MAY UPDATES

In one week I will be at the Summit City Con in beautiful downtown Fort Wayne Indiana. It's my second time showing and it should be a good time. I'll be doing sketch cards and turning people into the undead upon request. Along with my usual stack o' stuff I have new stuff! I just received a package from my pal (and fellow ok-panic artist) Jason Young over at Buyer Beware comics. In said package is the newest "Veggie Dog Saturn Special" where I illustrated a story for Jason about his eating habits in Jr. High. No, I'm not joking. Check out my links or just come by the show to get yer hands on his comics.

It also looks like I will be at the CAKE show in June. C.A.K.E. (Chicago Alternative Comics Expo) is a new show right in the heart of downtown Chicago at Columbia College. It seems that space was very limited and I am glad to get in. For more info visit:www.cakechicago.com I'm re-doing my web site VERY soon so I am busy adding new art and getting together stuff for new galleries. Last but not least it looks like I have stared maybe the stupidest year long project I could come up with: THE BLOB PROJECT 2012. This will be a year long study of the formless mass of Horror film fun & how I can draw him to look cool. Stay tuned! Until then, come by the Summit City show and say hello. Later,

April 16th C2E2 Update

C2E2, file it away, it's done! I enjoyed the show and the post show cocktails with friends. Good people, good times with good nerds. I have posted the standard rogues gallery of costumes and some more "Zombification" cards & new sketches. By the way while Ghost Rider might be a simple character to draw, he is always something awesome to look at. See you next time with some info on the Summit City show in Ft. Wayne Indiana!

April Updates

A little late posting my adventures at Horrorhound last month, sorrrry. Anyway I had a great time and I met a ton of people that wanted to be "Zombified" on a sketch card, (see the pics above for some of my victims). It was such a success I'm gonna' keep on doin' it for the other con's I'm going to this year. Look for me this weekend at C2E2 in Chicago and I'll mess up yer face for you.
Speaking of C2E2 I'm going to be at table G4B so come on by and say "hey".This year I'll have a TON of new art and comics for everybody including a NEW One Year in Indiana story!
I didn't think that it could happen but it did. Along with that I'll have a new Ok-Panic sketchbook and some other special appearance comics. Maybe I'll draw you as a Zombie. Do it now before people get tired of Zombies and Zombie shows...it's gonna' happen ya' know.
Look forward to seeing anybody..seriously, if you read this come by the show and say you did so I know that I'm not just yankin' crank over here.

March 21st updates HorrorHound Weekend .

In one day I leave for beautiful Columbus Ohio to attend my second HorrorHound convention. I have been busting ass to get enough new sketch cards ready for the show as well as some spiffy new signs. This weekend I'll be offering my Monster Sketch Cards for $5.00! I'll also be doing custom cards and "Zombifing" people for the same price. Also my One Year in Indiana collection will be there as stickers, buttons, cups and so on. I'm looking forward to this show and hope to see some freaky stuff (as I did back in November at the Cincinnati horror show). So if you are there stop on by and say hello and I'll take your picture for a zombie card!

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.
