Whats up folks.  Got a few things happen over the past few months that you may not have heard yet.    Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to be a comic book artist.  I intentionally squashed those dreams when I went to college, I decided it would be best if I broadened my knowledge base and learn as much about art as I could.  

I was at Phoenix Comic Con this past May and was introduced to a number of great people and from those meetings, you will be able to pick up my first professional COMIC BOOK work.  Spazdog Comics asked me to do a cover to their tribute book to the Smiths; it will be debuting at the Tucson Comic Con this November.  Spazdog is a regionally distributed company, but I will have copies of the book to ship.  Additionally, I will have some work coming from Moonstone Comics later this year.   One project I can share now, the other I have to wait a little bit longer to release.  The first is a book written by the man of a million ideas, Eric Esquivel called Thor: The Unkillable Thunder Christ.  It came about from a blog post he made describing his take on Thor.  I dug it.  The description was visceral, rough, very un-Marvel-like.  I got right on drawing my version of that description, and he and his editor loved it.  From there I was asked for a pinup and potential variant cover.  You can see the fruits of that labor in the Comic Work section.  


As is often the case, one thing leads to another and I was contacted to do a potential cover for one of Moonstone's most popular books.  It was approved after a few minor changes about a week ago, and I will post up the cover as soon as I have word I can do so, shortly after SDCC.  I'm busting at the seems with excitement.

There are other projects in the works with these and a few other companies as well.  I'm excited where this new route is going, and happy to be back  doing illustration and now....comics.  

Here's to the future!
