I am alive

One year my last post was a year ago? Holy moley. Well I must admit that things have been busy and exciting. Anyhoo. As soon as i get some stuff done I'll try and update everything. Big news is that I'm working for DC Comics WOOO HOOO! Check out my first big work in Countdown to Mystery #'s 5,7, and 8! More to come soon I promise.

The Mole Men Cometh!

I got my first Fist of Justice story done for the back of Dynamo 5. Here is a sneek peek. This is my first time doing both pencils and inks. Hope everybody likes it. I'm pretty happy with the results. I need to thank Ryan Ottely for his inking tips. I emailed him and asked for pointers when I got bogged down and he speedly replied. Ryan's tips helped me speed up some and I'm sure that the rest will come with practice. look for the whole story in the back of Dyanmo 5 #4.

Comics Update!

Hey I know its been way too long sinse I've posted an update. But a lot has happened and I figured I would get my blogging at leat started for the year. I have quit my job of the past four and a half years to go out on my own as a freelance artist. My first full lenth comic is set to hit the stands in a couple of weeks and I'm really excited about it. Bloodrayne Tibetan Hieghts will be out in the first half of April. Written by Troy Wall and Pencilled by yours truely. I'm also really stoked to be working on Fists of Justice again. The pages I'm doing now are set to appear in the back of Image Comic's Dynamo 5 (Written by Jay Faerber and Penciled by Mahmud A. Asrar) so I will have some work published by Image WHOOT WHOOT! Anyhoo, I hope to keep the steam up I'll keep you posted.

FoJ is done.

Wow, it's been a long while but I just sent off this Fists of Justice Cover to Ed and Mike. All together I pencilled 32 pages of art for Fists. I will be posting some of my favorite bits of each book up here so keep checking back for updates.

Also things are going along well with my top secret pitch I'm working on with Noble Causes writer Jay Faerber. I'm only one page away from having the pencils done. Wish me luck.

Yes I am a lazy bastard.

Okay, I know it’s been way too long since my last post. I've been busy cranking on Fist of Justice for Digital Webbing Presents#29. Now that it’s complete I get to turn around and start on the 16 pages for Issue #30! I'm not complaining though. Overall it’s been the best time of my life. I've also received a lot of complements from industry professionals over the few tidbits that have been posted up on the FoJ blog. Hopefully I'll get more when the comic is actually out in May. In the meantime I’ll try and post more of my art.

Finished Draw-off Piece

Here is the finished entry. You can see that I used the layout for comp #1 but added a few of elements that I liked from comp #3. I'm sort of blah about the piece but I sure did learn a lot.

Thumbnails for Angeline 43 Draw-off.

I entered a Draw-off again for Digital Webbing's Forums. This time the draw off was for Angeline 43. I did four small thumbs in ink so I could start building some inking skills. I also inked the finished piece. I definately need some more practice, but it felt good to do it. Overall I'm not to happy with the finished image but I learned a ton and I expect that each comic peice will get better and better as I do more.

Carving Pumkins

Well it's almost November and I still haven't gotten this thing quite figured out yet, but I'm trying. I spent the most of this month doing some long overdue chores and playing with the kids. Tonight we carved pumkins. It was fun. The kids were afraid to put thier hands into the pumkins and take out the guts so dad had to show them how it was done. Of coarse I also waved the pumkin muck in thier face which got quite a rise out of them. Next year they'll be doing the same thing I did to them to Tasey and I'll be yelling at them to stop. Where do they learn such behavior?

As for my art goes I'm still trying to figure out what I can post and what I can't. I'll start posting all my old stuff because I figure that will be safe. Plus I'll try to get some exclusive stuff up also, thing I do for draw-offs and such so stay tuned..

It begins...

Blog... Sounds like something my dog threw up. However, regardless the stupid sounding name and the risk of looking like anther trend fallowing moron, the appeal of a personal website where I can post whatever without knowing anything about html in undeniable. So thus it begins...
