Sassy Mavericks!

New Cover to Sassy Mavericks! This is printed as a silkscreen, two layers. The interiors also have been tweaked. This is the ultimate version of this book and the one that will be kept in print from now on. I am very happy to have this version out. Space Cops featured a bunch of problems that I am really happy I was able to iron out. Also did some tweaks to Don River. I am quite pleased with how it has all turned out!

September, where did you go?

Man, almost missed my Sept. update. Sorry guys. As you can see, I am still drawing. Since I last checked in there has been Fanexpo and Word on the Street. They were both awesome shows. Thanks to all who stopped by! I sold out of the first printing of Sassy Mavericks and the umpteenth printing of Don River. There are plans for a revised cover for the next printing of Sassy Mavericks and a silk screened cover for Fight Song. Here have some drawings!

Fan Expo

Hey Dudes, FanExpo is just around the corner. In fact it starts on Thursday which is literally two sleeps away if you are on a standard sleep sched. I will be at table A167 alongside the Invincible Phil McClorey. We bot got a couple new things that will be coming out. The above image is a cover to a mini that is a sampler for an anthology that I believe will be coming out at some point. That is very confusing. What it is for sure though is awesome. The mini is called Action Adventure Comics. It contains that blistering cover above which I did, a seven page comic by myself and self friend Phil McClorey (that you can see the first page process of in the post below) and a 10 or 12 page comic by Marvin Law and the industrious Phil McClorey. So that will be available. Additionally this convention will mark the official release of Horror in the West! This excellent anthology contains a seven or eight page comic by myself and spider monkey advocate AG Pasquella along with many other awesome stories sure to chill and terrify. Other than those two awesome books I will also have my usual array of excellent minis including Sassy Mavericks, Fight Song, Don River and Lucy Legacy so be sure to swing by and pick em up!

Astro Jaq Process

This is an example of my process. The page featured here is the first from from a short story I have that will be coming out at FanExpo written by the indomitable Friendly Phil McClorey. It is not the only thing debuting as I will also have a short story in the Horror in the West anthology that is being published by Alterna Press. Anyhow, lots of new stuff this year at Fan Expo and all the older stuff as well. Swing on by!

The future is now!

Hi everybody! Well that terrible thing that I always knew would eventually happen, well, it happened. I have run out of comics to put up on my website. That is not to say I don't have more comics in the can, because I do, but I have developed a personal rule that prevents it. This personal rule states that anything I put up online I have already put into print. So with that in mind I am at loggerheads as to what to do with my website. It has been clear to me since the beginning that my website sucks. There are many design problems and it is not easily navigable. These are things I plan on fixing. While doing this I want to continue to put up new content. Seeing as the next thing I have that will be released in print is not until FanExpo, I need to come up with something to fill in that time. I have developed a new idea that I am excited to get going on. It will update once a week to start, hopefully I can build a buffer and make the updates more regular. This comic is designed for the web first so I am thinking it will be a bit different from my other books. Anyhow, I guess I shouldn't talk to much before I know exactly what it will look like. I am planning on having the first page up within two weeks. I will announce more here before then! Stick around true believers. I got more comics in me yet. Above are some sketches. One of the pages is of a character I helped create alongside Friendly Phil McClorey. The other page is just random doodles. I hope you guys like em! Talk soon!

Coupla Drawrings.

HEYO! Hope you're all still reading Sassy Mavericks over at my website! It is awesome!

GODZILLA!

Hey guys, Did up a huge Godzilla piece recently. This bad boy is a whopping 22X30! Myself and my pal AG Pasquella have a short story called Brother's Keeper in a forthcoming book called Horror in the West. We are currently doing an indiegogo campaign to raise funds for the book to be published. All contributions $15 dollars or more will get you the book and from there you can contribute even more to hook yourselves up with some really unique stuff! For example at the $60 level you can get a 9X12 inked commission of anything your heart desires by yours truly! Sounds awesome right? Guess what? IT IS! So go on over to the Horror in the West site and pitch in! Lastly my new book Sassy Mavericks: A Space Cops Story is currently going up over at brianevinou.com right now! Go check it out, it is HIGHlarious.

TCAF

Guys, for serious. TCAF was awesome. I know, this must seem like a broken record. Every early May I come on here bleeting about my favorite show. Well too bad. It is my favorite show, so you guys are just going to have to deal with that. Personally the show went great for me. I hit a new personal best for myself in sales and the new book, Sassy Mavericks: A Space Cops Story, seemed to go over really well. Creatively the show was awesome as well. As you can see above from my haul I got some awesome books. Becky Cloonan's The Mire and Jesse Jacobs' book By this shall you know him are the only two I've read so far..and let me tell you, they are both awesome. Thanks to Chris, Miles and Peter for putting on such an awesome show every year and letting me be a part of it. It really is the best show. The organization, great volunteers, curated exhibitors, free admission and awesome programming add up to make a really unique experience as far as comic shows go. The energy as well; super positive. That really stood out to me at the TCAFter party, Butcher, Miles and Peter were giving their closing speech and everyone was really dialed in and feeling the sense of community. Anyhow, every TCAF I come out super energetic about comics again. Knocking out page after page in seclusion can be pretty rough sometimes but when everyone gets together at shows like TCAF it's easier to remember why comics are so awesome. So what else, Sassy Mavericks is currently going up on my website now, check it out.
