Not every project gets made. This is a page from a pitch for a comics documentary about the Apollo 12 mission. We even had Captain Alan Bean (the Apollo 12 Lunar Module Pilot) on board to advise on the book. I would have had a lot of fun working on this.

Friendships beginning around a campfire. A sneak peek at Baron von Bear and the Case of the Two-Faced Statue.

The year before I began working on the book I did a lot of test images to try to find an art style that prioritized speed and flexibility. In the end I landed on penciling in Clip Studio Paint, inking on watercolor paper, then painting in Clip Studio Paint.
