Up To Lately...

Here is a little peek at what I've been up to lately. I finished Pest Control issue 2 around April of this year, and premiered it at Denver Comic Con 2014. I then just finished "The Incredible Flying Jellybean" issue 1 in July and I will be premiering that this week at Salt Lake Comic Con. I've finished sketching out issue 2 of "TIFJ" and am in the coloring process.

Sorry for not posting a whole lot. I've been busy with a graphic novel for a publisher that I can't talk about yet. I've been working on it for about 3 years on and off. It's taken a while because the publisher was really awesome and let me juggle other work when it came, and they were really accommodating. But, I just turned in the final files and it is now in the hands of the letterer.

So, I've been working on client work and my personal work as much as I can.

The Incredible Flying Jellybean! Issue #1!

5 months since my last post?! Yikes. I'm so sorry. Been doing a lot of freelance work of stuff that I can't show to anyone. That's just how it works sometimes.

But, fear not, for I bring you glad tidings. I've been working on my personal projects in between client work.

I've been writing, sketching, and finishing my latest story called

The Incredible Flying Jellybean

Here is the cover for issue #1 called "First Flight". Enjoy and stay tuned for more. Hopefully I can remember to post more than every 5-6 months. haha

Pest Control Issue 2!

PEST CONTROL issue #2 is on it's way! Stay tuned for more. Enjoy.

Comic Creators for Freedom

Hey everyone, I'm participating in the Comic Creators for Freedom Project, a project to help end human trafficking. This year's participants are drawing "Awkward School Photos" of their creator-owned comic characters. So, I decided to do a school photo of Trigger from my mini-comic, Pest Control. If you're a comic creator and have your own characters, please participate! Click HERE for details.

Here's a side-by-side comparison of then and now:

Sneak Peek!

You guys want a sneak peek of Pest Control issue #2? Of course you do. 

Here's a rough sketch of page one. Things seem to be looking pretty good for Conrad and Trigger's pest control business, but fame is a fickle mistress . What's going to become of our heroes? Stay tuned for more!

Wow. Haven't posted anything in a LONG time! Sorry about that. To make up for it, here is a drawing of some girls. I don't draw girls much. I should do it more often. As you can see, I need the practice.

Hey guys, exciting news! I'm going to be premiering my ROBO 6 mini-comic in print at this year's Denver Comic Con! So, to celebrate I've created a ROBO 6 paper toy for you to cut out and make.

That's it.

COMMISSIONS!

Hi there. I've been getting a lot of commissions lately, so I thought that it would be nice to post my terms of service in one place and just refer my customers to it. So, here are my terms when doing commissions:

1) You send me photos of the person you want me to draw, whether it's you or someone else. Also, any images from the web that you want me to look at for inspiration or ideas. (Keep in mind that I won't completely copy another artist's work because that's messed up).

2) I send you a rough sketch of your piece. This is the main area where I will make any revisions, if any. I will continue to send rough sketches and revisions until you are happy with where it is going. But I have my limits and will not make revisions forever without compensation.

3) I send you an "inked" piece. I can make minor alterations at this stage, but nothing big.

4) When finished, I will send you a low-resolution, watermarked file for final approval. At this point I can change the color of things, but nothing more.

5) After final approval, you send me payment, either by check in the mail (I'll give you my address at this point) or PayPal.

6) Once I receive payment, I send you the full-resolution file for you to do whatever you want.

Disclaimer: I live in a small town with ZERO printing facilities, so I do not offer any sort of print to mail to you. 

Anyways, that's it. Those are my terms of service for commissions. Hope to hear from you soon.

Good News and Bad News

Hey there blog followers. I'm sorry that I haven't posted anything for MONTHS! This is the reason for this post. I have some really GOOD news (for me) and BAD news (for you).

I have been REALLY swamped with work for a while. Which of course, is awesome. But, I've been so busy that I have neglected YOU, the reader. And for that, I apologize.

I've been working on a graphic novel for a small publisher, which I still can't talk about (NDA), and I just got hired by a website called MediaChalk to be their permanent artist. On top of these two time consuming jobs, I'm still doing commissions and logo design. So, my time has been far spent.

So, I'm sorry for the lack of posts, and hope that you can forgive me. I will do better at posting things when I can.

Thank you for understanding, you're awesome.

Every morning I do a warm-up sketch via Facebook friend suggestions. Today's was "the Avengers as a rock band." So, here they are. Enjoy.

I always do this to myself. I create a title logo and a finished cover BEFORE I'm even done writing. This is no different. Here is the final cover for my upcoming graphic novel, 

Light of the Golem

I'm not finished writing it yet, and at this point haven't even started thumbnailing. But, here it is, the cover. Enjoy.

Scooby Doo!

I had so much fun with drawing the characters from Winnie the Pooh that I wanted to do some more classic cartoons, so I put the call out on Facebook. I got a couple suggestions for Scooby Doo. So I present to you 

Scooby Doo and the Mystery Crew

Enjoy.

So, you know those warm-up/morning drawings that I've been doing on Facebook? Well, one suggestion was "Eeyore". Instead of doing the traditional thing, I drew a buff/tough guy Eeyore. Well, it turned out so nice that I couldn't stop, it was too fun. So here is the entire crew of Winnie and the Pooh all decked out for battle, sort of. This is the 

BATTLE for the 100 ACRE WOODS!

Enjoy. :)

Cthulhu vs King Kong!

If you haven't read my past posts, recently I've been doing some "warm-up" sketches on my Facebook page and drawing the first thing someone suggests. Today the suggestion was Cthulhu vs. King Kong. So, here you go. I spent about 2 hours on it, and possibly might revisit it and tighten it up a bit. Enjoy.
