What is this Oddjob business?
Oddjob is a document of the ongoing cases of Moe, Investigator of the Odd. Moe takes on cases
too bizarre for the police. The official "Hollywood" tagline: It's like Scooby Doo meets the X-files!
Who is Moe? Who is Moose? Who is Robin?
Check out the character bio section!
How long have you guys been doing this?
The continuing adventures of Moe have been in print for about 6 years, spanning 2 full
sized comic series totaling 12 issues, and countless guest appearances. Over the years Oddjob has been
optioned for movie rights, been on national television, and considered for development for an animated series.
This is drawn on the Computer?!?
The first 3 full sized issues were done with the traditional pen and ink, but after the
critically acclaimed 4th issue, the artwork has been done on a PC. Also with issue 4, Ian stopped turning in
his comic scripts scrawled with his own blood on tree bark, and switched to blue crayon and construction paper.
How do you draw on the Computer?!?
I'll let my brother explain that one... well that's a secret... ppbbtttt! Actually in short(I plan on
putting together a web deature on how I do it in full) I use Adobe Illustrator 8.0. I sketch out the pages from what Ian gives me
and then I layout the page. I havea library of my characters in certain poses, and a page full of hands and stuff like that, it's hard
to mix it up so it doesn't look stiff. From there I add the text (In the font I designed called ODDJOB, which I might put up for sale
down the road, we'll see) and then pull in characters, and draw it mainly useing the pen tool, that's right no wacom tablet for me!
Will you guys publish my/our stuff?
Sorry! We got out of the publishing biz long ago. DIY! There's nothing more punk
rock than printing your own book.
Why does anyone hang around Robin?
He won't go away. We've tried.
Is that all the questions?
Um, well... We're kinda strapped for time, more to come...
