Matt Page

“Work in progress.”

“New Future Day Saints ashcan will debut at Sunstone Symposium next month. I’m currently working on volume 3 (The New Arrivals) and it will come out next year. This zine will be a sneak peek as to what’s to come.

Ashcan is a term from back in the day for a cheap, small, usually black and white comic they would print to establish a trademark for upcoming titles. In the 80s and 90s, they started releasing ashcan comics as prototypes and for promotional use. They became collectors items.

This will be the second Future Day Saints ashcan I will be releasing. The first was released last year as part of bundles with my second FDS volume. My ashcans contain sketches and process art. It’s basically a zine with background art from the book.”




Katrina Parkinson

“Watching the last of the butterflies before everything freezes and winter arrives. I dread this day more than any other day of the year. I go to bed with a beautiful,colorful garden and wake up to frozen flowers that quickly turn black. Saying goodbye to my garden until Spring is one of the hardest things for me mentally. I put so much work into my garden that seeing it all die so quickly is a bit sad.” 🖤

A “quick’ practice sketch in ink. I’ve got to get ready for #inktober this year.” 😅

“Another practice sketch. Not sure what this one is, but it was fun to draw.” 😁

“I’ve been working on some page layouts with dialog for #EmyandHerald Here is a preview of the first page with #sketches It wasn’t until I started studying layout design that I realized just how much of an art form it is. Leading the reader’s eye from one panel to the next, and trying to follow all of the rules about lettering is challenging, but well worth it.” 😊




Melanie Bunch

“A sampling of the illustrations that I’ve been working on for the past few weeks. My company has developed a new product, and I have written and illustrated the user’s guide. Now that the first drafts are complete, I think I’ll go draw things that don’t have straps and buckles and pockets…”

The (mostly) finished User’s Guide with the illustrations I posted earlier. Management reviewed this document in a meeting yesterday, and it received rave reviews! I wrote the text as well – and the only changes they made were very minor grammatical changes (2 of the managers are former school teachers).Since we make the same pockets on some of our seat covers, they now want a modified version for that. So….now I’ll be drawing more pockets and straps again….hooray!”
