The BG was thrown in there in PS. It is the best I could come up with in two minutes.

Don't worry ol blog. There are more drawings happening every day. I will be back with more updates soon I promise!

This was going to be Namor, then Richard Alpert. Now?

Hello! Yesterday was the Canzine! Sad news, I have no photos from the show. Good news, the show was fantastic. We {Noel Tauzon and I} were initially assigned a shitty table in the north room. Reaching into the Nth dimension and twisting reality just a little resulted in our being moved into the main hall beside Toronto comic royalty Erik Kim, Kean Soo and across from Indie darlings Vicki Nerino, Britt Wilson and visiting vagabond Phil McAndrew. The stage was set and a great show was had, by myself and Noel at least, hopefully for others as well.

Shouts out to all the beautiful people who stopped by and bought comics. You are indeed the most handsome of comic fans. Loyal blog visitor Anthony Tam, you the man.

Comic Jam contest from previous post update- I won!!! I get a cool illustrated Frankenstien book for the win. Its illustrated by comic horror veteran Bernie Wrightson. It is one of the definitive books that Frankenstiens monsters look is based on.

I have the next month off it looks like. Work has wrapped and we have short break until the next thing gets going. I will be using this time to work on my next mini, it is going to be called Fight Song. It will be a collection of two different fight comics I've started over the last two months. They are both ten pages in and will each prolly hit the twenty to thirty range. Watch for it! Thanks again for stopping by loyal bloggers, see you soon.

Axe man.

Hey dudes, this is a drawing I did for this contest with the Toronto Comic Jam. My graphic design skill really come to the fore when it comes to font stuff. Marvel over my incredible font skills. MARVEL!!!

Anyways, this was a lot of fun to do, still messing around w the cintiq. Hope you guys like it!

ALSO! Canzine is this sunday at the Great hall! Be there!

I did ten pages of a new comic I hope to have finished by the end of Nov. Look for some posts about that more towards that time. What else, we recently finished up Ugly Americans season 1. Its showing on Comedy, Sundays at 12. Watch for it! Coming up, we have Canzine this coming weekend. Sunday the 23rd, I will be there selling comics, its at The Great Hall, 1087 Queen St. West (West of Ossington). COme and say hi.

Hope you are all doing well out there on the internets.

Go Leafs go!

Draw yourself as a Street Fighter character?

So my good buddy JR is running this thing for the Station Gallery in Whitby called 40 Random acts of art. I guess he thinks up challenges for people, they do em, then they put em up in thier gallery. The above is the result of my challenge. I was looking at the Jim Rugg drawing the SF tribute book and thinking of maybe being clever with the challenge, but then I said F it. Its my week off. Leave the clever shit to the Educated elite. I'm going for the meat head MMA demographic.

The first season of Ugly Americans has wrapped. I am currently in the process of enjoying a week off work. I am drawing pictures and working on a short comic tentativily called Fight song. It is the dumbest book I've ever done. But I only have a week off and didn't have enough of my next big epic comic planned to start so this is what I work on. Also the reasons in the previous paragraph. Seriously, I watched showdown in Little Tokyo yesterday while working on this thing. Its almost as dumb as that movie.

P.S Dolph Lundgren for PM

Also Word on the Street is this weekend in Queens Park, come visit me and I will show you pages of Fight Song! Prepare to lose brain cells!

Fan Expo is this weekend dudes!

Dudes, Fanexpo is this weekend. I will be there with Julie of Promises Promises fame and a special guest appearance by Noel Tauzon on the Saturday I believe... I sadly will be missing a lot of the show due to moving and responsibilities and stuff. I will be there Friday evening 6pm to Close and all of Saturday though. If your only coming SUnday and are looking for me, I am super sorry. I will be at word on the street though, so another chance there eh!
Sorry I have been so lax on posting recently. You can expect more soon though as my current contract is coming to a close soon. I have been doing Story Boards for Season 1.5 of Ugly Americans and shit is real crazy busy. Its almost done though, and fans, it looks fantastic and is friggin hilarious. So watch out. THis season is such a winner.
Anyways, comics, conventions, moving. Life is wild. Keep on swinging by though, I will never let you down Blogger!

The Page 100 Project

Hey dudes. Jason Turner the man behind True loves put together this thing called the page 100 project. How it works is you grab the 100th page of a book you like, you then draw it up. Fun stuff!
I know you my dear blog readers prolly expected me to go with something super deep like Doestevsky or maybe something light like Tolstoy. Instead I've decided to go way off the beaten path and hit you with a little Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. I hope you all like it!
Be sure to check out the rest of the project over at Jason's blog. He is the man now dog.

Loras Tyrell, The knight of Flowers

Hey, I'm back with more Song of Ice and fire fanart! Its Loras Tyrell, the knight of flowers! I just started listening to the audiobooks of the series at work so I'm reinvigorated to do more of these. Loras doesnt play much of a role in the first book but its pretty fun seeing these characters first appearances and thinking on how they develop in future volumes. You pick up more and more each time through with this series. George RR Martin is pretty rad.
Speaking of pretty rad. Today Bryan Lee O'Malley completed Scott Pilgrim volume 6. Scott Pilgrim got me right back into comics in a big way about 6 years ago. It in many ways is to blame for me doing my own comics. I'm so excited to read the finale and see how it all turns out. Even moreso I'm excited to see where O'Malley goes next. Congrats Mal!

TCAF '10

Thanks to Ab for this photo!
You guys, TCAF was this weekend. It ended 4 and a half hours ago as of this writing. I finally am awake enough and regained the strength to leave my bed.

What a great weekend. A hell of a show as usual. Top notch guest list, super star volunteers, wicked nice guests and a generally well run show. I was in a new area called the Small Press Schooner. It was fun. I was a little out of place in the room but I did quite well and had a blast. Sold tons of books. The crowd was there to spend money, it was nice. Of course did my free sketching as usual and had a few unusual requests, a couple of which can be found above.

The swag, oh the swag. I bought and bought. As seen above, Jim Rugg- Rambo 3.5. Marc Ellerby-Chloe Noonan, Pirates learn a thing or two about pig boy- Britt Wilson, The Ruby- Jon Chad, Ted Bear in Bare Season-Vicki Nerino, Fractured Jaw- Noel Tauzon, Lose 1- Michael Deforge, Birch Control- Laura Kenins, Feral Pizza- Phil McAndrew, A slightly Fictional History of Popcorn- Jim Zubkavich, Wilson- Daniel Clowes, Acts of Violence- New reliable Press w Ed Brisson, Galaxion- Tara Tallan, True Loves- Jason Turner, Peters Muscles- Michael Deforge.

These so far are all rad.
