Hey, guys. New comics are coming soon, I swear. In the mean time I thought I’d show you this awesome piece of fanart I just got from Shane Kirshenblatt. Shane is a freelance illustrator, teaching artist, and the author of the graphic  novel series Dorothy Gale: Journey to Oz. Shane was my art teacher from the time I was twelve to fifteen. He taught me a lot of what I knew about drawing before I started Lemon Inc. and has continued to support my endeavors. One of the ways that he has done so is by drawing me this pinup. I really appreciate the attention to detail that he put into it. If you look closely you’ll notice that even the sun, the clouds, and the hills, are shaped like lemons.

Derek Character Design and a Jam Comic

December 20th, 2010 | by Tim Lai
Posted In: Blog

Hey Guys! I did another character design!

This one is for Derek. He’s Asian! He does not represent me in any way though. I’m only 50% asian. Derek will be in charge of product development for Lemon Inc. Unlike Andy and Jeff, Derek actually knows how to make lemonade. However, his lemonade tastes awful because he is easily bored and is always trying and failing to create innovative lemonade recipies. Derek doesn’t just want to make lemonade. He wants to change lemonade. He’ll probably show up in the storyline after the one with Rachel and Becky.

On a side note, I’ve wanted to try doing some jam comics for a while but until recently I haven’t had someone to do them with. If you aren’t familiar with them, jam comics are comics where someone draws a random panel and then another person has to come up with the next panel. The other day Sean McLean of Underwhelmed happened to ask me if I’d be interested in doing a jam comic so we did a quick one. It was fun! You can tell which panels are mine because they look terrible for some reason. It’s been a while since I drew anything digitally. Click on the first panel to read the rest of the comic on Sean’s site.

Rachel and Becky Character Designs

December 16th, 2010 | by Tim Lai
Posted In: Blog

Wow, I haven’t updated this blog since October… What the heck happened in November? Anyway I’m introducing two new characters in the next storyline so I took the time to do some proper character designs for them instead of basing their designs off of loose sketches like I usually do.

The first design is for Rachel. She will become Andy’s nemesis and the president of Sunshine Lemonade Co, the competitor to Lemon Inc. A staunch feminist and objectivist, Rachel’s heroes include Susan B. Anthony, Lucy Burns, and Ayn Rand. She’s basically going to be like a smarter female version of Andy.

The next design is for Becky. She is going to be Rachel’s “friend” and an employee of Sunshine Lemonade Co. Don’t be fooled by her cute and innocent appearance though. Becky uses her charming and persuasive wiles to trick and manipulate everyone around her.

I’m really excited about this upcoming storyline. These are the first girl characters that I’ve introduced that are not Alison. Actually these are the first major characters I’ve introduced since Tommy… Unless you would consider Gerald a major character.

-Tim

    Vampire Tommy Pumpkin

    Last Halloween I  carved “Jeff as Frankenstein” into a pumpkin. This Halloween I decided to carve Tommy as a vampire. Here’s the result…

    Originally I was going to try to do something that looked a bit more along the lines of this…

    …but I decided that it would be a bit too challenging.

    Happy Halloween everybody!

    Webcomics: What’s Cooking?

    October 29th, 2010 | by Tim Lai
    Posted In: Blog

    Do you like WEBCOMICS? I thought so. Do you like COOKING? You do? How about SUPPORTING FOOD BANKS? No way! Well have I got a book for you.

    Webcomics: What’s Cooking? is a cookbook and a comics anthology organized by Kurt Sasso of TGT Webcomics and Byron Wilkins of 1977 that features recipes alongside comics about cooking by over a dozen webcomic authors. Contributers include Brian Anderson of Dog Eat Doug, Sean McLean of Underwhelmed, and Paul Westover and Ben Carter of Woody After Hours. For a full list of contributers go here. Despite the fact that I am not on the list I believe that I am also a contributer of sorts. I am on this list of contributers! This would mark the first time that a Lemon Inc. comic has ever been published in print!

    But wait! There’s more! I know what you’re thinking: what’s better than a book that is both a cookbook and a comics anthology, Tim? Not much. But in this case it’s a book that is both a cookbook and a comics anthology which donates all of its proceeds to Food Banks of Canada and Feeding America.

    Pre-orders for the book have started today. So what are you waiting for? Go pre-order this cookbook comics anthology and help out the food banks at the same time.
