Jim and Jenn preview Pt 1

Well folks, here comes a 7 page preview of Jim and Jenn. Straight at your faces! Drink it up!

Anyways, last reminder before Fanexpo! Please come on out. I will have all my usual stuff for sale and I will have a dummy copy of Jim and Jenn available for you all too get a complete look at the book..might be your last chance to see it for a while. This puppy wont be seeing print for a bit, so..hope to see you there!

Jim and Jenn preview Pt 2

Jim and Jenn is done.

Jim and Jenn is done. Here is the inks of the cover with no color or any of the other finalized banners.

Finally.

All art, revisions, and other editing I had to do is done completly. I can explain the delay Mom, I mean Ben. It turns out I'm ocd and needed to have it just so.

The final tally is 119 pages. 1 page away from 50% larger than what I initially imagined. Jim and Jenn was only supposed to be in my life for 24 hours. Three years later its finally done. Its wild to look back at those initial 8 pages which led me to here. Including the 35 pages of the previous iteration of Jim and Jenn and demoed pages from this version, Jim and Jenn is over 160 pages total.. the progress from day one to now, I like to think is pretty big.

I'm really excited to get it all together for you all and let you all have a read. I think it turned out well, hopefully the hours and time put into it come across in the reading.

Tomorrow I start scanning all the pages and putting the book together in photoshop. Later this weekend I will post the first six pages. I plan on having a handful of dummy copies next weekend at fanexpo for people to peruse. The actual release date for the book is foggy. Please though, stop by and take a look at the last year of my life. I will be doing free sketches all weekend, have copies of Lucy Legacy and Noway Jose for sale. My booth is located in artists alley alongside my compatriots Julie Faulkner of Promises promises fame and Blair Kitchen he of the possum press!

Now, what shall I do next.

Almost missed July...almost.

Its summer in Toronto! Have you been watching all the pretty girls? Lucky you! This is what I imagine a pretty girl looks like. Its hard to know for sure. Ive not left my room in weeks. And why you ask....
...to finish a certain book! This here was {its no longer in the book} the first page of the current incarnation of Jim and Jenn that I did.

I've proclaimed Jim and Jenn finished in other places already. I will hold off on that proclamation here on my favorite blog though, untill it is 100% complete on the production end. Im still tweaking here and there, have a cover to draw and 100+ pages to letter. I anticipate though that sometime next week I will be posting the cover and the official proclamation along with maybe a five page preview for you my favorite blog readers! The end is so tantalizingly close, Im excited.

100 Posts!

100 posts blogger! We did it! Lets celebrate with a art dump!

Probable inside back cover for Jim and Jenn.. Complete cast pic..kinda looks like a Lost dvd cover..

Yamcha from Dragon Ball. Viz has been putting out these great over sized volumes of the original series. I may or may not have been picking em up...

At TCAF I did a big fail and didnt have enough time to finish a pic for a kid. This was the payback pic I made for him to make up for it, by request. Im a nintendo guy, so, Im sorry mario.

Up next blog post 101! Only 100 more to 200.

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.

Set Blog to sleek and sexy!

Why hello blogger, arent you looking sleek and sexy!  Yes, yes you are. With your fancy new header, links that work and listed from most recently updated to least..A brave new world!

  Anyways, to celebrate this new sleek and sexy era, it seems fitting that I post this Spock and Kirk pinup from the recently released sleek and sexy reboot of Star Trek! This movie is the bomb! I hope you've all seen it...its...so....good.

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.
Theres more pics from TCAF to be found on my Flickr, here.. http://www.flickr.com/photos/33194886@N08/
See you sooner than later. Im hard at work on a Black Bastard six pager which is coming together pretty well, along with a bunch of other nice stuff I wanna show you all.
