2011-11-26T13:57:00.001+11:00

MONDAY IS STUPID

2011-11-15T15:25:00.004+11:00

Wow...

2011-11-13T03:43:00.005+11:00

Wow, it has been entirely way too long since I have last updated anything. I'm actually pretty embarrassed, but, for those of you who know me, know I am not one for the digital age... I prefer "Meat Space".

"Working a day job so I can continue to make art" is a redundant "excuse" but its totally true... Even though one can be exhausted at the end of the 8-12 hour work day with a 12 mile all around bike ride (and yes it is uphill, both ways) I am trying my damndest to get shit done. I've been working a lot, drove down to Austin, TX to play Chaos in Tejas, went to Milwaukee, WI and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, went camping in Maine's Baxter State Park and on a serious note, I have lost one of my best friends, Dylan Williams. This has been really difficult, as the passing of friends or family always is. But, in an attempt to move on and make Dylan proud, I'm ready to kick the shit out of my pant leg and onto the page.

I've been working on some lithography prints (of the image above ) with my partner Catherine Stack very recently in preparation for Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Fest which is in early December! I'll post some photos I've taken of the process when we finish the edition!

I'll also have back issues of Crooked Teeth available and hopefully some new comics with all these prints. I'm thinking either of doing CT#5 1/2 or CT#6, but I want issue 6 to be HEFTY and I lack the HEFT at the moment.. So for now I'll post some sketches, fliers and comics I've done in the meantime! Take it easy.

2011-04-18T12:06:00.001+10:00

A quick flier I did for a newish band I play drums in... If you're around the neighborhood stop by!!

SKETCHING

2011-04-02T09:49:00.006+11:00

Here are some more recent drawings from my sketchbook. Some inspired by the Japanese movie House. Radical.

ETCHING

2011-04-02T03:09:00.003+11:00

These are some etchings my partner Catherine Stack and I have been working on lately. I just finished a comic strip for Atomic Books' FCBD paper Mutant #3. When I get the o.k. I will post that soon! Sorry for the lack of updates, working full time, lots of band stuff and not enough time for sleep has made working on my art difficult!!

Sketchbook Update

2011-03-06T14:22:00.004+11:00

I know, I know... It's been a while. I got a new sketchbook. Here's some bangers... Enjoy. I'll post some new comics soon, I hope!

Maximum RocknRoll Comics Spotlight

2011-02-10T11:23:00.004+11:00

My friend Janelle Hessig did a very nice write up and small interview with me over at Maximum RockNRoll's website! She edited the comics issue and was bummed my comic from the previous post was cut... So Here is a link to that, please check it out!

SCUMFUCKS

2011-02-05T08:00:00.005+11:00

Here's a comic I submitted to Maximum Rock n Roll for their "Punk Comics Issue". It was rejected, I was bummed. Mostly because I spent a whole day touching shit up on the pages and on the computer... But, hey, people love seeing the same old shit instead of a nobody like yours truly, womp womp. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy it!

Check their stuff out! But on another note my band NOMOS is going on a tour of the West Coast! I'll be bringing comics and prints with me! If you live in any of these towns please come out!

BROOKLYN COMICS AND GRAPHICS FESTIVAL! NEW RELEASE!!

2010-11-30T13:54:00.006+11:00

Hey all, so I will be attending and tabling the Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival THIS Saturday December 4th! I will have a NEW sketchbook collection called "Filler", it's 11"x17" folded in half with some spot watercolor on the cover! Hopefully I will see you this weekend, I'll be at the Windy Corner table with Juliacks and Sakura Maru!

COMMISSIONS

2010-11-07T11:20:00.003+11:00

Hey all, I'm interested in taking on some commissioned pieces. All of them would be at 6"x9" and I'm asking $50 for all B&W work and $100 for color. You can ask for whatever you want; movie or record covers, some wacky scenario you are for some reason compelled to ask an artist to draw for you, your favorite character from what the fuck ever. Just email me all specs and I will get back to you with a deadline and ship it out! Thanks!

It's been a while, I know. Busy moving, playing shows, Small Press Expo, moving again, getting settled, inking, and working on a comic for Maximum RocknRoll's comics issue! Here's the title panel:

Anyways, my new address is in the side bar, my first apartment, EVER (after seven years of punk houses and lofts). Aaand this is my last address in New York City and also the East Coast... I plan on moving to the Pacific Northwest July 2011.

I promise the next update will have more drawings and shit to keep people interested. Again, Sorry it's been so long!

post 53

2010-08-16T02:12:00.003+10:00

Here's a comic I did for my friend Dave's zine Trainwreck (#8) it's a really rad zine, check it out! Also, I am moving at the end of the month from Bushwick to Bed Stuy... Yup.

POST 52

2010-08-04T08:37:00.003+10:00

Sorry for the lack of updates. I'm inking a graphic novel with the wonderful Nick Bertozzi and I have had very little time to work on comics, or Crooked Teeth. I will be attending SPX, but I haven't figured the tabling situation yet... Hopefully I will have a sketchbook zine out for everyone, I want to go oversized, so we'll see how that goes.

Work, tour and being broken hearted is slowing this page down, but it'll get back up to a steady pace soon enough, or so I hope.

2010-02-08T10:31:00.001+11:00

Here's page four from Part 3. I've been steadily plodding along with this and am pretty pleased with how this page came out, and things are getting smoother and tighter, so I'm stoked to be getting things done again.

And now a random sketchbook page:

"smile" and commissioned pieces

2010-01-24T04:03:00.000+11:00

This is a random short I've been working on, the last tier at the bottom will replace the second tier in the finished comic. I hate the drawings in the second tier with a burning passion.... The finished comic will be in Crooked Teeth #5 (due out in April).

Here are some commissioned pieces I did for Tom Neely

FINALLY

2010-01-21T13:09:00.001+11:00

ART.

So I have finally stepped into the 21st century. I own an IMac. Totally stoked, and will be uploading new comics, paintings and sketchbook entries within the week! Sorry for the delay, but going back into SVA to scan comics was one of the most uncomfortable things I had to do to update this thing... So in the meantime enjoy the dumb photobooth picture!

COMMISSIONED PIECES

2009-11-08T06:25:00.000+11:00

Hey All,
As of yesterday I am now amongst the ranks of the unemployed! And to prevent myself from going completely bankrupt I will do an illustration of whatever it may be, you're choice, for $100-$150 bucks each, depending on the request! If interested send me an email with a description of whatever it may be, and if you'd like a portrait of yourself please attach a photo for reference! THANKS SO MUCH! Also if you're interested in purchasing original art we can discuss that as well!

2009-10-16T04:19:00.000+11:00

I did a portrait of Mr. Pekar for his 70th birthday. There are 70+ illustrations by so many awesome artists! Laura Park, Dylan Horrocks, Jeffrey Brown... Here's the head I drew:

mega update

2009-10-01T04:53:00.000+10:00

so my computer managed to work for more than two minutes. here's a ton of shit, watercolor pages i'm working on, a bowl of flies poster sketch and two thumbnails of my super long story i am working on! enjoy and bear with me!

SPX 2009

2009-09-24T04:37:00.000+10:00

This Friday I will be at Atomic Books in Baltimore and then heading to Bethesda where I'll tabling at SPX with Julia Wertz and Jack Turnbull, amongst others! I'll have plenty of copies of the new printing of Crooked Teeth #4 (cover posted below) and a few of the Limited Edition screen printed covers as well. I may have some posters left and some originals for sale, that's to be determined! Of course back issues of Crooked Teeth (aside from #1) will be available as well as The Archer. See you there!

Second Printing!

2009-09-16T00:46:00.000+10:00

Here's the cover spread of the second printing. It'll be printed on cardstock, hopefully it'll look good when it gets printed and ready for SPX 09. I'm not sure how many more I'll do of this, so if you want it now's the time to let me know! There are still about 10 or so left of the screen printed cover, those will probably go at SPX! See you there! Maybe some sketchbook updates later this week if time allows!

flier...

2009-08-04T02:29:00.000+10:00

So this has been a slow month for comics and drawing, too much band stuff, and my room is like an oven. But here's a flier I drew that I think is pretty neat:

20 Questions

It's been a while

2009-04-21T02:39:00.000+10:00

No new sketchbook stuff, I've been cranking out some decent pages for CT#4, which is coming along nicely, pretty much on "schedule"...Anyways here's some page samples! Pencils and Inks!!!

This panel was a fun one to draw:

Back to drawing, some more sketchbook comics will be up by the end of the week, I hope...

Fuck Work, Draw!

2009-04-02T03:44:00.001+11:00

Here are some pencils from the second chapter of the so far untitled comic I'm serializing in crooked teeth (pt2 will appear in CT#4)

And some older and more recent diary comics that I finally got around to drawing, or finishing up. When I was in San Francisco I picked up some tone from Kinokuniya, I've only messed around a little bit with it, but I kinda like this drawing.

Airports are sad lonely places...

2009-03-27T02:12:00.000+11:00

Now that I'm back from my trip all my memories of this place aren't what I remembered...and certain places that maintained a loneliness to them before I left are now even more lonely to me, and places in the Bay Area now have a similar emotional attachmentl. But it is nice to be back in a familiar place I call home. Here are some drawings I did while I was away or somewhat recently. Crooked Teeth #4 will be out at MOCCA!

The larger page is something Austin and I did sometime...I don't remember, but I like the whole page a lot...

Bay Area Bound

2009-03-10T15:09:00.000+11:00

So I'm heading to the East Bay tomorrow for 10 days, so I won't have anything updated for a while. Probably not the worst news you've heard, so when I get back look forward to a lot of images, both drawn and taken...

and let the comics begin...

2009-02-14T18:07:00.000+11:00

So it's been a long time since I've penciled a page from thumbnails and last night I started and inked a whole page, and today I inked half of a second page and whatnot... I'm pretty stoked to be working on something other than diary comics or sketchbook stuff (especially since the quality of the sketchbook I have right now is shit city). Here's a panel from my untitled story:

And here's some sketchbook shit

(i dreamt i had a date with julie doucet)

I Saw You out now, son!

2009-02-13T14:31:00.000+11:00

After a year or so's passed since I finished a comic for it, the anthology "I Saw You"(edited by Julia Wertz) has come out and is available now in comic shops, book stores and the internet! There's also a blog here: http://missedconnectioncomics.blogspot.com/
Check it out! Forbidden Planet's sold out right now, but we'll get more soon...And there's a signing at Desert Island Comics (on metropolitan btw union and lorimer) February 20th!! Free booze and cookies, I'm back on the wagon, so it'll be cookies for me.
No really new drawings lately, but I have been reading some great comics that are new to me and I love! Surviving Saskatoon by David Collier is amongst them and is having a large influence on my drawing lately, Drop In by David Lapp and a bunch of Gipi (The Innocents and Notes for a War Story) and I'm back on another Hernandez brothers kick, so that's nothing bad...

finally...

2009-02-04T14:38:00.001+11:00

So, I finally have the internet and am almost settled in my new home. It's a loft space and stuff, here are some photos of my room:

(yes that's scott pilgrim 5 on my bed...busted)
And to make up for the lack of comics and drawings, here's some I was saving...

So, now that I have the internet and have for some reason been totally stoked on getting things done (I'm with Julia and blame January...), hopefully a lot more comics and sketchbook things will be put up on this at least twice a week! Take care

a well respected van

2008-11-18T11:11:00.000+11:00

So after being up since 7am and dealing with New York City's DMV and the insurance company I'm now in the final processes of registering and owning a van (split 7 ways... between two bands)! It was by far the most stressful thing I've dealt with in my life, in and out of the DMV five times, the original notary had the guy who was selling it and myself sign in the wrong spot and the identical insurance letter I presented to four people was not sufficient enough until the end of the day. FUCK!!!
And now, after taking the day off from work to deal with this, I'm far too exhausted to enjoy the fact that I came out in the end, victorious!! Anyways, here's some sketchbook bullshit to alleve tension:

Some Stuff

2008-11-14T08:24:00.000+11:00

So the good people at Atomic Books in Baltimore, MD have Crooked Teeth and The Archer for sale on their website, if you feel like ordering with a credit card or paypal or something!
ATOMIC BOOKS

And a very exciting review from Mr. Eric Reynolds of Fantagraphics books had this to say:
"CROOKED TEETH 2 & 3 and THE ARCHER by Nate Doyle. Nate Doyle was one of the most impressive discoveries at SPX for me. All three of these comics are very good, and The Archer is easily one of the best self-published comics I've read in 2008. Search him out."
Fantagraphics Blog

Lots of band stuff recently, so unfortunately the comics are coming slowly, I'll post more soon and if anyone would like to get directly in touch, feel free to email me welfare_nate(at)yahoo.com
Thanks

sketchbook sinkhole

2008-10-28T11:17:00.000+11:00

More weird hand things, hah, I dunno.
Things have been busy, two nights of playing drums and the WFMU record fair was yesterday, with such exciting purchases of two Sinkhole LPs and a Rice LP as well as an old Maximum RocknRoll compilation "They Don't Get Paid, They Don't Get Laid, But Boy Do They Work Hard" which has Nausea and then Screeching Weasel on it, hahah. I'm just going to put up some things I've been working on recently, like sketchbook stuff and starting the second chapter in the so far untitled story that's ongoing in Crooked Teeth...Yup! Lemme know what you think of this color shit, I might keep doing it, it's fun and pretty theraputic!

...

2008-10-26T08:49:00.000+11:00

Lately I've had a hard time getting myself motivated, and this comic sort of goes into that. As of now I'm going to try and draw more just to stay on top of myself and to hopefully improve. Using color has helped a lot, so there will be more color in comics, illustrations (and I guess that means posts) and whatnot to come. I will once again try and do a comic a day, or at least a drawing to put up here for whoever reads this to ignore or post comments about! Yeah, also I'm contributing to the Sparkplug Comic Books blog doing reviews of minicomics that they distribute or publish, check it out at http://www.sparkplugcomicbooks.com/sparkplugblog.html

SPX 2008

2008-10-03T22:38:00.000+10:00

Hey I'm one foot out the door ready to leave New York for Bethesda, MD, and since I have the minute, though I'd let whoever reads this know that CROOKED TEETH #3 IS OUT AS OF NOW!!! Send me an email if you'd like one or just ask me in person, I'm going to try and have five copies of it and issue two on me at all times...Let's see how that pans out!

Fucked Up Beautiful Day

2008-08-22T15:52:00.001+10:00

Today was one of those days where everyone and everything made me want to punch the world in the face, or kick it in half...
AND I forgot to buy new ink, GDit!

finally a new comic!

2008-08-21T16:09:00.000+10:00

i've decided i'm going to try and do a new comic every day, let's see how it goes...here's day one!

Back from the Wilderness

2008-08-04T01:58:00.000+10:00

Getting stuck on a mountain in a thunderstorm/cloud...You could feel the electricity and being soaked and the tallest thing in the area was not all that reassuring. So we huddled by some large rocks and got drenced all the more in Baxter State Park, 700 miles from the house I live in here in Brooklyn. Hopefully more work will be posted more frequently!!

MoCCA Report...? Uh, yeah

2008-06-12T04:20:00.000+10:00

So MoCCA went well, 73 copies of The Archer were sold/traded/given away so that was a pleasant surprise! Crooked Teeth#2 might get a cover overhaul since the first was so rushed and I'm not too psyched on it...So who knows!
This was the most inspiring comics event I think I've ever been too, I got so many great new minis that I can't wait to read and re-read. Now I want to start on a new story already for whenever....So I guess I'll post some sketch book stuff or whatever from now on, alright?

MoCCA and The Archer

2008-05-30T16:03:00.000+10:00

So I'm scrambling hard to finish the last two pages(out of 21) of The Archer and it's cover, which will be a two color screen print on cardstock, for MoCCA which is next weekend! Also I'm putting out a second issue of Crooked Teeth! This one will NOT be a throw away and will be reprinted after a run of 200 or so...Lots of work to do this week. Here's what the cover will roughly look like for The Archer...It's based on some medival drawings I found, I'm pretty pleased with it, so that's a plus! More news later!

GRINDER

2008-04-24T13:03:00.000+10:00

I'm trying to get an idea of how to use this thing to my advantage, as a website, contact and everything else, I guess I'll start by posting a page from my upcoming comic "The Archer" which is a story told in three parts and points of view for David Mazzuchelli's portfolio class. Check it out: Other than attempting to stay busy to avoid feeling totally exhausted emotionally I'm taking some steps to hopefully maintain a sane and healthy state of mind for whatever the fuck I'm going to do after school...
