New FREE digital comics!!!

I've been searching for a magazine template to display digital comics for a while... but alas, no luck. I decided to just use blogger instead because it's been great for FAT fridaze. (Click on the COMICS tab at the top of the page for links)

Tales from Fashion City is a series that has been slowly in development since my Junior year in High School. It started off with a few cheesy notebook paper comics but the characters kept my interest. It's something I'd like to print but is still in development. "Bunny Boy" (hopefully reprinting in June) is from the same Universe and introduces the main trio.

"Retail Hell" a 5 page mini comic (pictured below) is a story about one of the main characters FASHION GIRL. Originally created for a friends digital magazine in 2011.

Best viewed on a computer, simply click the first page to scroll through them.

Also available is ENVIRA (Series 1 & 2) Originally posted on my friend Monica Schrock's blog Low Impact Betty

Things are still under construction but I just wanted more of my stuff posted for people to read.

Thanks!

100th Strip Retrospective Art Show

In honor of the fast approaching 100th FAT Fridaze comic strip, I will be showing a "behind the scenes/making of" as well as displaying all 100 comic strips (5 of which will not be posted online yet) at an upcoming 2 day music & art event in The Arts District. I would be thrilled if anyone came and checked it out. It has been a labor of love and will be nice to display some early sketches etc. I will also be displaying some never before posted photos of my cat (who is one of the characters in the strip) and just life in LA etc.

Mismatched Miscreants 10 Year Anniversary

New Cast Photo "D.Iley 2012/2013"

2013 marks the 10 Year Anniversary of "The Mismatched Miscreants". A comic series I started with good friend and Co-Creator/Writer Alex Blain back in High School. This is also the first time in ten years I have ever posted anything online about them.

So far we have about 16 issues (12 or more are fully completed with several more planned) All hand drawn and colored by yours truly (colored pencil/Sharpie)

This is the series that taught me how to write, develop characters and get comfortable designing and fleshing out stories. These characters (along with a cast of about 40 others) were the ones that finally stuck with me and kept me interested enough to keep working on them.

I had never really planned to publish them but after all the work that has been done I would love to get them out there. It might be some of my best writing to date, but also some of the most explicit and offensive stuff I've ever done. I feel like it could really find it's home in media today. (also... would love to animate it into a series some day...) but first things first... printing.

So... if you want to donate vast sums of money... I will print print away ;) I kid... but I am really excited to get them out there in the not so distant future.

More details soon...
