Hey guys,I will be in attendance at SDCC. I have a table over in Artist Alley HH-20. Featured below is my new print; fantastical art by Dan Leister. Colors by yours truly. Hope to see you all there! ;)

Here is the official preview images from Marvel! Story by Jeff Parker and art by Sara Pichelli! This project was a dream come true since I have been in love with Sara's work since her back up story with Dazzler. Just breathtaking. I'm also finishing up a story for Girl Comics, also with Sara and I just received my first Iron Man book. I'm also continuing my run for Boom! Studios on Cars and

This week has been one crazy ride, to say the least. I started the week going to court and finishing up my case against DDP and ended the week with an offer from Marvel. I am working hard this weekend, catching up on all my current books, as to not stress myself out too much and give Marvel my absolute best. I cannot seem to find the words to describe my excitement. I have spent the last two

First off, I want to send out my many thanks to everyone for all their support and kind words. You all have been an inspiration and have given me courage to keep my head up. I am truly grateful to each comment, email and message I have received in the past month. I have been doing a lot of work recently for Boom and Bongo and they have kept me on my toes the last few weeks. However, C2E2 is in

In life it seems, we all have these moments where we are forced to grow, be strong and take on that obstacle which we may not feel ready to tackle yet. This week, I will have one of those moments. In three days, I am going down to the court of Illinois and filing suit against Devil's Due Publishing. I have been fairly quiet about it for several reasons. One being I am just scared out of my

Yeah, so Im a few days late to the party... It's been one heck of a year and one year since I made the switch to marketing myself as a colorist only. I haven't done all the totals yet but I already know 2009 has been the most successful year for me financially and its all been due to something I get more passionate about by the page. I absolutely love my job and I am so excited for what this

The past few weeks I have literally been sitting on a stack of inked sequential pages... all pages from artists whom I respect and well are just basically, the bees knees IMHO... Norten, Seeley, LaFuente and Igle. For the last two weeks I have been working on a few pages from PW's Hellcat Ish 4 by David LaFuente. It's been really hard.

Figured it was time to update this thing. I just finished my last con for the year, which brings my total to four. Not record breaking, but since my first con ever was last year, definitely an achievement for me. My list is already growing for next year and Im hoping my first con of next year will be the Emerald City con in March. After every con, no matter how crazy my life is, I have to

I just wanted to make a quick update on the up and coming cons I will be attending. Things are starting to get crazy and stress levels are rising so I figure I better post now before I never get around to it. :) First off SDCC in July. I will be at the Image booth; selling Mayhem! prints. I will also be attending Wizard World Chicago, two weeks later (that will be fun) with my OWN table. :)

I colored this drawing... What's so significant about it??? Well, it happens to be MY very first coloring job. The image above is, of course, a redux. Only because the original colorization, in a word, s u c k s. Lines by the incredibly, amazingly talented Eric Jimenez.

Yes I am! I took a little .. or long vacation back home.. in San Diego. It was a much welcomed break from the bitter cold I have been putting up with. However my career decided to take off during my little vacation... so I didn't get the tan I was hoping to get and I ended up spending 10 days of it feeling quite ill from trying to reconnect with friends and working.

Well, it is finally here.... NYCC is upon us! I have packed my bags and am ready to head out to the airport. As this only being my second con... I can already feel the nerves creeping up on me. However I am all kinds of excited because I know this con will change my career, as I know it, forever.

In anticipation of my most favorite tv show EVA, I drew up a little sketch today of Kate from LOST (Evangeline Lilly). I think she is absolutely.... GORGEOUS and has the ability to make crappy, grammy bras look HOTT! Kudos to her!! I'm not much of a tv fan in general... I think it's a complete waste of time. I would much rather be drawing, or coloring. That isn't too say I don't love movies,

I don't know what has been going on lately, but I have been a complete emotional wreck. I do tend to lean toward the moody side around my b-day, prob because getting older just sucks in general.. wish I could be a kid forEVER! Besides the birthday blues, there has been some extra drama that I am still trying to shake. This drama almost caused me to cancel my trip to New York for the NYCC and

This piece was an absolute B-L-A-S-T to color! First off it was done for my partner in artistic crime, Eric Jimenez (who actually pencilled and inked it as well).... and coloring for him is always a pleasure because he never stifles me with pressure or expectations. Secondly, if you didn't realize it's a spread and even though I have done very few of them, I could seriously die happy if all I

So after a gruesome week of collecting all my invoices, receipts, and getting myself ready for my first full year of paying taxes on my hard earned money... I decided to make a few changes. Looking over the money I brought in and giving myself a short "pat on the back", I looked around me and realized my studio was a total sham. I mean I didn't even have a book case!! All my books were piled in

As if I didnt have enough going on, I decided to take on the most insane drawing of my career, thus far. Seriously. Originally, I was asked to do a smudge-style painting, where basically you take the pencils and render it using the "smudge tool" in ps. However, since my poor little laptop was not capable of handling such a monstrosity of a file, I had to literally paint the whole drawing using

Many of you have asked, so here it is... my studio. It isn't much... kind of small. But, it is all mine. Every last inch. Actually it is temporary, until the basement gets finished off and then I will be moving down stairs.

Yea, so once I heard there was a Dark Knight inspired competition, you know I had to throw my hat in the ring. With all the coloring I have been doing of late, I have come to realize that my drawing has taken a serious back seat. I have always loved to draw and it happened by chance that I stumbled on to coloring. At Wizard World Chicago, I was asked by someone I hold in very high regard, what

Well for the last two months I have been working primarily as a colorist. One of the projects has been coloring a comic that will be published in Popgun Vol. II this July, called LumberJack. It has truly been quite the learning experience. I am now finishing up my prepping for the Comic con which is in four days!

Lately, I have been doing a lot of coloring work. It has become my new favorite thing to do. I mean I love to draw, without a doubt but there is something very satisfying about bringing someone else's drawing to a whole new life. i have acquired a table at the Wizard World in Chicago this year, where I have decided to also market my skills as a colorist.

Back in January I was seleted as one of the 80 artists to represent S.M.I.L.E.S in their "Horsin Around Town" project that will be displayed in Lake Geneva, WI. It is very similar to the "Cows on Parade" in Chicago.. just horses. The horse is a life-size fiberglass colt and he doesn't seem big in the pictures but seriously, he is as almost as tall as me.

I cannot believe it has been four months since my last posting. However, it has been due to the fact that I have been truly busy. ^.^ Busy with WORK! I can't say the I have received too much response from my postcard mailings, at least not enough to say I feel successful with it. I did realize that when I apply my art to projects that my style is right for I get the job everytime. With that

I’ve decided to write more about the journey I have been on. Almost a year ago, I decided that it was time to kick my butt into gear and start doing what I know I was born to do. Draw. At the time I was working at a credit union. Yeah, I know, of all places. However, I made some of the best friends that I have ever had, and part of me was happy. The other part I was trying to bury away, not
