Well, I finally did it, everybody! There’s still some editorial work to be done (and this project demands A LOT of it, but as of this week, I’ve finished up my upcoming graphic novel, Brush with Peril.
This project takes famous museum art and makes it characters and settings in a James Bond-style spy novel. For those who don’t know who Wayne Thiebaud is (from the quote above), I wrote about him and this project in THIS Blog entry.

But now, let’s get into this week’s list of FUN for YOU kind Patreon supporters!

This week I posted a TEN PAGE, full color (thanks to my best friend, Ricky Sprague) Doris Danger story from my upcoming More Doris Danger GIANT MONSTER Adventures! You can read it, beginning HERE! I posted so many pages, I didn’t have a chance to link our “first/previous/last links for all the characters/settings/story lines involved,” so I hope to get that up next!
Don’t forget, there are lots of other comics available to you, including stacks of Doris Danger comics that DO have all the “first/previous/last links for all the characters/settings/story lines,” over at ChrisWisniaArts.com/blog!

Creating the Brush with Peril graphic novel
Brush with Peril – Develop your own style: Don’t copy a little, copy LOTS!
Doris Danger (vol. 1, Chpt. 6), page 036 – Commentary Video: Chris Inks His Own Stories
Doris Danger (vol. 1, Chpt. 6), page 043 – Commentary Video: Alan Moore’s letters pages in 1963 (1993, Image Comics)
(NOTE: This one was filmed in haste and anxiety because it was a crowded location, and instead of saying everything I wanted, I blurted out what sounds to me now like a misogynist jab, so please read the accompanying text for context. I’ll post a more thorough explanation in a new video next time around! What suspense for YOU!)
Then I posted some videos in my studio, so you can see me tracing my comics!:

As usual, I am so appreciative in your faith in me, and support of me! I can’t say I couldn’t do it without you, because I am committed to creating my art, however it’s so satisfying to know that YOU are out there enjoying the results of my efforts and wanting to help me to succeed. For that, I can’t thank you enough.
Sincerely,
Chris
