A few things...

Hey wonderful visitors!

I want to write up a more in-depth post about what I've learned in the last little bit of doing this comic thing full time, in the meantime this will have to do.

Here are the covers for the remaining issues of Thumbprint. If you'll remember, Thumbprint is the psychological thriller/horror book I'm working on with Joe Hill and Jason Ciaramella that will be out from IDW starting on June 19th! (that's coming up mighty quick!)
It's a 3 issue mini series based on Joe Hill's novella of the same name.

Here's the cover to issue 2. Had to get this pose/idea out of my system. Pushed the shapes and blacks to fit what I like. The original art on this one is a mess! Way too much white paint splatter, fixes, etc...
Click to see larger!

 

 The cover for issue 3 out in August. Again, trying to push the composition so it stands out beside the other comics. Click for bigger!

I'll probably start posting roughs, panels, and smaller stuff so that there are more posts for you to check out rather than waiting till something official comes out... which is slow, but I appreciate the lead time.

Anyway, back to roughing out this issue.

Thumbprint - Preview Art - Pages 1 - 3

Hey folks,

Here's an update and some art from the first issue of Thumbprint. I wrapped up the issue a little bit ago and am churning out my roughs for issue 2 (the fun part!)
I've also been running around getting some Tiger Lawyer prints ready for this weekend's Calgary Expo, where I'll be selling said prints, pushing Tiger Lawyer 3 which debuts at the con, and doing sketches!. The prints turned out great. I'll put a version online soon enough.

Here are pages 1 - 3 from Thumbprint issue 1 in stores on June 19th!

Tiger Lawyer is blowing up!
Starting in JUNE, Tiger Lawyer will be a 1 page back up (new stories folks!) in Joe Keatinge's Image Comics series Hell Yeah.

Yes you heard that right. Tiger is moving on up.

There's a cool story about how this all worked out and how word of mouth and twitter/blogs worked in amazing ways.... ask me about it over a beer sometime.

Here's a lil teaser image we cooked up...

Well well old friend...

After a long hiatus from posting here (not from drawing)... I'm back!

Wish I was posting here more consistently over the last few months so you (and I) could track my progress, but alas, it is what it is. I was offline for the most part.. no tweets, blog posts, etc...
Just focusing on art.

Here's a quick sketch from tonight.
