Onward to 2009

Happy 2009 everybody. I hope that We'll be able to get our official site up this year.
I'm currently trying to prepare for my comic and buff up on my knowledge of HTML and CSS. I want to thank everyone who visits our blog or follows us on Twitter and wish you all the best in the coming year.

The Official Holiday 2008 Post!

Have a merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, happy Kwanza, happy holidays, and happy New Year from Lai Guys Comics. There was supposed to be a cartoon Kung Fu Santa beside this but I left it to the last minute and that didn't happen. Maybe later.

Painted Spiria Pin-up

Hi, this is Chris. I'm sorry I haven't posted in a long time, for those who might be wondering, I am alive. I realize that we have talked about my Spiria project, but I've never posted any art for it. So here it goes, the first Spiria related piece of art work.

It shows the four main characters from Spiria in the center, with the gentle glowing moon on their right, and the harsh, noon-day sun on their left. The main villain of the story looms menacingly over them. An army spills out of the gates of a fortified city, and a delicate blossom blooms from the tangle of vines that frames the whole thing.

An art teacher of mine gave me a lot of tips and pointers while I painted this, so a big thanks goes out to him. Thanks!

Hope everyone is enjoying these posts! If you see anything you like (or don't like), please leave a comment and let us know about it!

Blog Redesign

If you've been to our blog before then you'll probably notice some changes in the design. I recently redesigned it to make it resemble the design of the official website that I'm developing for us. We also changed our domain name. We can now be found at www.laiguyscomics.com. However laiguyscomics.blogspot.com will still redirect you here. We're also trying out a new commenting system called Intense Debate. To comment on a blog post just click on the title of the post. To comment you have to either have an Intense Debate account or an open ID (Bogger, Wordpress, Google, or Yahoo! accounts can be used as open IDs). I also redesigned the Lemon Inc. Blog. Go check it out. I hope you like the changes and I would apprieciate any feedback you may have.

Thanks for reading; I hope you'll return.

Lemon Inc. Sample Strips

I recently posted some sample strips for Lemon Inc. on the Lemon Inc. blog and I thought I'd post them here too. Right now the Lemon Inc. blog is our most active blog so remember to check up on it.

A Lai Guys Comics Halloween!

Happy Halloween from Lai Guys Comics! We realize we're a little late with this post since it's the day after but I thought I'd post the pumpkin that I carved in the likeness of Andy from Lemon Inc.:

Here are some more pumpkins we carved:

Hoping everyone had a fun and safe Halloween,

Lai Guys Comics on Vimeo

Hello. I thought I'd post this video we posted on Vimeo.

Preview of the OFFICIAL Lai Guys Comics Website

Hello everybody. Just to clarify, this is NOT the Lai Guys Comics website. This is just our blog. For the last few months I have been developing our OFFICIAL website. There's still a lot of work to be done but the layout and design of the website are all basically finished so I thought I'd give you a preview of what it will look like:

The big black rectangle under the navigation buttons is going to be a flash application. The gray square under the flash app with the text in it is our Twitter feed.

Here you'll be able to view descriptions of all of our comics, check their ratings with our self-imposed ratings system, and click on the "visit" button to view each comic's own separate website where you can read it.
