THe Kickstarter is Live!

So I've been away from DA for quite some time. I've been really busy working in comics and getting my feet wet in animation. Some of you know that back when I was first on DA I created a comic called Hyperboy. It was a labor of love and my first real attempt at publishing. now more than 10 years later I'm teaming up with my squad at ID Studios to produce an anthology featuring creator owned characters and stories called the Blueprint 2. The entire studio featuring:
Jerry Gaylord (Me!)
PENG
Bryan Turner
Kenny Groom
and friends of the studio Jeffery and Susan Bridges.

My contribution is the return and update of Hyperboy! Again I've poured my heart into the project, but this time I need your help. Please take a second to check out the kickstarter page . ctwe have tons of cool art to see and really great rewards for backing us.

Thanks in advance!

KickStarter CountDown

  The Identity Comics Studio is returning to it's roots and going back to self publishing! Our kickstarter will go live on July 11th (that's 7/11!) We are producing our first anthology in 10 years, The BluePrint 2! The book will feature stories written and drawn by the studio artists PENG, FLASH, and myself and with writting by our pals Kenny Groom and Jeffery and Susan Bridges.

My primary contribution to the book is the return of Hyperboy! I created him way back in the late 90s and the team and I produced the first comic back in o6. I've always wanted to come back to the character and the BluePrint has given me the chance to bring him back and give him the update he deserves.

We can't do it with out your help! Please consider supporting our kickstarter. We'll be offering some great rewards including original art from the book and custom commissions. This is a labor of love and we want you to be a part of it!

SDCC Artist Alley 2015

We are BACK!!!

Last year I wasn't able to make it to SSDC. It was a really tough decision to make. I just didnt have the money to make it happen. Needless to say it was a bummer. I felt like the comic industry had moved on without me. Here we are a year later and things have fallen back into place. I am ready to rock and for the first time I have a table in Artist Alley! I'll be set up next to my amazingly talented wife, PENG at AA 15-16. We are gonna have all the con goodies you have come to expect from us plus we will be doing on the spot commission work.

Twin Tiers!

It's been a really long time since I updated my site. I got REALLY sick around Christmas and it took a looong time for me to get better. The last month or so I've been back at work full time making art and getting caught up on projects. So now that I'm back it's time for a con! This weekend August 16th and 17th I'll be at Twin Tiers Comic Con in Elmira NY with Peng and Flash. We'll have all our usual goodies plus we'll be doing commissions at the show. So come on out and say hi if you live in the area. The folks in Elmira are awesome and I promise you'll have a great time! enough chit chat from me though. I figure I need to upload some art so ....ENJOY!
