Cincinnati Comic Expo, Sept. 13-15

Hey, just wanted to mention that I'll be at the Cincinnati Comic Expo next weekend! I already have a few pieces to do at home and some lined up for the show itself. So, it looks to be a good weekend. Here's a few promo pieces/ biz cards for folks to pick up

Getting back to doing what you love!

How many times have you heard people say that and yourself say that and really mean it! I've had to let a few project go recently as they were, potentially good projects, but just weren't right for me in the end. But right now, I'm feeling soo good about things that I don't see anyone really stopping me from what I had set out to continue some years ago, which is great art and story! Salem Erotica is it! She's been thru many designs over the years and there she is, staring me in the face. Calling me. I just couldn't resist. With some dead serious conscience choices with my work, I feel i'm in a happier place than ever before. Hope you all have had a great summer!

Watch this space!
Peace

Dark Phoenix

Here is a piece I did a few weeks ago at the Derby City Comic Con. The show itself was pretty good and always love being able to talk to new people and just talk about art in general. I personally love shows that have a more personal feel to them. Enjoy!

SHE HULK SAYS, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

Well, it is now that time of year for me to start doing some traveling. This is probably the earliest I have ever been ready for a convention. But the www.lexingtoncomiccon.com is this weekend and I look forward to start things off with a bang. I'll be bringing sketchbooks, new prints, some drawing DVDs and ofcourse i'll be doing commissions. Hope to see some of you all there!

Xmen banner for sale

Okay, so i'm looking to sell a few items here. One is the Xmen banner , which measures 2'x6' printed on vinyl. The Xmen portrayed were used for the Rittenhouse Xmen Archives sketch card set. The other is the vertical banner, with the character called Prodigy, which measures 3'x8', also printed on vinyl. If interested, email me for details. I'm ready to spring for a new banner and table skirt and this would help provide for that. 

Thanks. Peace.

RED SONJA commission prelims

Thought i'd show a bit of the process here from an early thumb to loose pencils, then to the final prelim. Even with the final prelim, I think I will go back to her carrying an axe in the other hand in the thumbnail

Free Sketches

Here is just a short sample of when you place Sketchbook orders. Request a character and voila. Looking to make room for this years new Sketchbook I'm working on.

If you're not too familiar with Mitch Byrd's work, then I suggest you take a look at the Kickstarter program that's going on currently with a collection of his work. I highly suggest it.

Plus, I have some announcements of my own coming soon. Happy 2013!

Peace.
