the guest speakers we've had at mcad. Below is my version and some details(i had to serious shrink the original version's file size). See if you notice Brandt's influence. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtXHm8gvMBU4ujnwJTKZbGVq8F5xKcUbx3YX6_2D0LtmXTZvF8K-4sYOB9C8wmIpvOxjwq817Z5ypz2tXtIdNY-R3xHr74lCDfwNW-n82r4F2Teo5UDz_d4Mm8Qfxc2vfT-nboMulsvW7l/s1600/autting_poster.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtXHm8gvMBU4ujnwJTKZbGVq8F5xKcUbx3YX6_2D0LtmXTZvF8K-4sYOB9C8wmIpvOxjwq817Z5ypz2tXtIdNY-R3xHr74lCDfwNW-n82r4F2Teo5UDz_d4Mm8Qfxc2vfT-nboMulsvW7l/s640/autting_poster.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div>I kinda let the piece design itself with this one. I laid out a grid and started adding names and eventually each guest speaker became a little totem that stood on it's own but also helped define the composition. I like this. I wish there had been more guest speakers so I could've filled the entire poster. This is the one piece that I submitted for the adobe design rewards so we'll see.<br />
<br />
This next piece is kinda all over the place. This was an assignment for my web and screen class. I attempted to animate a sprite using actionscript in flash but I wasn't able to completely succeed here. For one, this is an area of actionscript in which my instructor was not specialized as it was not a game design class. For two, my access to adobe flash has now ended. It is a cool program, and there were things that I still wanted to do with it, but well, whatever. Below are the fifteen or so animation cells I designed to make this "Oslox" walk cycle:<br />

You can click through the walk cycle <a href="http://ashbyutting.com/osloxWalk/oslox1.html">here</a> or you can sort of kind of move him around with your arrow keys(just make sure you click on the program first) <a href="http://ashbyutting.com/walk/moonwalk.html">here</a>. I know, kinda lame, right? I really wanted to try to make a roleplaying game but I just don't know crap about C++. I would need like two more years of school just in scripting languages and I just don't have the time. At about this time in a designer's life, you realize that time is really limited, <i>and, </i>what are the most important projects to spend your life doing. The storyline would've been cool. It involved a dystopian society and an omnipotent evil cannibalistic religious world order (totally Andrew Herbst's idea). This character would have eventually pulled a giant lighting rod out of his power pack and whipped electricity at people. SO SWEET! Hopefully I'll have enough money to produce games, but I don't know about making them...<br />
<br />
Uhhh, let's see. Here is some stuff I did for that freelance gig that fell through. I figure I can post some of the images as long as I don't talk about the project that I didn't do... So yeah, this will just fill some space:<br />

Anyways, I also worked on this website for my friend Michael Mauschbaugh, of whom I've known for more than a few years. He's opening up a restaurant in San Francisco- the Sous Beurre Kitchen. Small in scale but large in concept. I designed bunches of stuff for this website using cool plug ins and funny buttons and stuff. Eventually we realized there was an updating issue that proved inconvenient, so Michael kinda went off what I originally designed and constructed a site a little more personal to him and his needs to update it every day. You can see my version <a href="http://ashbyutting.com/sousbeurrekitchen">here</a> and Michael's final version <a href="http://sousbeurrekitchen.com/">here</a>. If you live in the bay area you should definitely stop by and eat dinner, or have a beer and some of Michael's delicious self-made charcuterie. This guy has cooked me dinner on a number of occasions and it is consistantly delicious. I believe he will be sending my a jar of pickles pretty soon. Really really exciting!<br />
<br />
I guess the last thing is this illustration I did just for the hell of it. I started it on sunday (when I shoulda been at the co-op drawing naked people), and finished it monday night. I'm pleased with being able to bust ok work out without having to spend weeks on it like I did before I went to school. Also, I'm finally able to use these amazing books I bought and the Museum of Natural History in NYC: <i>Animal Life</i> published by Dorling Kindersley (a feast of amazing animal photographs) and the E<i>ncyclopedia of Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Life</i>(packed full of realistic illustrations)<i> </i>also published by Dorling Kindersley. <br />
<br />
What resulted after studying these references is an evolutionary inspired anthropomorphism. I drew a scythe lizard, a bird of paradise, and anthropomorphized a bird dude out of a Ruff and a Confuscius bird.<br />

Stuff and more stuff. I have ten more illustrations designed and ready to be penciled and inked, but I've hit a roadblock in my process due to my access to MCAD's facilities as a lowly alumni. I waltzed in there thinking I was going to print a pile of bluelines and then-ACCESS DENIED. I'm sneaky though.<br />

<br />
Yeah, I haven't posted in awhile, partly due to lack of new material, partly due to graduation and side projects, partly due to not caring. I'm going to spare you one of those "I'M BACK!" messages, cause I've been here, playing chrono trigger. <br />
<br />
Springcon was pretty fun and amazing. I sold a bunch of books and was almost taken seriously. The best part was hanging with Andrew Herbst, Caitlin Skaalrud, Alex Fukui and seeing Jim Keefe, Zak Sally, Tom K,. Barb Schulz and Rob Algeo. I got to catch up with the same table neighbors from Fallcon, Mark Lone, his hilarious lady pal Kate, as well as Jack Phinney and his crew. Out of my four hot dogs there was only one bad hot dog. The MCBA is a gracious and welcoming organization and I can't wait to go back there for Fallcon.<br />
<br />
I also drew fun stuff. The characters from Grotto transformed by sci fi and monster mania whimsy:<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I wish I had some amazing story about the freelance gig that I was hired for, but the truth is, it fell through. I want to post some of the work I did for that project but I'm afraid of getting sued. I signed a non-disclosure agreement. It was all very hush hush. Anyways, it was very confusing and frustrating and I was trying to do a little too much at one time. All I can say is, don't promise a client a style that they are envisioning in their head that you haven't produced yet on you're own. Oh, and just because you're given a job it doesn't mean it can't be stripped away if you produce "maybe-better-than-average" work. A part of me feels like I failed the entire graduating class of MCAD 2011(especially my fellow graduating cartoonists) with this failure, but Jim Keefe reminded me that this stuff just happens sometimes. So, at least my portfolio site and tenacity got me the notice of a prominent branding company in the first place.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So, now I get to finish up a project that should've been done six months ago. My collaborator probably thinks I shelved it, and I don't blame him. It's going to be awesome when I show him how many pages I have done though.
