I've recently contributed a 10-page story to Flight 5, which will be published July 22nd. As the publish date draws closer I'll post more stuff from it. Above are a couple of shots of me hard at work, outlining the helmonautical adventures of Myles Preston Thackerly III...I'm inking on a series of horizontal cards with a few panels per card - sort of in Euro fashion (I've heard some European stuff is done like this?) I wanted to work very large so the detail didn't get all fiddly and I could let the inking flow more loosely, but drawing the whole page at once at a large size made the original art somewhat cumbersome. So this was the compromise, to draw the art in pieces and put it back together again in the computer...
