Warm-up Sketches

Loosening up with some warm-up sketches. Here's some potential Major Tom Jr. Baddies. I know, I know reptile aliens as bad guys is totes cliche' but they're a lot of fun to draw :)

3/5/12

• Voting by Facebook limited to one (Like) per badge.  Each vote for Facebook will open up a 'Like' Page for that badge. You can then use that to share with others.

• Voting can also be done on the website (CLICK HERE!).  You are allowed up to 5 votes PER DAY! In order to vote on the website, you will need to log in to the website using a username/password or Facebook.

• Contest ends Midnight on March 15, 2012.
There are a total of 12 badges that will have art work chosen for them.  Two (2) of those badges are vertical/portrait and 10 are horizontal/landscape.  If there are more winning badges than there are badge spots, Phoenix Comicon will choose the top of those winners. (ie.  2 vert badges are available, but the top 5 badges are vert only.)  This will not effect those who submitted both a vertical and horizontal of the same art piece (noted on the website).
Winners will be announced on April 2, 2012

You can find my 3 submissions for this year's Badge art contest here:

Phoenix Comicon -- Badge art contest 2012


Here's my badge art submissions for this year's Phoenix Comic-con. I'll post more when the contest starts, but for now here they are.

Stranger Danger -- Big Balds

We love Avengers -- T-shirt contest


We Love Fine Avengers contest starts soon. So I thought I'd throw my hat into the ring and submit this smashing design. I really think I had the hardest time getting the Hulk to look the way I wanted him to, but ultimately I'm really happy with the finished product.

Stranger Danger -- Fashion Forward

Coming Soon! -- The Konamis Ominous Omnibus Vol.2

So here it is, a sneak peek at the Konamis Ominous Omnibus vol.2 I'm in the throws of final editing. Collecting the 2nd year of the Konamis comic into one awesome book, prepare yourself for over 200 pages of rock and roll fisticuffs. We'll have this available at the Phoenix Comicon in May, so make sure to come check out Thunderskull Press.

The new end review

The year end wrap-up:
I had a pretty great 2011. This past year, more than any year to date, I really buckled down and produced. I continued to stick to my comic schedule, and only dropped the ball once. In addition to working on The Konamis 3 days a week, I recently started working on Stranger Danger once a week, and Major Tom Jr. occasionally. The Konamis published our first book, and showed it at comic con (where we almost sold out). I also got to meet Stan and Sharon Sakai, who were incredibly nice as I bumbled out an introduction.
The summer I spent largely on drawing and writing, really trying to hone my skills. I made it a goal to really push myself to have a consistent look, a world view, so when you looked at a comic it was recognizable as me, and the only way to do that was draw more. So I started working with some guys to develop apps and games for the iPod and iPad.
So here I am looking back at the last year, and all I can think is--Let's do it again. In 2012 I'm looking to reach past my limitations, continue to grow and develop as an artist, and continue to make stories. The Konamis vol.2 will be ready for this years comic-con. I will have the first chapter of (a project I'm not announcing yet) done. I'm looking forward to a great year, and I hope you'll join me. Until then, Happy New Year.

Stranger Danger - Food for thought

My very best Marlon Brando

A quick update on me (why not, it's my blog right?) I had oral Surgery this past Tuesday, and I hope that the long term benefits outweigh the current pain I'm in. Also, I was not prepared for how much I was going to miss solid foods. My jaw is sore and swollen, and I'm not sleeping well from a combination of pain and nightmares the medication seems to be giving me. The only thing right now that's been a distraction has been pushing forward with the comics and projects I'm doing for Christmas. Even that is more slow going than I'd like.

I'm tired.





(my cheeks are so puffy right now!)

Snow Blind


It's been a while since I just did a quick digital painting. Just playing around in Photoshop, using lots of blending options.

The new Adventures of Piggie and Elephant

My 4 year old son absolutely loves the Piggie and Elephant books by Mo Willems. The other night he started making up new stories for them, casting them in the roles of Green Gerald and bat pig, and the Pig and Elephitz Dalek. So, for Christmas I decided to make him some Fan art. I'll post the color pieces when they're done.
