PULP ODDITIES Logo Reveal

And Other Details About This Unusual Indie Comics Anthology

Hello everybody. I have finally finishes the logo for the PULP ODDITIES comic anthology. I think it captures the vibe. For those of you who haven’t been following me, PULP ODDITIES is an anthology that collects unusual tales in the genres of crime, horror and science fiction.

The process itself was pretty straightforward. I already had a solid idea of what I wanted, including the eyes dotting the I’s. Like with many of my projects, I worked out the rough details on some sketch paper. I find the analog act of using pencil and paper to be quite helpful before going digital.

Once I had my ideas sketched out, I used Affinity Designer to make my logo. The “PULP” Part is simply made using Trash Cinema and Crimewave, both courtesy of Blambot. For the “Oddities” part, I made that by hand. I’ve included a process video below if you’d like to see it. You’ll notice that I am using a couple of other drip-style horror fonts as references (Upchucked and Horror Show), but ultimately, the shapes of the letters, the drips and the eyeballs all come from me using vector tools.

So now this anthology has a bad ass title logo that matches its vibe. Cover art is in process for this from the great and might R.L. Black. But what’s going on with the inside of this wild anthology? All stories are curated, edited and colored by me. But I’ve partnered with some awesome indie creators from around the globe. Here are some of the stories you can expect:
