Hey, blog buddies,
here's a comic page for all 3 of you!

Comic Art Con in Secaucus, NJ!

I'll have a table this Sunday at the Comic Art Con in the Crown Plaza from 10-4, located at 2 Harmon Plaza, Secaucus, NJ!! Go to www.comicartshowcase.com! I've got lots of art for sale from Cracked Magazine, DC's Cartoon Network books, Marvel Comics Rocko's Modern Life and Ren & Stimpy, Rugrats syndicated comic strips and more. Hope to see you there!!

"New" work in WWE Kids Magazine!

I'm in the June '09 issue of WWE Kids Magazine! I would've written sooner if I had remembered to contact my gracious design director and see when the job was printed. I used to do a lot of "ghosting" other styles when I was at Cracked, so it was fun to get the chance to try it again. I did all of them except for the "Goodnight, Kane" spoof.

older version dipstikk dog toy design

Here's a sketch I found from a while back of our ol' pal, Dipstikk Dog. I love what places like Kid Robot are doing these days with vinyl toys, so I fooled around with a toy design while still working on DD's actual design.

PopGun Volume 4

I just finished up a two page color strip for PopGun Volume 4. It's such a creative joy to do this work. They pretty much let me do anything. And I do! At work the artist does not have the last say in a creative project. Everyone has input and things they would like to have included in a piece of art. I realize that and accept it. It's part of the job. I don't own the company I work for. Fine, but every now and then you'll get a chance to do something that's completely all you, all yours. What a wonderful feeling! The PopGun books are great because it's being published by one of the bigger and better comic book companies and there are a lot of other fantastic artists and writers that are also involved.

Mini-comix allow you that opportunity as well. Doing something that you want to do, on a much smaller level.

So, anyway, here's the first panel of my comic. After it's published I'll post the whole thing. I've been told that it won't be out until December or January, but I'll bet that it's worth the wait!

2-17-09 sketchbook page

Here's a pretty dense page of stuff by a pretty dense cartoonist...

double the fun

For your viewing pleasure a double feature of eye candy! First up is Julia Fields' first official showing on my blog. She's an awesome artist and writer and when I saw this art I just had to post it! There's also a sketchbook page from me from Friday the thirteenth. Is it any wonder that guy's so uptite?!?
