Best Halloween wishes to you all!




100 Jacks? These folks must be off their gourd...

 

May every house be this house on your Trick or Treat route!

All the best for a fun, sweet, and safe Halloween from all of us at

Neverland Transit Authority.

Well, hello! (And Trick or Treat!)

It's time, once again, for another edition of My Drunk Kitchen.

This week: Halloween candy review!

(As always, watch with discresion: NSFW language.)

Happy Halloween from The Conductor
and the station crew at
Neverland Transit Authority!

New comic Friday is back!

Yes, yes, I know; I have totally dropped the ball

on new comic announcements, lately. Bad Conductor, bad!

So, without further adue...

You think this is impressive? Come back in six hours...

We're getting close to wrapping things up

in today's edition of

Galactic Gun: The Adventures of Justin Bailey

"Pocket Full of Posies"

from Neverland Transit Authority.

Talk about hogging all the good spots...

Even in the ad business it's all about location, location, location...

Bats in my belfry!

Well, if nothing else, it looks like DC, via WB studios,

is going to give me my real Batman Year One after all...

Of course this... this is... wow.

Miller and the Sin City effect for the win, Alex.

The Conductor's prayer...



I'm not sure who cooked this up, but... WORD.



Occupied...

With all the hype from media outlets pratcially demonizing the Occupy Wallstreet movement, and its growing, global following, memebers of Fark, armed with a camera, thought it a good idea to head down and see for themselves if this was the spoiled, self entittled, group of whiners that were portrayed on the news.

Meanwhile, as the fight for our country rages on, it might be important for the rest of us to follow the example of middle America, tighten our belts, and deal.

It's a two sided front to save "The American Dream", but one worth fighting!!!

Most epic Flash Mob, ever!

On May 2, 2011, the Copenhagen Philharmonic amazed commuters at the Copenhagen Central Train Station, as they created a kind of orchestral "flash mob" – performing Ravel's famed Bolero, with the musicians gradually assembling in place as the work progresses.

A decade of monkeying around...

It's hard to beleive, but The Gorlliaz are celebrating ten years of recording greatness. And it's an impressive discography that includes random remixes, odd contributions, and an inventive style and execution that put the gang on the map for quite some time.

A virtual cartoon band in a new, at the time, unrealized genre? And boasting such characters as a leader who is a bassist and a proud Satanist, a drummer that channels a dead rapper, an orphaned run away Japanese girl, and a cultural throw away for a lead singer...

With the fate of the band up in the air, it's a good time to stop and take stock of what they've pulled off. Here's to hoping for ten more fabulous years!

Halloween is officially here! It's All Hallows Rock!

It's that time of the year, again, and the crew over at Neverland Transit Authority

have put together a little something to make you holiday a spooktacular one.

Third in the set, following on the heels of last year's hit

Bride of All Hallows Rock

is the announcement of the loving undead couple's

bouncing bundle of scare.

How do you scare one up?

Ask the spirits.

Avengers Assemble!

Her it is; your first look at Marvel's Avengers!

The Backwater Gospel

In the name of what is the first stone cast?

Heaven and Hell...

Technically I stole this from her blog. But I can say she has way more talent that I ever did.

The sad part is that I’m 37 years old, and I actually do have a crush.

Some of these things are answered by me;

some tongue in cheek, and some very seriously.

Except number fifty four.

Circle the Chuck Wagons!!!!!!!!

What would I be doing at Hiller Aviation museum?

Because someone parked a few of these there!

Soon enough I spied Old Port's Shackmobile!

And then I got my om nom nom on, Louisiana style!

I think it's safe to say that the roach coach has come a long way since my days in the trades. With themes, four star foods, sponsoring restaurants, and even, now, accepting credit and debit cards (Which is good, today's lunch cost $15!), it's no longer greasy burgers, tacos, and soggy sandwiches.

I'm not sure I'm gonna get used to gourmet lunch wagons.

Not that I'm gonna stop trying, mind you!

You've come a long way, baby!

The wheels of the train keep turning down that winding track. And no better place can you see where you're going than from where you've been.

A good case in point? Well, for me, it's the orginal version of page one of Neverland Transit Authority's Galactic Gun: The Adventures of Justin Bailey in Pocket Full of Posies side by side with the new cleaned version that I'm using to lure some poor unsuspecting fool recruit a new engineer to fix up the old art and get it spiffy for print...



No, it's a remastering; not the Lucas treatment...

The only thing I'm really going to do with the old pages is just get them digitally painted. Yeah, there's a lot of  sway in the characters, as far as design goes. But, I think it's best to leave that the way it is, instead of try to redraw panels, and such. It feels right to actually show how the title grew, matured, and changed throughout this story. I mean, I don't want to get all Star Wars Hack Happy, right?

Talk about a head of lettuce...

Ah, October; when a young immature cartoonist's thoughts turn to thoughts of fun frolic carving skulls out of cabbage.

Wait... What?

Traveling music...

Is this what it means to "take this act on the road" in Russia?

She's no drip...

One of the biggest hang ups for me, in fine art, is controlling the paint; not just keeping consistent colors, but also manipulating it with the brush. Well, noted artist Amy Shackleton has definitely got that problem beat...

For more of Amy's work, and where her work is showing, you can visit her gallery.
