Illustrator Astronauts

Illustrator is a very hard program to grasp at first but once you get rolling, you’ll start to make some really great things.  I need much more practice and tutorials with this program but the results of my first fully illustrator image are decent I suppose.  There’s still so much I would have done with [...]

Did You Have Your MoCCA Today?

Today was MoCCA’s awesome indie festival,  MoCCAfest!  It’s happening right now at the 69th Armory in Manhattan, New York.  There’s a small entrance fee of $12 but that fee is your gateway to some real awesome quality comic art.  Chromaengine headed off to the sea of the obsessed today to “check out the goods!”  It [...]
