Back from the San Diego Comic Con

I recently returned from the San Diego Comic Con—my first time attending. I had a great time. Highlights included a half-hour sit-down conversation with Neal Adams about my art, being introduced to a lot of creators from a variety of companies and publications, seeing a bunch of really crazy costumes, and spending some time enjoying the wonderful architecture and food in the Gas Light District of San Diego.

I also met some online acquaintances from my last project and some future projects including Elton Pruitt (a fine writer who's appeared in "Negative Burn" and "Popgun"), Caleb Monroe (writer of "Remnant"), and James Powell (my editor on a recent story I drew which is appearing in his latest anthology project). These are some great guys. We had a lot of fun.

"I Saw Mommy..."

I recently sent off the inked pages of the short story I was working on for a future Christmas anthology. The working title of "Another First" has been changed to "I Saw Mommy...." The pages should now be in the hands of either the colorist or letterer. I'll post the publishing schedule as soon as I find out when it is.

Above are some pages from the story. I'm not including any that give away the plot.

Back at it again!

After a long hiatus from drawing comics (since last spring and the advent of the arrival of my and my wife's first child and all the business and crazy schedule that it brings), I'm at it again.

I'm picking up the story I starting before the hiatus (the first page of which is posted just previous to this one). The Christmas anthology in which this story will appear was put on hold, and is now "off-hold" and the editor is out pitching the concept to publishers once again.

Here is a loosely pencilled frame from the story. The mother and daughter are in the kitchen wrapping gifts.
