The End?

Why is it that things have to bee so tough? Sometimes it's like the world just can't throw enough crap my way. Money is tighter than it has been in quite a while which makes everything tough, plus gas has finally reached over $4.00 where I live. Even Superman has given up on "truth, justice and the American way". I think the worst part is the mood I've been in lately. It's hard to stay motivated when so many things seem to be stacked against me. (Sorry for all the venting folks)

Now that I've gotten the belly aching out of my system I know what I really need to do is buckle down and make something happen. No matter how tough things are I'm not built to quit. There is a great quote from Superman III...little Ricky finds Superman who has been affected with some new kryptonite in a bar getting drunk and terrorizing people with his heat vision. Ricky tells Superman that "He's just in a slump. He can be great again!". Right now I know I'm in a slump, but I can be great again too.

So I'm not giving up. It's time to get down to business and prove that I really am the "World's Greatest" (those that know me best will know about that).

Next week I'm sure I'll have better news to report. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Sumpthin Different

I felt like drawing something that isn't a super hero. I guess it's good to flex my skills on the female figure from time to time.

By the way, I saw Thor today and I thought it was ok. Yup, just OK. I was hoping for more, but what can u do right?

Fastest Man Alive

Anyone else hate tax time? ARGH! Uncle same came around last month and really drained my pockets dry. It put me in quite the financial bind this month. I've had to really battle to get ends to meet. Anyhow. That is good news for the blog cuz that means I'll have more art to post!

This piece is the line work for a commission piece for a friend that is loooooong over due. Hopefully He will like it and that will make up for how long it took me to get it to him. I did a color version as well, but I think I'll wait to post that until next time.

Later!

Fingers to the Bone

I've been on a crazy roller coaster ride full of great projects since February. It's crazy cuz I'm normally just sitting on my hands just praying for work. This year is it's own animal completely. I've been working with Sean Galloway
on some of his creator owned stuff, which has been a dream come true. Sean is great to work with plus he has been schooling me in the finer points of the biz. I have also been working on a few story board projects. One of them is for the USPS. It's so funny that I never would have thought I would do story boarding work, but here we are and I gotta say I have loved every bit of it.

I have also manged to squeeze in some small press comic work here and there. I'll be free to post some that soon.

Plus the biggest news for me is that ID Studio is finally back at work on the Brotherhood. There are gonna be some changes to the concept and all the characters have had some new design work done. When the project hits it is gonna blow yall away. I'll see if I can post a small sneak peak next post.

Then last but not least I am finally breaking ground on my new art book! Again there isn't much I can say about it yet, but you can bet I am gonna post new art from it as soon I can.

So in the meantime I'll leave yall with a lil more Pendant art.

This Changes Everything

I have waited soooo long to post this teaser! This is just a taste of the work I have been a part of with Sean Galloway and the crew. There will be more updates about this so keep your ears to the ground.

Wait for it....
