UNLOCKING THE MYSTERIES OF THE SWAMP...

"Sweet sketch of Swamp thing, and package art, from my friend Bobby Nash, he does great work, writing, art, he is really good!" 

Another satisfied customer. Thanks for the kind words, Nathan Hamilton. I'm glad you like it.

Just a reminder to all that I take commission requests. Check out the Art/Sketches/Commissions tab above for more details or PM me though social media. The envelop art is a bonus and there's only one way to get it. You can order a commission or any of my books direct from me through this site. I can accept Paypal or credit cards. I also have the Big Box O' Books promotion and I also do art commissions. Just let me know

what interests you and I'll get you a price.

Commissions are $20 + $4 shipping and handling (the Post Office raised the rates as of the last commission I sent out. Commissions will be much like the ones pasted above. They are drawn on a thick 6 3/4" x 10 1/2" board and shipped flat. Contact me through email (bobby@bobbynash.com) or social media to set up your own commissioned piece.

As always, thanks for your support.

BIRTH (AND DEATH) OF THE MONSTER PART 1

Over on his blog, artist Jeff Austin shares another blast from the past, and sadly, another project that never quite got off the ground. Ladies and gentlemen, meet... The Quagg!

From Jeff’s blog:
In the late 90's, Bobby and I decided to create our very own swamp creature. Everybody should have their own swamp creature, don't you think? So Bobby wrote some stories up, and I....thumbnailed the first one....and then.....the pile of unrealized dreams got a little higher. Sigh...Anyway, here are the first five pages of layouts for...the QUAGG!

Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Jeff.

The Quagg was a fun concept. There was obviously some Swamp Thing/Man-Thing influences in there, but I thought the story was pretty good. I wrote 4 stories at 10 pages each because we, if I recall correctly, we’re planning to use this for an anthology, much like Little Lamb and Black Sheep. In fact, they may have been for the same anthology idea. The memory is a bit fuzzy on that.

I’m also posting the script below. According to the script, this was written in 1999. In those days I did not write full script. I wrote the panel breakdowns and then the script after seeing the art. I’ve merged the two for this blog post.

I hope you enjoy The Quagg.
