From the Vault: The Space Between Us

**I am away this week in Alaska. So this post was pre-typed and auto-posted for me **
The Space Between Us:
Many years ago, my friend Mike Davis was living out of state when he and I talked about making comics. Mike felt that he struggled with comics, especially when it came to drawing panels. He was confident with sketches or single illustrations, but not comics. So I proposed to him that he fill several pages of a sketchbook with doodles of the same characters, to also include locations, scribbles, anything from his sketchbook he liked. He would then mail me that book. I scanned all the various sketches and pages. In photoshop I cut and pasted and layered them into a digital collage until I worked up what I thought was a working story. Here for you are the results of that interesting collaboration.




Fan Art:Matthew Netzley sent me this artwork of his Mouse Guard Role Playing Character. Matthew also sent me the link to his gallery

  2. Bo,
    I wasn't aware they had more than one location. Is there a 'main' location? I'll know more as we get closer I suspect.

  6. Nate: thanks! We had also thought about passing the same material on to another person to see what comic they would make (without being influenced by mine)

    Anonymous: I have not decided if it will be included in a collection or not. I want to fit it in if I can, but I don't know if it will be in Black Axe or a later collection
