The Black Bastard vs the Malcolm X-men



The Black Bastard vs The Malcolm Xmen PT2

So yes, here is the six pager I did along with Aaron Broverman for the upcoming Black Bastard anthology. I've never worked with a writer before and it was a pleasure. Aaron's a class act! This was a fun project and a nice break from Jim and Jenn. I worked on full sized comic boards for the first time, I feel like it made a big difference.  Anyways, it was a blast, thanks to Matthew Mohammed for trusting us with his  creation. Keep on drawing kids!

The problem with appreciating Wolverine

The problem with having a wolverine appreciating month is that after that month is done, I still wanna appreciate. 
   I recently did a six page Black Bastard comic. It has a spoof of the Xmen in it, so Ive been drawing a knock off wolverine for a bit now. I guess it kind of inspired me to get going with the real deal. So heres some canucklehead action.
  Check back later this week. I will be putting those six  Black Bastard pages up prolly Thursday or Friday.

Into the dust fanart and TCAF roundup!


Hello blognation! So once upon a time I went to show called the paradise comic con. It was my first con and I met a fella who sat beside me named Jesse Rubenfeld, he does a comic called into the dust. Its a reimagining of the Wizard of Oz, its pretty toight. Anyways..we did a one sided pin up trade. My half of the deal never really surfaced..untill now ten months later!! Hope you likes and check out Jesse's site.. http://www.jesserubenfeld.net/
So TCAF has come and gone. It was a blast. Incredibly well run and insanely well attended. I would like to give a shout out to Chris Butcher for doing a hell of a job on putting together my fav show, the volenteers and all the people who came with big fat open wallets. Heres some pics,me at my table at the very end of the show, to my left, your right, super talented Salgood Sam http://www.salgoodsam.com/And then I met Rick Mercer at the end of the first day. Thats my buddy Mike to your right, my left.Noway Jose's almost cover. I hated it, so we went B&WThe glamorous world of assembling your own mini's. Pro tip, buy a long armed stapler. Oh the hijinks that ensued.

Noway Jose HD remix!! Cover image and sample.


Here is the cover image to Noway Jose HD Remix. This image rocking you in the face at 80 mph pretty much tells you all you need to know about this guy. He rides with the Raptors and gets chased around by Trex's. This is because he runs the show. I hopes you likes. This should have color on it as long as I dont blow the coloring..in which case it will stay B&W.The sweet back cover and front cover though isnt all you get in the new Noway Jose HD remix. You also get reinked interiors. Since October when I initially did this bad boy I've learned a trick or two. Heres an example of the changes your going to be seeing inside the book. If you wanna see more your going to have to come to TCAF and buy the mini. HAZAH!
More news! The Toronto Comics Arts Festival is this weekend! I want you to come and visit me. Heres all the info you need. http://www.torontocomics.com/tcaf/

Noway Jose back cover!!

man,
This drawing was a blast. THe idea of the drawing is that you learn a lot about Jose just from this pic. Like now we know he has hung out with robots in the past, encountered the Empire. Its all there. I love world builder pics. For a comic thin on dialouge like Noway, I hope it adds some layers and richness to his story
This drawing will be the back cover, prolly stay in b&w, maybe tonals, I will have the cover for you sometime before the big event!
Hopes you all likes, remember TCAF is just around the corner, be there! http://www.torontocomics.com/tcaf/index.html

    Destroyer!!

    I went into the comic shop and bought my first marvel title in months. It was Destroyer, by Robert Kirkman and Cory Walker. The premise of the book is that Destroyer's career has been on going since the forties and we're seeing him at the end of his days and how he wraps it all up. Its exciting for me to get Kirkman and Walker together again, the original team on my fav superhero book Invincible. More than that though the book is a super violent hoot, and beautifully executed. Even with the brain matter splattering the page every where it still retains the fun feel that Kirkman and Walker first showed us with Invincible, I recomend it!
    here is a 7 page preview http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=preview&id=2307&disp=table
    I went a lil over board with the ink splotches but it felt a lil bare before so what can you do!

    Draw pictures everyday kids!

    Wolverine Appreciation Month.



    I heard ya Tommy Guns. Heres my contribution.

    So as I've mentioned on here before, The uncanney X-Men was my comic growing up. I started during the Fall of the Mutants, round issue 220. My favorite X-man like every other snot nosed kid was the Old Canucklehead, Wolverine, Logan, Weapon mutha F#$king X.
    Anyways, when working on Jim and Jenn, I always start the day with little warmup doodles. This week I drew the colored wolverine on Monday, then my friend Tom on the ol Facebook called this month Wolverine appreciation month and I decided to follow his lead. So I did the bottom one yesterday and the sewer one today. I tell ya, that sewer one was not turning out. Theres a whole lower body under that water that looks like ass. Hence the sewer! Spooky setting for Wolverine? NO! Convienent way to cover up short comings in art! YES!
    Time for bad news. I failed at Jim and Jenn. Its going to be done for TCAF, sadly it wont be printed. Financial coupled with scheduling problems have led me to push it back. Fear not though. I will be having a release party for when I have it printed early summer and it will definitly be available at The Hobbystar con in August SPX in Sept and Excellent comic stores around Toronto. I'm Sorry to have to report this, no one is more disapointed than me. The bright side though is that Im now planning on having tonals in the book and I will get to rejig the begining a bit to jazz up the book even more. For the TCAF attendees, I will have a very special small print run of Noway Jose available with an exciting amazing cover. So hopefully that will help you forgive me untill Jim and Jenn's explosive release! Sexy..

    Hope you all like these drawings!
