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.

Sketch dump

Hey guys! I'm currently spending my days working on the out line for my next book. It is going to be rad. Once theres some news to tell, you will hear it first! You are my favorite blog after all ol bloggie.

Also, come to TCAF and say hi to me. I will be there in the indie press schooner only on the Sunday. TCAF is always the best show so make sure to look for me there!

Wizard World Toronto

Ah Wizard World Toronto. What a strange beast you were. On the upside I met "Hacksaw" Jim Duggen. He got one of my books then came back later on to tell me how much he liked it! That is wicked! What a sweet guy. It was pretty funny, there was tons of people walking around with signed 2x4's. Every 40 minutes or so you would hear hacksaw from across the hall yelling out his trademark "HOOOO". Good times.
Other good times, almost selling out of my new book despite small amounts of people at the show. Hanging with other comic artists, in particular I would like to shout out my booth nieghbours Mike Hoffman, Evan Munday, Tyrone Macarthy, Sean Lebevre and Matt Joudrey. This show had the most comfortable seats of any convention I've been to. Also, lots of room behind the tables, some shows get a little tight. Not this one.

Negatives! Sad that the shows focus was so wild and unkempt. The advertising didnt do its job. The start times were way to early, particularly on the friday and sunday. I think its unnecasary for any show to start before noon on a sunday and especially on a friday. There was a fire alarm on the saturday right around 3, the peak time. It killed the momentum quite a bit. A lot of people were talking sabotage. Who know, I know Stan Lee was announced for hobbystar on Friday. Odd timing.

Don River

Dudes! I got a new mini comic coming out on Friday! This is the cover banner! Totally come to Wizard world Toronto on Friday March 26th to Sunday March 28th. Hope to see you there!

Don River, super sneak peek!

Heres a page from my new mini, Don River. Its a 24 page little ditty. It will be premiering Friday March 26th @ Wizard World Toronto! Come swing by and visit Julie and I, and pick up a copy!

Sketch Dump!

Guys! I do all these drawing that you guys never see. I put them in this thing called a sketch book! I know. Wild right. I thought I would share some that I inked up with you guys, hope you like em.

Now, important news. I'm tabling with Julie over at The new wizard world toronto show. I'm looking forward to it. Hope you can all come out and check it out! It should be a blast.

Happy Valentines day!
