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!

I've been saying I was going to do it for a while, and I finally got around to it...updating my site.  I felt like the old one was getting a little cluttered, and I like something a bit more simple.  

In the process, I switched site developers as well.  I liked Homestead, don't get me wrong, but they were pretty expensive.  They have some great site development tools, but are geared more toward an eCommerce site.  I'm really just here to show of my stuff.  So, Weebly, here I am.  

I'd like to say that I'll keep this blog updated, and I will certainly do my best.  I have a lot of new and exciting things going on that I am very very happy to be a part of.  I'm diversifying my portfolio and finally getting into what I initially went to school for...comics.  That doesn't mean I'm going to stop what I'm doing now, it's just another exciting direction for me.  Stay tuned for new announcements.  

Cheerios!
