The guys from Robot 13 asked me to do a pinup for them; here it is. I tried something new with the drybrush overlay.

Here's the first three pages of a short story I started at the beginning of the year, and subsequently abandoned when I got busy with other things. I'm not sure if I'm going to come back to it. If I do, it likely won't look anything like what's in these pages.

Mini Megacon last weekend was pretty fun. My con-neighbor and pal Joel Carroll collaborated on this sketch that went to a mutual friend who shares my appreciation of all things Rob Liefeld. Joel did rough pencils and I tightened it up in ink. I should probably mention that Joel did this drawing simply to get me to stop asking him to draw Shatterstar.

Current Music: The Hives - Barely Legal

I've been silent here on the LJ/Blog, for good reason. I've been in the woodshed working on my craft. Well, that, and also re-working my site, a friend's site, my day job's website, working on a pitch with a becoming better-known comics writer, and working on a short story. That's no excuse, though. It's frustrating to have so many projects that are in various stages of completion, when all I want is one or two COMPLETED.

Anyhow, I do have some stuff I can share. Good buddy Mike Maihack commissioned me to do a Galactus commission. While screwing around, I came up with something that I didn't like as a commission, but I thought the composition and idea were kinda cool, so I finished it. Enjoy.



- I've got tons of stuff in the hopper, hopefully I can get some of it finished and put up for your perusal, or more likely, disinterest.
