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

Tossed Aside

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 22:11:40 GMT

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.

My good friend Sam Hiti just updated his website and also debuted his new webcomic Death Day. I did the code for the site. Go check it out and let Sam know what you think of his new endeavor!

Drawing from Mini Megacon

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 01:16:56 GMT

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.

Dispatch from the woodshed

Fri, 14 Aug 2009 21:08:20 GMT

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.

7" Cover

Tue, 14 Apr 2009 21:49:10 GMT

My buddy Scott had me adapt an old illustration for his band's upcoming 7". His band is called The Tim Version, a reference to the Replacement's version of their song Can't Hardly Wait recorded for the album Tim, but released with different lyrics on the album Pleased to Meet Me. They are embarking on yet another Japanese tour, and to commemorate it, the Japanese label Snuffy Smiles is releasing a split 7" with TTV and a band called Gleam Garden.

University of Tampa

Thu, 26 Mar 2009 12:32:51 GMT

Last weekend my buddy Lou and I went to the University of Tampa for a drawing session. It was pretty great, UT has a cool campus, with a bunch of old buildings topped with minarets. Here's what I got done:

Commission

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 02:01:39 GMT

It wasn't my intention to be absent from the internets for two months, but things happen, I suppose. I've been busy keeping the wolves at bay. I've got lots in the works; a couple of short stories, a long story, and some other bits and nonsense. You'll be hearing from me again soon, I promise.
Here's a commission I did for an old friend:

I'm not going to bore you with my top 10 films/records/comics/books of last year; but suffice to say if yours doesn't include Night Marchers or Emanuel Guibert's Alan's War, well then your top 10 is wrong. Sorry boutcha.

Sketchbook

Did a little drawing in my sketchbook last night, some drawing from ads, some not.

Some brush pen, some micron pigma pen.

Drawn while flipping through my totally awesome Youngblood comics.

Vinoy Marina

Went drawing at the Vinoy Marina today. It was an awesome day in St. Pete. I love it when the weather in Florida gets liveable.

Reginald Crabapple's Big Day

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 22:12:49 GMT

This past weekend was 24 hour comic book day. I did a 24 hour comic called Reginald Crabapple's Big Day. I actually completed it in around 19 hours, which is good, because by that point I had no feeling in my fingers, pain in both elbows, and shooting pain from my right wrist to elbow. Anyways, it was a totally great experience.

Here's where you can find the comic

More from the ole sketchbook. Some stuff in brush pen, some stuff in ballpoint.

Drawing last night

Sun, 14 Sep 2008 13:58:17 GMT

I got a couple of drawings done at the Tampa Cartoonist Meeting this month. The joker might be scary and all, but for my money, Vulture is the coolest villain in hero comics. Mole Man is pretty cool, too.
