February Updates

I am confirmed at the Horror Hound Columbus show ( well they cashed my check ) this March 23-25. I'll be doing the $5 sketch cards as well as "turn you into a zombie(or monster)" sketch cards! Check the link for more spooky info.
More shows to come but I'm working one month at a time so I don't get over-stimulated.
Hey whatdyaknow but STAR #1 is nominated for an award! All this time I was just bullshitting calling it a "award winning" and now here it is nominated for the S.P.A.C.E. Mini-comic/short story category! I can hardly wait to pick out my tux for my walk down the red carpet at the lovely Ramada Plaza Hotel in Columbus Ohio. Or maybe I'll just wear an old t-shirt and soiled pants like everybody else. For more info check out the links.
Big ups to my man Brian John Mitchell over at Silber Media the man who wrote the nominated book (see how I did that?! I can call it nominated!).
This month's sketches are some sneak peeks for the NEW Star book,(that will be available at the HorrorHound show AND S.P.A.C.E. 2012) and a random sci-fi pic that has some color experiments in it.

January 2012 Updates

2012 has begun and I've got a ton of crap planned. That's about as "zingy" as I can get at the moment. Five conventions planned this year, two confirmed at press time(there is no press but that sounds official). So far I've got HorrorHound Weekend in Columbus,Ohio (March 23-25th), and C2E2 (April 13-15th). No word on May or June yet but we shall see.
Lets just get to March without spurting a blood vessel in my temple all over my monitor.

My nerdy art friends are up to no good this new year, and I am helping the cause. Jon Lennon of cheeselordcomics.com has a new anthology, that I am a part of, that is being released in time for C2E2 in April. It's my first original story that is in no way related to Indiana. Another scumbag friend of mine from Ohio, Jason Young, (guttertrash podcast,Buyer Beware Comics)has an anthology of his own that I have also contributed to. Should be ready for the SPACE show at Columbus Ohio in April. And if that was not enough I am doing a sequel to the Award Winning Tiny Mini-comic "Star" for www.silbermedia.com.
Oh yea, have I promised a new One Year in Indiana story? Heh, jokes on you.
This months sketches are: a family portrait commission, a new horror sketch card ($5 at conventions), a new Conrad and a sketch of the Dean from Community drawn 30,000 feet in the air.

December-2011 The Year in Review!

I love year in review shows, countdowns, and best of the year crap that always comes at this time of year. Quick edits that show the outrageous shenanigans that I took part in these past twelve months. Well the truth is that I'm a lousy record keeper and I am also just too damn lazy to come up with something so organized and flashy.
So instead I'll just say thanks to everyone I met at this past years worth of conventions. A bigger thanks to those of you who picked up some of my art, weather in comic, or sketch form. I hope to see you again in the new year.
Next year I've got an ambitious list of conventions,(including a possible trip to the Heroes Con & a new indy con in downtown Chicago!) and no less than THREE stories for some of the nicest fellows in the world of underground/independent comics. Mr.John Lennon from CheezeLord comics, Mr. Brian John Mitchel from the Silber Media empire (a sequel to the award winning "Star" mini book") and Mr. Jason Young from Buyer Beware Comics. All due out early in the 2012. Not to mention a long awaited new One Year in Indiana story!
I'll leave you with some end of the year sketches and sneak panel previews for two of the stories I'm doing in 2012.
Happy New Year ya' screwballs!

HorrorHound weekend updates

Back from Cincinnati and the HorrorHound weekend. This was my first time working a Horror show and it was a good time. First off this is the only time that I've been to a Convention where you could DRINK on the show floor. Let me tell you at 9:30pm on a Friday alcohol gives a Horror con pretty cool vibe. Lots of movie makers, lots of masks, lots of freaks in costumes, and lots of ZOMBIES(However surprisingly no Cthulhu).
I sold a set of Universal Monster sketch cards as well as a Sketch for my table neighbor Bill-Zebub (Metal viking) and a VERY specific Godzilla fan. I also ran into Mr. William Atherton of Ghostbusters,Die Hard, and Real Genius. Ya' know...he's the guy that always plays dicks! Anyway I blew the photo because I didn't bring my book for him to hold but I guess maybe next time. By the way... it was Barbasol Shaving Cream that they dropped on him at the end of Ghostbusters.
I'm gonna' go and get my hernia sewn...

November Updates

Now I am all caught up on my monthly updates, It's November and I am posting.
In three days I will be in beautiful Cincinnati Ohio (my second home) selling my wares at the HorrorHound show. I am looking forward to seeing what horror fans think of my comic and I'm trying a new thing with selling monster sketch cards. So if you are in the neighborhood drop by and say hello it'll be good gorey fun for all!
This month's pic are some recent additions to my sketch cards. Some are framed and some are not(duh). Hopefully I'll have some freaky pics from the show for next month.

October Updates????

As it turns out October was a pretty busy month what with the scary stuff and so fourth so I'll be giving the October update...on November 1st. Ask anyone I am always late.
The Cincinnati comic show was a great time, I made an ass outa' myself when I met "Sterenko" (one name,like Cher or Bono) but that' why I don"t don't like to meet my idols.
Good thing that Cliff Burton is dead and he didn't have to see that ridiculous picture I drew for his parents back in '85. I digress, anyway my next show is Horror Hound Weekend in Cincinnati on the 11-13 of November (see next months update in a couple of days) and I am looking forward to drawing scary/goofy pictures for the masses.
Check out :http://www.horrorhoundweekend.com/shows/201111/default.shtml for more info.
I am working on three stories right now not related to One Year in Indiana, but worry not I have some new stuff coming soon. I know that you were not going to worry.
This months stuff: New sketch cards on sale for $5 at the show and a photo from my Disney Halloween vacation.

September Updates!

Summer is over and I no longer have to sweat uncontrollably just sitting. This month I venture to my home away from home, Cincinnati Ohio, to attend the one day Cincinnati Comic Expo on September 17th. This year looks like a good time and I look forward to going even though I'll be missing Oktoberfest in "Zinzinnati" down the street.
(Far be it from me to promote something else besides the comic show but the Oktoberfest is a freaking good time.)
I'll have the new "Welcome to One Year in Indiana" trade to sell, the OK Panic sketchbook, some sketch cards and the cup o' fun that I had at Wizard Chicago. so drop by.
I am working on getting the trade into stores and Amazon so I'll let you know when that happens. And check back because I'll be doing three new stories for friends in the coming months that includes a sequel to the award winning "Star" Mini-Mini comic from last year!
See www.silbermedia.com for that story and more comics.
And Check out cincinnaticomicexpo.com for more info on the show.
