Axis of Evil Comedy Tour Website

By Jim Fisher | April 12, 2008

Sadly, the Axis of Evil Comedy group has disbanded. With the group went the complete flash website, recently replaced by a stripped-down version linking to the individual comics’ sites. We have placed the original site on our server to allow you to see it as it was meant to be seen.

Animations are, by far, most fun collaboration we do. After we storyboard the general action and decide the overall style of the animation and its elements, Mich gets to play with the Wacom and draw the pieces Jim will bring to life with his magic Flash fingers. Animations are, moreso than any of the other professional work we do, a true collaboration and balance of our skills.

This piece wass a holiday animation introduction to the Gloji site. We used music created by the client and expanded upon their initial suggestions in keeping with the fun, whimsical mood. Mich drew the pieces by hand and gave them over to Jim, who imbued them with motion and personality by having the baby bottles jump and spin.

Cherie Bombe Covers - Little Albie’s Bad Day and Everything Burns

By Mich Fisher | October 16, 2007

Cherie Bombe cover - Little Albie’s Bad Day

Cherie Bombe cover - Everything Burns

Now that I’ve begun writing the Cherie Bombe web comic and storyboarding the action and visuals, the idea of creating printed covers (whether or not we release print versions of the story) has been impossible to resist. The medium of comic book covers is so freeing and allows for nuanced mood work, lighting effects, and iconic images. To create these, I utilized photos from our action shoots and let my creative side run amok over my Wacom tablet.

Glasgow Kiss at the Vortex Poster

By Mich Fisher | September 25, 2007

Graphic Design: Glasgow Kiss at the Vortex

One of mine and Jim’s favorite side projects in development is Cherie Bombe, a web comic about an aging super-spy who moonlights as the lead singer of glam punk band, Glasgow Kiss. This is a fictional concert poster created for the comic of a night of all-girl punk at Cherie’s favorite fictional club, Vortex. I drew the artwork and designed the imaginary band logos, using one of Chrissie Hynde’s rumored 1st choices for The Damned’s name as one of the groups.

Custom Book: All About Emily cover

Custom Book: All About Emily center

This is the cover and inside centerfold page of a custom coloring book I created, All About Emily. I drew line sketches using family photos to duplicate the look of a traditional coloring book and create a one-of-a-kind gift. I am currently working on a full-color picture book using the same method as the All About Emily cover.

This Art Deco frame was created as a screen frame for the Art and Illustration section of my main portfolio. Inside it is a cartoon drawing of an old family picture, which will eventually be part of a picture book I’m creating for the whole Mooney family.

Naked Patriotism: The Passion of Mel Gibson

Naked Ptriotism: The Passion of Mel Gibson

This is a comic strip originally created for the Plastic Hassle cooperative. We were discussing what Jesus would think about Mel Gibson’s production company marketing items such as Passion of the Christ Nails and this is the result of my vision of Jesus’ imaginary visit to Mel.

Smirky the GOP Clown: #3 Smirky Has a Guest

By Mich Fisher | January 29, 2006

Smirky the GOP Clown: #3 Smirky Has a Guest

Naked Patriotism, my comic strip series on the original Plastic Hassle site, had a spin-off strip, Smirky the GOP Clown. It, of course, reflected my progressive political leanings and sarcastic attitude. In this episode, Donald Rumsfeld (also known as Mr. Diplomacy) pays a visit to crow over the victory in Iraq and gets a nasty surprise as a result of his lack of tact.
