Sneak Peek: Make Westing
Another of the upcoming Split Lip stories features the return of former Split Lip artist to the fold, in this case Anthony Peruzzo, who drew Ashes to Ashes in late 2008.
In this new story, Anthony and I are adapted Jack London’s story of horror on the high seas, “Make Westing.”
It’s a fun, dark story and Anthony is creating it with loose lines and a terrific multi-hued gray tint.
After the jump, check out a page of pencils and one of inks from the story. Keep track of his work at his Flickr feed and watch for the story on Split Lip this fall.

Sneak Peek: Look Carefully
As I mentioned a while back, Sami Makkonen is drawing an upcoming Split Lip story called “Look Carefully.” The story is about an aging photographer who doubts his skills and vitality who encounters a strange man who changes his perspective - not necessarily for the better.
As you’d expect from his previous work at Split Lip, Sami’s work on the story is excellent. Pages 7 and 8 from “Look Carefully” after the jump.
Look for the story at Split Lip in August and September.

Split Lip Returns with 7 New Stories, iPhone App
My horror webcomic, Split Lip, has been on hiatus for most of 2009. There are a lot of reasons for this, few of them interesting. More interesting? That Split Lip is back as of this week, with the beginning of the first of seven all-new stories set to debut on the site throughout the next 9-12 months.
The first story, The Cousin of Death, is about the perils of insomnia and is drawn by Split Lip regular Gary Crutchley.
Also exciting, Split Lip is now available on the App Store for the iPhone and iPod touch. There are two apps:
- Issue 0 - which is a behind-the-scenes look at the process of creating pages from four Split Lip stories
- Issue 1 - an iPhone version of Ashes to Ashes, my story with Anthony Peruzzo.
More apps will follow later this summer. In the meantime, get over to Split Lip, read the new story, consider buying Split Lip vol. 1, and watch for the rest of the new stories.
The Week’s Twitter Updates for 2009-07-14
