Me, Max & World War Z!

Hello,

Way back in mid February of this year I got to meet Max Brookes. The author of The Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z. If you're a zombie fan and have NOT read these books, Shame on you! They are without a doubt two of the greatest books ever written on the subject of the undead. The Zombie Survival Guide published in 2003, is a fictional survival manual that deals with the potentiality of an undead attack. Brooks lays out detailed plans for the average citizen to survive zombie uprisings of varying intensity. World War Z charts the war against the undead from global pandemic to mass panic, and then to the eventual armed struggle to reclaim the planet. Rather than a grand overview or a single perspective, it is instead a collection of individual accounts, each revealing an aspect of the larger plot and simultaneously presenting a very personal tale. These different accounts take the form of interviews.
The book is being adapted into a film by Brad Pitts company. I told Max that he was one of the people who inspired me to create My Living Dead Girl and gave him GAK buttons, a Courtney button and some other cool stuff from the My Living Dead Girl Shop!. He quietly said "Thanks." He loved the postcard of Courtney attacking a fellow student on the bus and told me he would check out the web site and then signed my books. See below...



"Noble Name." and "Love Your Work!" How's that for endorsements? Is it a stretch to say, "Max Brookes Loves My Living Dead Girl." Maybe. At lest I can hold my head up with pride.

The My Living Dead Girl Studio

Hello All,

A number of people have asked me to post some pictures of my studio where I work on the strip. Well here you are. Yes, that's my DVD collection on the wall. Yes, that's a lot of DVDs. I like movies. To my left I have my "Sinister Six" Bowen bust collection. On the desk Galactus and The Big Guy are also on hand to help me out. On the wall, an original drawing by Ub Iwerks from the 1929 Silly Symphonies cartoon "The Skeleton Dance". Also a Guy Davis drawing of Abe Sapien from "Hellboy". On top of the cabinet my "Hellboy" statue collection. Lastly, I work on my little I-Mac, that's about 6 years old. I had to buy a back up external drive recently to hold all the art work I've been doing.



You can never do any work in the studio, unless you have a cat on your lap. Murphy needs a lot of attention now that Hugo is around.



Speaking of Mr.Hugo (My NEW Boss) here he is looking over the final strip this week. He's a real hard ass when it comes to spelling and graphic content. I miss spelled "WHHHAAAGH?" Ok. More vomit? Whatever you says Boss. Well, there it is.

Re: Your Brains. GAK!

I found this on the web today. Thought it was a really funny song. Check it out, zombie fans.

The Hole - video powered by Metacafe

A music video for Jonathan Coulton's song "Re: Your Brains", a song about having to deal with your jerk co-worker even after he's been turned into a zombie. Jonathan Coulton is a singer/songwriter who releases his songs via the Creative Commons license, which enables projects such as this video. Through his "Thing A Week" podcast, Jonathan has put out a clever, creative song like this one each week for a year. The song at the end of the video is "Mandelbrot Set", another great Jonathan Coulton song. Go to www.jonathancoulton.com for more.

My Living Dead Girl News Flash!

Hello Gak-e-teers!

It's been 11 weeks since I stopped working on My Living Dead Girl
to enjoy fatherhood. Dena and I had our first son, Hugo Abraham McDonald, on Jan 3rd and we could not be happier. Being a new parent is truly amazing. Our thanks go to all who wrote in giving their best wishes and to all the family and friends who helped us give Mr. Hugo a great start.

I also want to apologize to all the fans for not getting things starting sooner, but having a newborn is really, really time consuming. I thought "Hey, I can do comicstrip work at night when the little Hugo's asleep. Right?" WRONG! Hugo has been a lot of work. He has acid reflux and sleeping and eating have been very hard on him. But some time has passed and he's doing much, much better and now I can start moving some of my spare time back to doing the strip again.

So. . . starting March 30th My Living Dead Girl will return! No more delays. No Bull#@%! This will happen! Hugo has given me a lot of new material to use for the strip and I hope your ready for more!



So Gak-e-teers, what can you do in the meantime? You can vote! I want you to click on the banner below and do your civic duty. We need to knock "Dead-Ted Films" out of the top slot and put My Living Dead Girl back at #1. You can vote everyday! Courtney needs your support! Do it now!



See you all on the 30th!

The End of My Living Dead Girl?

Hello My Living Dead Girl Fans,

The End of MY LIVING DEAD GIRL you say? No, no not "THE END". This weeks special episode of A NEW LIFE is going to be the last episode you'll see for 7 weeks. The strip is going on hiatus.

GAK WHAT!? GAK WHY!? GAK!

Well, my wife and I have had our 1st child ( HUGO ) on January 3rd and I want to spend some time being a father. Diaper changes, 3am feedings and drool! It will be a blast! There will be All NEW strips starting on Friday March 3rd. Please be diligent GAK-A-TEERS and take the time to look over some of the older strips. I've made some small changes to ALL of them. NO! I didn't go crazy on them like George Lucas did to the original Star Wars films. I just did little stuff, like backgrounds and lighting. Gave them more of a darker feeling. I think the strips looks better and are now constant. Tell me what you think.

So thats, that GAK FANS. See you in 11 weeks for episode 4 of 3rd Period of the Damned!

Best,

Jason

My Living Dead Girl School Days!

Hey There My Living Dead Girl Fans.! I've been working REALLY hard on upcoming episode 5: 3RD PERIOD OF THE DAMNED and episode 6: AFTER SCHOOL BLOODBATH. I thought I'd share with you some things that are coming up. Episodes 5 and 6 deal with Courtney at her school, called RESURRECTION ACADEMY so I've been designing LOTS of school kids, classrooms and playgrounds. A very large task to draw 20 to 30 Boys and Girls and make them all different from each other. I'm cheating on a few. Changing heads and bodies. Also backgrounds are killing me, but I won't have to draw them again in the future when we come back to a school story line. Anyway enjoy and keep writing me with remarks about the strip. Love it or hate it, I will try to answer all your questions as they come. Best & GAK!

The Amazing Screw-On Head is Here!

I just saw The Amazing Screw-On Head at the Sci-fi channels website. It's based on HELLBOY creator Mike Mignola's comic The Amazing Screw-on Head. Paul Giamatti is the voice of our hero "Screw-on Head" and Davd Hyde Pierce is the voice of the villainous "Emperor Zombie". Great stuff. It looks like Mignola's work come to life. Please check it out. Take the survey. GAK!

Autograph from a Real Living Dead Girl!

Hey GAK! Fans,

I won a cool autographed photo of The Ultimate Living Dead Girl herself, Kyra Schon on Ebay this week! She played Karen Cooper in Night of the Living Dead. She's the little girl who is bitten by a zombie, dies, raises again as an undead and attacks her mother with a garden trowel in the cellar. The most famous scene in the movie! I found her website The Ghoul Next Door and thought you might enjoy. Now I have to get a frame for this baby and put it up.

A Background from "My Living Dead Girl"

Here's a BG that I did for an upcoming episode of My Living Dead Girl called "3rd Period of the Damned". The episode takes place at Courtney's private school. I found a picture online of Harvard university and decided to use it a reference for the front of Resurrection Academy.
I think it works for what I needed.

Original Walking Dead Pages

Wanted to share this with you. I picked up some sweet art from The Walking Dead by Charlie Adlard on SPLASH PAGE ART. He's been working on The Walking Dead From issues #8 to #28. It's beautiful black & white work. Charlie has a really loose brush style and a great page design layout. Enjoy. GAK!
