New 1134 Press Branding
13 JunAs we move forward with 1134 Press, we’ve identified a number of things that could be improved upon. Which means a good amount of busy work for this guy. I’m not going to spend any time here going over all the updates on the agenda, or the plans for new projects on the horizon. I do, however, want to reveal the new logo for 1134 Press.
If you’ve caught any of the 1134 Press videos on YouTube, or have perused the other website at all, you might be familiar with the 1134 Press logo. I generally like the previous logo. But there was certainly room for improvement. There will be more updates to come across our platforms (not much is likely to change here at 1134 Comix, though).
I don’t see much reason to belabor the point here. So, see below for the new 1134 Press logo unveiled.
Drawing Batman
6 JunI had a hard time deciding what I was going to do for 1134 Comix this week. I planned to make a new News from the Crypt episode. There were a few things that popped up in the news this past week that I though worthy of lampooning, but I just couldn’t decide. I might be moving away from making commentary through online comics. I’ve found myself much more focused lately on writing in general and other 1134 Press stuff. And I’ve been feeling the urge to get back to more drawing for fun, rather than going for jokes. I’m sure I’ll be making a comic about some politician before I know it, though. I’m all over the place.
I woke up today without a proper idea for 1134 Comix. I was going to skip this week. After putting on this Batman t-shirt, however, I had my idea. I always liked drawing Batman. He’s one of my favorite DC Comics heroes, and I think he’s fun to draw. I tend to go for the big, super muscle-bound version of Batman when I draw him. I also like the blue and gray costume to draw. I do like the black costume with the armor and everything, but if I’m drawing for fun, I’m going gray and blue.
I hope you enjoy the video!

Drawing in Watercolor
30 May
I’m trying something a little different this week. Rather than a drawing of one of my comic characters, or something else similar to previous videos, I made a drawing in watercolor. For the drawing, I took inspiration from a short story I wrote some years ago now. If you would like to read the story that inspired my drawing, I’ll link to it below. The Story is called The Transcendental Man. I also give some more context to the drawing, and spend some time speaking about creativity, 1134 Comix, and 1134 Press in general. That’s another thing new this week—I actually put my face on camera.

Cartoon Drawing
16 May
This week I wanted to do another video on drawing cartoons. More specifically, original characters from the 1134 Comix pantheon. But which character to do … that was the question. A number of weeks ago I posted an episode of “News from the Crypt” that featured a character called, “Mr. Pillow.” Obviously, the character is based on Mike Pillow, famed conspiracy theorist and pillow man. I recorded the drawing at the time, but I never did anything with the video. I figured this week would be good as any to post up the creation of Mr. Pillow. Besides, the video I had previously started for this week went wildly off the rails—I think it’s turning into something different than intended (which could be good or bad).
I hope you like this short drawing video!
