The Hamelin Murders!

Officers Lansdowne and Harringon and their cat Gunpowder are back in the Hamelin Murders!

Featured in the Anthology Shakespeare Shaken from Red Stylo Media, The Hamelin Murders is the sequel to The Tell Tale Cat from The Poe Twisted Anthology. Here is a look at the first few pages...

...and that's enough spoilers for now! The only thing else I will tell you is that you shouldn't take advice from a cat and that murders are on the horizon!

The Hamelin Murders is based off of Shakespeare's Hamelet and Macbeth, the same way that The Tell Tale Cat is based off Edgar Allen Poe's The Black Cat and The Tell Tale Heart. For fans of TTC there will be some in-jokes and refrences in Hamelin, but you won't need them to enjoy the story.

So pick up The Hamelin Murders here, it's less then a bottle of water and impresses more people!

New Cuddlers Print

A print I did up for the upcoming project I'm working on with Yannick Morin the writer of Nearly Perfect in the Comix Tribe's Oxymoron Anthology! Run Barbara Run!

Nightly Drawing: Big fat guy!

I was going to put up something new but I ain't got time to bleed (that's from Predator by the way). An old painting I did from my college days. If I remember, my professors hated it.

Nightly Drawing: Cuddlers Preview!

They're coming to pet you Barbara!

All right, time to start up the nightly drawings again and great way to start off is the preview of the new comic that Yannick Morin and I are working on. Cuddlers, coming soon!

Red Ten sketch cover NYCC

While I'm at it, here is a Red Ten sketch cover I drew at the Comix Tribe booth at NYCC, a full story on this weekend soon!

What Happens When Your Empire Goes Boom?

A new poster that I did up for the New York Comic Con! I have to give my brother the credit for this one, all his idea.

Nightly Drawing: Lansdowne & Harrington

Here is a panel from my upcoming story in Red Stylo Media's Shakespeare Shaken, "The Hamelin Murders" featuring Officers Lansdowne and Harrington and their cat Gunpowder. This story is the sequel to my story "The Tell Tale Cat" that appeared in The Poe Twisted Anthology. More info on this later!

Nightly Drawing: Vic Boone and this guy

These guys are a little late, but that's okay. This daily post thing is new anyways.

So once again above is a panel from the upcoming Vic Boone Anthology I'm working on. I found out it's tough to show off to much of this without giving the story away. So hopefully this doesn't ruin anything.

And since this is late, as a bonus here is this guy!

Nightly Drawing: Mr. Cameron Teaching Robert Newton Peck

So this is apart of an animation I'm doing for my friend Justin Cameron which he'll be using at his school this fall. The cartoon will discuss the book "A Day No Pigs Would Die" which I assume is about hamburgers. 

Daily Drawing: Upset Jerk

The upset jerk. You know I should probably change the name of these posts to the nightly drawing, I don't think I have posted one before midnight.

Daily Drawing: Say, that's some fancy robot

Dancing the night away. Or watching a game with an invisible hotdog and a beer. I may have to add those later.

Daily Drawing: Vic Boone and some crazy lady!

So here is a couple of shots from the Vic Boone Anthology coming soon. Above our hero enjoying a cigarette and below a close up of a background character who is apparently extremely scared of poker chips.

Daily Drawing: The Eyes Have It

My brother Adam thought this was a boob, you be the judge.

Daily Drawing: Vic Boone background characters

I'm going to try this out and hopefully it sticks.

 Everyday I'm going to post a picture of whatever I've been working on that day and show it off here.

So to start things off here are the characters I have made up for the crowd scene in the Vic Boone story I'm illustrating. The comic, written by Scott R. Schmidt, is apart of an anthology that will be coming out later this year. More on this book to come, so for now enjoy looking at these weirdos.

Oxymoron Talk show tonight!

So today is the final day for the Oxymoron Kickstarter campaign! To celebrate there will be the... End of Campaign "ComixTribe Live" Event Tonight at 9pm! So Listen to the podcast tonight on Talkshoe from 9-11 PM eastern time, I'll be calling in at some point along with some of the other contributors to the book! Here is the link to the show! And speaking of the anthology, check out the variant cover my buddy Larry Doherty did up (I did the colors)!

And not to mention the Jam cover (my illustration is underneath the name, to the right, with a chainsaw)...

And of course my own Variant cover!

Hope you enjoy tonight's show!

The Oxymoron Hardcover Graphic Novel!

As of late Tyler James and Comix Tribe have put together an anthology based on the villain from the book The Red Ten the Oxymoron (in case you forgot I made up a pin up for them, which became a variant cover for the book using this character which you can see below).

I was asked to illustrate the story "Nearly Perfect" written by Yannick Morin (who also did Comix Tribe's Points of Impact). The story is about the Oxymoron kidnapping the finalists of the Miss Swanstown Beauty pageant and it's up to Red and the Crimson Kid to save them! It's good story and gets mighty gruesome. For example, for some of the scenes I was looking at the movie Dead Alive for inspiration, and if you haven't seen that I highly suggest you don't eat while you watch it. Here are the first couple of pages to wet your beak...

Along with this there will hopefully be some variant covers (the kickstarter needs to get up to $14,000 and as of this writing they are currently at $13,205)! One will have each artist represented on the cover. The cover will have the Oxymoron standing in front of a broken mirror and each shard will have an individual illustration. Here is yours truly...

Can't go wrong with a chainsaw. Along with this is my own Variant cover for the book! Comix Tribe is currently promoting it by saying "WARNING: This Alex Cormack Variant Will Give You Nightmares!" Or Frightmares, but that's another story. Anyways here is the cover...

Here it is as it would be on the book itself...

So Donate some money and pick up this book! I'll leave you with Comix Tribe's promotional video for the project (where my work can be seen throughout!) Alex

The Cape Pin Up

The hardcover collection of IDW's The Cape just came out with my pin up in the back!

So a while back, Jason Ciaramella (the writer of The Cape, the story is based off a Joe Hill's short story) came up to a Drink and Draw at Larry's Comics in Lowell (for an extra plug for Larry, he's been a guest on 107.3 WAAF morning show on Mondays lately) and gave us a one page script where the main character Eric spray paints "Eric was here" on the Bunker Hill Monument. I drew this up for him and inked it in the ol computer and now it's in the back of the hardcover trade back! So go pick it up, it's a great story and the art by Zach Howard is wicked good! Also it takes place in my own back yard so if you're from MASS you'll like it even more.

Thanks to my buddies Jason Ciaramella, Stephen Pennimpede, and Larry.

My Name is Jonah and Free Comic Book Day.

So today is Free Comic Book Day and I'll be up at Double Midnight Comics up in Manchester New Hampshire, so come on up and get some sketches and see me! Also out today is volume 2 of My Name is Jonah: Jonah Lives Again! featuring my 2 page spread seen below! Here is a link to check out the entire comic.

My Name is Jonah is a documentary about Jonah who is a "real life warrior, adventurer, and musician..." That being said I figured I would have him knocking out some of the toughest bad guys I could think of (from left to right, Venom, Micheal Myers, Khan, Voldemort, Juggernaut, Predator, Freddy Kruger, Bane, Terminator, Alien, Joker, Bizarro Superman, Shredder, Jason, Hulk, Skeletor, and Darth Vader). Here is the trailer for the movie! So that's it for now, see you up in NH! Alex
