New Lucky Lush Comic

2010-06-07T19:52:00.000-07:00

Yes, it's been far too long.
Updates:
I have a 12 page story in a new anthology put out by the Indy WebComics Group.
The book is the IWG Presents: Welcome to Indiana A Comic Anthology and you can buy that from IWG here. With around 20 contributors, there's some really great comics in here.
My contribution is Onion Head Jones and maybe I'll get around to posting some pics of the comic soon.
Here's the latest Lucky Lush that I finally got around to finishing. There's a few panels that got repeated when I scanned it in and I'm too tired to crop them so you shall deal. Enjoy!
Part One:

Part Two:

Hopefully more comics sooner than once every few months...

BACK FROM THE DEAD

2010-01-26T20:34:00.000-08:00

Whoops! Time for some drawings.
First, that scamp JP Moneybags from Free Comics in '07.

And then a recent sketchbook page where i was messin with an ink brush:

And since I'll never get this colored, here's that Mitchie Rich comic I previewed earlier:

I've been busy with the 12 page comic for far too long but after multiple computer related setbacks I'm very close to previewing some pages of Onionhead Jones before it goes to print. Yeeesh. I'm terrible at blogging.

It's Been A Long Time...

2009-08-24T20:19:00.000-07:00

I'm pretty sure no one actually checks this but in case you've stumbled upon this site here's two of the latest Bar Comics by me and Sacred
First one: Monkey Tales

Next up, CLOWNIN

Been workin on a 12 page Onionhead Jones strip for the IWC Anthology and it's coming along nicely. More details as they become available. I think I'll be doing some live art this weekend as well so I'll be sure to take some pics of that. Michie Rich is still on the way with a number of other goodies to follow. Stay tuned...

In Progress

2009-07-23T13:29:00.000-07:00

I've been kinda busy this week. Here's a sample of what I'm working on. Mitchie Rich will probably appear in color soon. Also, beats and records for sale! I'll be there playin music, drawin and drainin threes on the mini-hoop. And stackin chedda. Maaaaaaaaaad chedda yo.

Classic Lucky Lush

2009-07-20T13:20:00.000-07:00

As you can tell from the date, I've been documenting Lucky's life for a long time.

BONUS POST!

2009-07-18T08:30:00.000-07:00

I found this in the archives and decided to post it since the venue this WAS at is now closed. About three weeks after i made this the joint was closed for business. I was really happy with this flier and now of course, it's irrelevant. So it goes...

On a side note, I decided to gut my record collection and open a booth at a flea market to sell records and hang out with NASCAR fans. I have no doubt that this will show up in some comics eventually. I only mention this because that is what I'm going to do after I post up. You've been warned.

I'm coloring a new Lucky Lush and hope to have that up next week. Until then...

The Latest lucky Lush

2009-05-06T19:27:00.000-07:00

I'm working on finishing another tonight and hopefully there will be an update soon. More bar comics on the way, as well as sketches and the like. Stay tuned...

Lost Bar Comic

2009-04-15T21:14:00.000-07:00

Just found this one.

Thomas Jefferson was a busy man...

Duels, Buggery, Space Aliens, Thomas Jefferson, Slavery and Severed penises.
This one is for everyone that ever dared to dream.

NEW BAR COMICS

2009-04-15T21:01:00.000-07:00

The latest:
Monster Bowling

Pianist Envy

Not quite sure why Todd has such a oddly proportioned manager but I guess you get what you can afford. I do like how the dude in the last panel is rockin a tie with no shirt.
I gotta try that sometime.
Also, there are a few Lucky Lush strips I need to scan in and post. Hopefully soon.
Like, sooner than two months from now.

NEW COMICS AND SUCH

2009-04-15T20:50:00.000-07:00

Apologies for no posts for the last 2 months. I've been busy not posting.
But hey, here's some things to look at:

Sketchbook stuff

The first page is just some random page I filled with drawings. Not sure when i did it.
The second one was made during a pretty bring rainy day at the record store.
The third one was drawn while listening to an episode or two of "This American Life"
Some of the things drawn here refer to things I heard on the show. I like the watcher bit.
I'll try harder to post more often now that I can scan again.

Sketchbook #2

Sketchbook Stuff

2009-01-27T09:35:00.000-08:00

I have tons of sketchbooks with drawings a plenty. Here's a scan from my small book.
I'm a pretty big fan of Andre. You should be too. Also, I draw very ugly women.

Free Comics#2

2009-01-26T21:47:00.000-08:00

A comic from "Free Comics 2" Not for yo chill ren.

Placemat Drawings

2009-01-26T21:31:00.002-08:00

I drew this at Union Jack's Pub where a bunch of cartoonists I like were hanging out. The wrinkles you see aren't from the condensation of my two beers on the paper, but from the sweat of my brow. Cartoons are hard work.

Lucky Lush

2009-01-24T15:57:00.000-08:00

I think this was the second Lucky Lush strip I drew a few years ago. I'm much better at inking now. More cartoons to be posted soon.

New Lucky Lush Comic

2009-01-22T12:59:00.000-08:00

I finally completed this comic last night after picking at it for the better part of a year. Sometimes when I get frustrated with how a comic is developing I work on other stuff and ignore the comic until I clean off the drawing table and rediscover the neglected comic. In this case, it took far too long for such an unfunny comic. So it goes...

Bar Comics part 3

2009-01-20T05:43:00.000-08:00

This is the first bar comic me and Sacred did. He did the blue drawings and I did the darker ones. Just another boring day in the neighborhood...

Bar Comics part deux

2009-01-19T11:23:00.000-08:00

Possibly the most offensive bar comic we've made yet. At least until the one about the haunted porno shop goes up. It goes, Sacred, me, Sacred, me. Chekkit:

Bar Comics part one

2009-01-16T11:58:00.000-08:00

Whenever me and the homie Sacred catch a drink at our local watering hole we always bring along pens and paper to draw while waiting for our food. As a result, we've drawn a number of jam comics whilst imbibing mad beers. Usually one of us will start the comic by drawing one panel and then passing it back and forth until it's done. It's always completely spontaneous and usually leads to a pretty good comic, or at least something to do while copping a buzz. Here's one called "Crudely drawn Lincoln Wins Again"

2009-01-16T11:52:00.000-08:00

I unexpectedly found myself with free-time today so I figured I'd unleash a flurry of scanning in works so I can update this site more often. Here's the first comic scanned directly from my notebook. I drew it a few years ago to keep myself in check and it worked. I'm now balling dangerously out of control. Yep.

Poster for the show

2008-11-11T22:45:00.000-08:00

Just cause I'm still up trying to upload images to other spots I figured I'd drop the latest product from the drawing table. This is all pen and ink with the exception of the Dirty Thirty logo. But i designed that so it's all me in the end. Wanted to color it but ran out of time. I still dig it.

Out.

The Dirty Thirty Eeepee cover

2008-09-13T13:01:00.001-07:00

Besides drawing cartoons about alcoholic funnymen I also make beats and rap with these guys.
I drew the artwork and designed the logo and did everything else art-wise. Also, please note that the "Parental Advisory Explicit Lyrics" is of the old-school variety before everything was "Explicit Content" because I'm picky like that. Also, that's me on the right with the beard.
If you're interested in hearing our music you can go a few places:
MySpace
Amazon
You can also buy it on itunes but I'm not linking to them because I can't find the page. It's there though...
and some other places like Rhapsody and other digital download stores and whatever.
Or you can buy a physical copy from me. Email me for details: jspetruniw@gmail.com

More Lucky Lush

These are the first two Lucky Lush comics that ran:

Enjoy

Lucky Lush & Jesus

2008-09-13T12:41:00.000-07:00

Lucky Lush has been running in indy.com magazine sporadically over that last 3 months but there's no way to see them online. Until now (cue dramatic music)...

Enjoy. I'll be posting more stuff as I can.
Also, blogger is cutting off the image for some reason. Click on the image or visit this website to see the comic:

Let's get this nonsense started right!

2008-07-16T16:33:00.001-07:00

This first post is a test. More images and witty banter to come soon. Oh yeah, and comics.
That's a bigger version of my profile pic right there.
