SDCC 2010

I'm superthrilled to be going to San Diego Comic-Con 2010 this year with Frozen Beach Studios.
Our location # is 2107- So please do come by and say hi! We've got a ton of books and swag. I have a limited run of prints for the Brand new Metal Locus pin up shown above, as well as T shirts, sketchbooks, and assorted prints and other goods. We've got a lot of exciting announcements planned for SDCC 2010 as well- movies, tv shows, new books, and more!!! I'm so excited I might pee myself.

felt like drawing death tightropin it... at least i found a use for those lame leaf brushes in photoshop. not all of those leaves are ps brushes...don't know how i feel about the leaves. i may revisit this one later.

so... it's been a while since I updated my blog.
I've been through two close friends passing away, and a car accident recently. It took me a little time to get back into the swing of things... I had a hard time drawing for a few weeks because of minor injuries. I was also superbummed. I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has been supportive during the last month or so, and I can't wait to get back working steady again.

On to more positive matters.

Just got back from Supercon in Miami. I had a wonderful time. I was in attendance at both the What the Flux Booth and the Frozen Beach studios Booth. I got the hang out with Jeramy Hobs(wtfc), Larry Jarrell(wtfc), and Stephan Nilson (FBS) for most of the weekend. These guys are all super talented and just overall great people, you know that Queen song "keep good company"? thats what we do.

I finally met Aris, from millarworld's boards. I used to post there pretty regularly, and he has always been supportive and a good honest source for critique, so meeting him in person was awesome.

Got a copy of Assassin's Guild #4
- Written by Randy Taylor, pencils by Dustin Weaver & Larry Jarrell, inks by Joe Fauvel & Zach Basset. The guys needed a quick lettering job- so I turned those around for them. I also printed up some shirts for their long awaited finale.

Just finished a 5 pager for an anthology. Some Action Figure designs for Frozen Beach Studios,
as well as a 3 page story for their title " Metal Locus".

Printed Extinction shirts printed up for the release of the "Extinction" TPB - written by Stephan Nilson art by Kyle Stokes- who by the way is an ultra chill dude and fun to hang out with.

I attended a few portfolio reviews as well. One of which was a personal victory was
finally getting a favorable and positive review as well as follow up info from a company that pretty much told me to get bent a few years ago. Bo Hampton did a group review as well during the con, which I attended, he was incredibly insightful, and it was great to see what everyone else has brewing up in their portfolios, I predict great things coming out of florida very soon.

I ran into Bo later at the hotel bar and he introduced me to a few people, it was a great evening listening to the pros share stories from their careers. I also ran into Derek Donovan, he was supercool and a blast to hang out with.

So yeah! A lot of bad stuff, followed up with a great weekend. I'll be heading off to SDCC in a few weeks with Frozen Beach Studios, let's hope the good energy is still flowing

Some more crops from the upcoming "hollows point" anthology. I generally try not to break panel borders, but every once in a while I'll make an exception.

yours truly is having a surprisingly irritating day- thought I'd post some art to see if that helps...

at least all my limbs are organic... see, there is a bright side. aargh to the 10thdegree.

Above you will find some concept sketches. While working on other projects, I've been cooking up this book for a some time - tentatively titled "The End" - If you've been following my blog, you might have seen some early sketches and doodles which have, at this point, taken on a life of their own in my head. I'm pretty horrible with words, but I'd say if the wizard of oz, silent hill, budhism, lost, and string theory had a baby, this book would be it. I have been joined by a number of friends and creators to help make sense of the tapestry of ideas, images and themes I would like to see in this book . We've been tossing plot ideas, sketches, and different sources of inspiration around these last few months. Everyone has other projects on their plate, so this book will probably be a long time in the works, but so far, I am very excited about the progress we have made thus far. I love drawing, but this part of the comics process, the part where new ideas are born and tossed back and forth, and evolve - is probably my favorite part. It reminds me of playing music - or a great conversation.
