NUMBER 13...A GOOD RUN...LONGING FOR MORE

2011-12-09T09:54:00.000-08:00

Last month saw the end of my 6 part story NUMBER 13 int he pages of Dark Horse Presents. Hopefully many of you picked up the magazine, but if not, it's not too late to get them. It was a lot of fun, but after I finished the last chapter, I felt a bit empty. Empty because there is so much more this story that I didn't get to tell. So in a few months, I hope to have big news regarding NUMBER 13!

HELLO!

2011-10-04T23:10:00.000-07:00

Hello Gang,

INTRODUCING DANA SHUKARTSI!

2011-07-08T12:32:00.000-07:00

Last year I teamed up with fellow POPGUNNERS Adam P. Knave and D.J. Kirkpride, on an un-named project. As my schedule got more complicated I wasn't able to ink my own artwork. D.J. and Adam set out on a mission to find an inker, but not just any inker but an inker that could really enhance my artwork. Thus they found DANA SHUKARTSI. She is an up and coming inker in the industry. And from what I see, she's got a very long career ahead of her.

I'M THE BEST AT WHAT I DO,,,,

2011-07-01T22:58:00.000-07:00

Here's the black and white version and the colored one. I will have the original for sell soon. And plus color prints will be available as well. Stay tuned!

A DIFFERENT WOLVERINE! BUT SAME ATTITUDE!

EMERALD CITY COMIC CON 2011

2011-03-18T12:09:00.000-07:00

Hello Again,

It's been a few weeks since I got back from Seattle, Wa at the ECCC. I had a blast. Met so many people and met up with old friends I haven't seen for a while. Check the few pics I posted. I'm definitely returning next year.

Next stop.....WONDER CON!

COMING SOON! Random scenes of what's coming!

2011-03-11T17:45:00.001-08:00

In a decaying urban wasteland, martial arts and magic are the weapons
of choice in an on-going epic battle between the forces of good and
evil. Traveling through this world on mission of vengeance is Kenji, a
young man robbed of his vision when he was a child, and now blessed
with the mystical power of the Blind Monkey. Determined to avenge the
murder of his father, Kenji battles the forces of the evil Toad
Master, uncovering along the way truths about his family that will
forever change is perception of the world.

Influenced by the classic kung-fu films produced by Hong Kong’s Shaw
Brothers, the urban street art of early hip-hop, and the epic fantasy
of movies like Golden Voyage of Sinbad and Jason and the Argonauts,
Kenji: Spirit of the Seven Dragons is cross-cultural adventure of the
ages.

KILLA BEES! New name for sketchbook!

2011-02-02T18:02:00.000-08:00

Hello again,

Well I changed the name to my new sketchbook (out in March). I guess I just wasn't feeling THE HIVE, so I renamed it KILLA BEES. I like that title much better, with a better cover design. Now it's finally off to the printer. Also IT'S NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDERS! Just click the link below! Only $6 plus $1 for shipping! 52 black and white pages!

THE HIVE

2011-01-29T14:11:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys and Gals,

Well, the work is finally finished on my new sketchbook. This is my very first one. It's called THE HIVE. I wanted a different name that had nothing to do with art, sketching, etc. etc. Something that could possibly stand out. The cover are designs I did a few years ago for a possible animated movie/tv show. I like the artwork so much that I decided to use it for the cover, hence the title.

Anyway, it will be making its debut at the Emerald City Con in Seattle. It's 52 pages, black and white, and will only cost you $6!

I'll have it available for online ordering soon.

Now to start work on my full color ART BOOK, which hopefully be out this summer!

I joined a Comic Book Digital Coloring group on Facebook a few months ago. I made a post that I was looking for a colorist for my contribution in POPGUN VOL. 4. I few weeks went by and I didn't get any responses. But three days ago Michelle Davies sent me an inbox asking if I was still looking. Well to make a long story short, above is her work. She enhanced my piece. I love it, I hope yall do to.

Here's a preview page of my new POPGUN Vol. 4 contribution, THE MAD MAULER.
