Jason and I (pictured here at Wondercon) have been working on the Martian Confederacy for over a year now… I had various art projects (Jane’s World) that slowed down the art production process. I take full responsibility for the slow down… BUT I wanted to start posting some of the original scanned art on our blog. I don’t want to give away spoilers for the book so certain pages I can’t show… also, the final book will be in color (Brian Miller is currently working on that). So this book is really a team effort. It’s been a real change for me working with a writer, but it’s been a terrific experience and I can’t wait to start on The Martian Confederacy Vol. 2!
Enjoy these first art postings… more to come…
First up… opening sequences of the book.
Spinner runs into some trouble on page 67…
And on page 70 Boone straps on some extra equipment for a new kind of voyage…

Much thanks to all the WonderCon attendees that made it so much fun to appear. I handed out postcards and talked up a Martian Confederacy storm. Our preview pages were worn out by the Sunday afternoon. JK Parkin from Newsarama stopped and we had a fun discussion about…well just about everything. He was also nice enough to plug Martian Confederacy on the Newsarama blog. Check it out.

I mentioned in my previous post about The Martian Confederacy that there was a third member of the “confederacy.” Well, she’s Lou… the hot, sassy, tri-sexual android who will be gracing the cover.

Toxic air. Bloodthirsty politicians. Drinking bears. Welcome to Mars in the year 3535. Stripped of its natural resources and forgotten as a vacation destination, Martians struggle to afford breathable air. Boone, Spinner and Lou were three outlaws looking out for themselves. But when a cure for Mars’s toxic air falls into the wrong hands, thieves are forced to become heroes. And as an entire planet gasps for air three rednecks will fight for the survival of their planet.
Boone and Spinner (art of Lou to follow… you’re gonna love her.)
Yeah, babeee… My pal Jason McNamara and I are co-creating a book due to release in Diamond’s July Previews. Jason has written a hilarious script, which I’m illustrating.
Stay tuned for more art and story details… rednecks on the red planet… here they come.
