Robot Sketch

Here is the first page in my sketchbook-thingy. It's a robot.

Doodle Book Thing

Last Christmas, I got this weird book called "The Boys' Doodle Book." I never thought I'd use it, and it's just been gathering dust lately, but now, I think I've found a use for it.

Each page has a different doodle prompt, with little side drawings to assist you.

So, whenever I want to do a sketch, I can flip to the next page in the book, draw whatever the heck it tells me to, scan it, and put it on the blog. This works better than my "random sketches," because not only does it suggest things for me (because you guys never give me suggestions), but it stretches my creativity. It's an excellent exercise, I do believe.

So. This should be interesting.

Blog Update!

Hello, everybody! As you can see, I've updated the blog! The blog navigation tools are on the left, while the social networking gadgets are are the right. Plus, I created a new favicon! Look at that!

Also, this week my friend Joey and I helped out at a cartooning camp. These are a few of the many drawings and excersises I did while I was there.

New Google+ Page

Google+ is confusing.

For a while, I've been posting things regularly on what I now realize is my personal Google+ profile.

Then I got a Facebook account. After using Facebook for a while, I went back to Google+ to learn that it's almost the exact same thing. So I reworked my personal profile into a more personal profile, then created the actual John Rioux Comics page.

So, if any of you out there actually use Google+, you can follow my page here.

Oh, and if you don't already follow me on Twitter/Facebook, here are a couple of random sketches I've done this summer:

News Update!

And now for a News Update!

Wormhole is NOT going to be a webcomic!

Well, the first issue will be published online.

…and possibly subsequent issues.

But my ultimate goal is for it to be published in PAPER form!

Thank you. Enjoy your day.
