It will be held at Floating World Comics in Portland, OR! I initially created more action oriented concepts, but after having researched more and reflected deeply on their overall principles, I decided to focus on the more quiet route of the Yakuza’s everyday existence amongst the average community members. The part that intrigued me was the fact they consider themselves more business men than criminals, much like the Mafia crime syndicate.
Also, since it’s hard to see here and I thought it looked cool on its own, I’ve included the three step process I took to make the faded figure in the background. This is also representative of a method in which I’ve been working lately. I will make the initial drawing on bristol paper, but then I will ink various segments of the same image on separate layers of vellum or tracing paper. This allows me to make alterations and adjustments on size or placement while I’m in the digital process. It will also be a necessary portion of a long-term project I’ll be working on at my company dobot, which is a design company that my friend and I have started. You will be seeing this name alongside mine on many future products. Find out more here!

Hey everyone!
Here is a preview of the first 8 pages of my upcoming comic “Re-pro-duct”, written by my friend Austin Wilson and published by wonderful people at 215Ink! It’s going to run as a 6 issue mini-series, and you can download our first issue for FREE from the 215Ink App found for the iPad in the iTunes store! ( http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/215-ink/id449585609?mt=8 ) The printed edition of the first issue will be available soon and I will be selling and signing copies at the upcoming Heroes Con in North Carolina!

And if you really love it, please let us know and we will be sure to get you a copy as soon as we can, or get one from me in person at NC, signed! I hope you enjoy it! Also, if you’d like to keep posted on my recent pages for issue two, I will be tweeting updates as it comes along @LoganFaerber on Twitter.
Secondly, I apologize for my lack of recent posting, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been working hard. Over the past month or so I’ve been developing three comics, an e-book, a painting, and working on my start-up design company, “Dobot” (pronounced do-bot). There will be much more to come very soon regarding all of these projects.
You can see more of our publisher’s fantastic line-up at www.215ink.com
Thanks again for all your love and support! Keep creating!

Postcard I made for the holidays this season. It’s a design based on the concept of Christmas Squid; a character design I made years ago when I was first in college. I imagine the story to be very similar to Nightmare Before Christmas where the squid sees imagery of Santa and begins to replicate his actions as best he can, which involves raising the sea level and delivering garbage from the bottom of the ocean.
This was a commission I received from Shelli Paroline whilst at Heroes Con this past weekend. Yes, it’s Julia Child as a spy. It took me a while to really grasp and conceive how this could work, but I think I managed. Check out her Adventure Time comics and other work here http://shelligator.tumblr.com/
I was honored to have made a pin-up piece for the upcoming run of Image comics’ Luther Strode series by the great team of Tradd Moore and Justin Jordan. This is a new character, thus I decided to stay relatively true to her design for now at least. I can safely say the book is looking phenomenal! Definitely keep an eye out if you’re interested in great art and a great story!
I recently joined the collective group called Brand New Nostalgia, which was created by my good friend Andrew McLean (we’ll be sharing a booth at the BostonComicCon and are both part of Out Of Step Artists). Every week we will be selecting a specific theme to inspire each of to create an illustration. This week was the amazing Miami Vice. Check it out here! http://brandnewnostalgia.tumblr.com/

Enjoy!
For the last week or so I’ve been working on some designs for a website. They are Boston based start-up company that deals with finding and comparing auto-repair shops’ pricing and availability. This illustration was for the homepage. The first one I did on the left was a bit too “my style” and didn’t quite fit the feel we were going for on the site. The second one was the revamped version that was a bit more architectural and sleek, which better fir the style we were aiming for. Each one stays true to and represents the overall palette of the page.

Here is the first page of a 12pg comic that I’m working on for another anthology. This one deals with the theme of “Metal”, and the story that I and Austin Wilson, aka “Hideous Energy”, are working on is titled “Six Barrel Shotgun”. The story opens with a large one page spread of the heroine named “Crater”. Tune in to find out more in the coming weeks! It’s going to be brutal. -L
I’ve been working closely with the Boston based band The Shills to design their new album “Keep Your Hands Busy” that will be releasing later this year. And since the album’s themes stray to the darker side of life, the idea behind this design was to create a collage of hands doing various activities to essentially distract oneself from the variety of miseries that plague us all in life; internally and externally. Making it a very clear theme that we can all relate to.
A variant cover I did for DC Comics’ “Harley Quinn The Animated Series Legion of Bats” issue 1, which comes out October 19, 2022! I had so much creating this one since I adore Harley and Ivy (they’re my favorite DC couple). And I wanted to place them into a cute dating scenario that could include little nods to various other infamous Batman characters, and what better place to do so than a Gotham City arcade?
I’ve included the original thumbnail sketch along with the final inks to share some of the processes that go behind the final colored piece. I hope ya’ll enjoy it! You can read more about the upcoming issue below:
