Cleo Process

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010 by Mike Maihack

Hi all. I thought I’d share some of the process that went into this week’s Cleopatra in Space. I don’t have the time for a detailed tutorial, but hopefully this visual step-by step is still kinda interesting. You can go HERE for a more in-depth process (well, before I starting coloring this thing). Also, you might enjoy this process vid I made of this page (flash required).

SD7 draws Cleopatra in Spaaace!

Friday, August 6th, 2010 by Mike Maihack

The first print collection of Cleopatra in Space came out last week and as a special bonus to readers, my fellow Spacedock 7 crewmates each [graciously] drew a pinup for the book. I thought it’d be fun to share them all here for you, presented together for the first time (besides in the book of course).

Grant Gould:

Katie Cook:


Joel Carroll:


Dani Jones:


Eddie Pittman:

Unfortunately Otis Frampton was unable to draw a pin-up since he was driving cross-country at the time. But don’t worry, I’ll get him next time!

You can purchase  a copy of Cleopatra in Spaaace! in the Cow Shell Graphics Store.

SD7 at SDCC

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010 by Mike Maihack

Both Katie Cook and Mike Maihack will be at San Diego Comic-Con this week, and you’ll be able to find them on opposite ends of the imperial cruiser sized convention hall floor.

Katie will be in  in ARTISTS’ ALLEY, table GG-02. DETAILS HERE.

Mike will be in SMALL PRESS, table N-05. DETAILS HERE.

Here are some maps!



Cleopatra in Space’s first printed collection will debut at the show, featuring pin-ups from five of the  SD7 crew. Katie will have a brand new mini-comic featuring her cat and some naughty language.

Cleo and Gronk are loved.

Comics Should Be Good columnist, Kelly Thompson, recently listed 10 webcomics she loves and that list included Spacedock’s own Gronk and Cleopatra in Space! The remaining eight are a pretty amazing and renowned bunch so it’s quite flattering to be mentioned along side them. You can read the full article HERE.

Congrats Katie! (and me too I guess, but that feels weird since I’m the one writing this post)

SD7 will be at HeroesCon

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010 by Mike Maihack

Well, four of us will be at least. Joel Carroll, Grant Gould, Otis Frampton and Mike Maihack will all have individual tables spread out around the con. To make it easier to find us, here’s a spiffy map:

Mike and Otis have also donated art to Heroes’ annual art auction, which helps fund the show and maintain its awesomeness.

Otis’ Indiana Jones auction piece:

Mike’s Cleopatra in Space auction piece:

Limited ed prints of the above Cleo art will also be available at Mike’s table.

We are super excited about this weekend and hope to see a lot of you there! HeroesCon is June 4-6, Charlotte Convention Center.
