Labor Days : Just Another Damn Contest!
Who wants hot, burning art? Who wants to look History square in the eye, spit at its feet, lock the hammer back and offer him an ultimatum...
...just to have your girlfriend aerate his body with speeding lead.
Yeah, so do I!
At NYC Comic Con the toiling Dukes of Labor Days tower
(which looks like this)
will be collecting entries for our art contest. To enter, just draw anything (and we mean anything) from the Labor Days world. It has to feature a character from the book caught up in his or her own antics. Color or black and white. Traditional. Digital. Your call. Then email a copy to us here to be in the ultimate contest running.
Email ricklacy @ gmail . com with the subject "Labor Days Contest"
Make sure your submission is in by Oct 7th before the convention weekend starts!
There will also be a day to day contest at NYC Comic Con! All you have to do is find us at the oni press booth, hand off your submission(this can be the same submission for the big prize) to either myself or Supreme Duke in Charge of Horror Phil Gelatt. At the end of each day, we'll pick a winner who will receive a signed copy the Labor Days sketchbook.
Once all entries are in, we'll chose an ultimate winner who will receive an original page from Labor Days Vol. 2, a signed copy of both volumes AND a spot for their pin-up in our next Labor Days project. There will be a 2nd and 3rd place winner who's submissions will also be featured in our next printed work.
Ready!? Goooooooooooooo!

People In Trouble.
EDIT: Due to specific circumstances, this endeavor is on hold. I will update when gears are spinning and the fires are hot. KEEP YOUR PANTS ON.
This one's for the dreamer who was told he shouldn't dream.
Starting on Monday, July 26th, 2010, I'll be releasing 3 pages a day in chronological order of the entire, READABLE two volumes that compromises Labor Days to date. Three pages a day until the entire saga is told, for everyone to enjoy who hasn't enjoyed it yet. This is your SDCC 2010 announcement. By the end, I'll hope you come by NYC Comic Con (or any con we attend) and say hi to us here at Labor Days Towers. We'll let you dream.

LD. Vol.2 Chapter 7 page review
I've been closing in on finishing up Labor Days Volume 2 with more than half the book in the can at this point. So I'll start posting more and more pages from the new book. Starting with this whollopers from chapter 7! I think this chapter was the most fun to illustrate. I'm also including the only splash page to be seen in the OGN's page history.
I also promise to finally post those character designs I've been dangling out there! Once I get my sketchbook and scanner in the same room.

Labor Days Volume 2: Just Another Damn Day
Cover colors for Volume 2 by the talented Kathryn DeFeo: http://ironoxide.d8d.org/
Kathryn really blew this cover away and we here at Labor Days Towers couldn't be happier. We initially decided on a day palette but Kathryn came back with this great night time rendering and we never looked back. Be sure to check her art work out and look for this rad cover on shelves this fall!

Wild Mustangs
The Wild Mustangs bear down upon the encampment. Their intent was cruel and without prejudice.

Volume 2 Cover Inks
The inks for the cover of Labor Days Volume 2 are done. This coming week I'll start to knock out the colors and then off to solicitation heaven to be kissed by the angels! For our second volume we really kick up the adventure level (and the absurdity level) and try to keep the readers guessing as to where we're headed next! I think the cover art really captures that sense of appalling excitement.
