The Weekend Artist

Herein you will see the trials and tribulations of a Weekend Artist's multi-year quest to write, draw, and publish a graphic novel series. After 9 years of working [part-time on weekends] on Amberleigh Chronicles I needed a break. That break took the form of a light-hearted superheroine comic called Magniloquence the Superheroine.

This break from the Chronicles was supposed to be a 6 month hiatus, but it has turned into a full time distraction. To date, I've scripted over 220 panels, with more sitting in the back of my head. I am entering my fifth year on Magniloquence, year 14 in the sequence, but I am still learning my craft. Perhaps on this smaller and less ambitious venue, I can reach the final goals of publishing a webcomic and comic book.

The Artist Blog continues with a synopsis of my journey, for those who are interested in historical reading about a man who was too stubborn to fail.

Robert Stradley, The Weekend Artist


Woot, Woot. I have now achieved one of my Life Goals.

April 21, 2014. A blue banner day. After ten years and 3 months of work, I finally have a webcomic on-line. This life goal was set back in January 2004 -- to write and illustrate a story and get it on-line. Magniloquence the Superheroine is now on-line and running. Thank you to all the wonderful people who helped made it happen.

I especially want to thank my goodwife, Lee, who helped, prodded, and completely encouraged me ever onward during my deepest darkest times. My children, Heather and Leslie, Jr. who never doubted I could do it, and who picked me up every time I stumbled and asked for help. Walter Hickey and Sketch Magazine for the artistic encouragement -- "it all starts with and idea and a sketch." All of the Internet sites and artists who have been doing this job for years and who showed me that "yes, indeed, it could be done." -- Robert


Below you see me hard at work in my office. Yes, what you see is a real drafting table, where I draw with real pencils and real pens. Coloring, on the other hand, is definitely done by computer. I am WAY too slow with pigment media of any kind. And when I use pastel, the chalk gets EVERYWHERE! -- Robert

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Another Woot, Woot. I have achieved Another of my Goals.

Jan 30, 2017. Another bucket is now filled in my bucket list. I have completed a comic volume [4 complete issues 160+ pages] 116 storyline comics, 32 holiday comics, and 12 PPCC comics. . In spite of health, weather, and self-generated delays, I now have enough comics drawn to form a compendium to get printed. -- Robert
