Emerald City Con is next Weekend! I'm so excited about the show! PENG and I will be attending as guests this year. It's going to be fantastic.

Rockin with Loki

I'm so excited about Loki: Ragnarok and roll finally hitting the stands this week. This is the second book I've done for the great folks at Boom! Studios. Having the opportunity to work with Eric Esquivel has been amazing. He and I are totally on the same page and we are kicking butt on this book. I can't wait for everyone to have a chance to read the book.

I wanted to take a second to share some of the line art from the book and maybe give a little insight into the processes of sketching up these pages. Peng and I really gave it everything we had. Lots of love on each page!

Back From the Dead

 So I've been away from the internet for a while now and I just want to let everyone know that it wasn't just a case of being lazy on my part. I was hospitalized on Christmas eve because my kidneys failed. I had been really sick for a long time, but I just didn't want to admit it. It was really tough to take the news, but since I ended up staying in the hospital for about 2 weeks I guess I had plenty of time to let it all sink in. It took a long time to get back on my feet, but here I am.

  I have tons of news to share and I'll be back on a regular posting schedule from now on so There will be lots of new art from me soon. I'm really working hard to get a few projects off the ground as well as being knee deep in some pretty cool projects. For starters I drew issue 255 of Sonic the Hedgehog. It was so fun to work on and just too cool to have a chance to work on such big property. I also just finished up work on Extreme Champion Tournament #0. The story created and written byShaun Paulet is focuses on Spartcus and pits him against all kinds of creatures in a futuristic gladiatorial arena. The kickstarter is live now. If you are into action and huge fights then this one is for you. Right now I am working on the soon to be released Loki: Ragnarok and Roll with the incredibly talented Eric Esquivel, lovely and amazing Peng-Peng and the fantastic Gabriel Cassata. I can hardly believe how fun it is to draw the book and it s being published by Boom! Studios so it's like being home

Things are finally starting to settle back into normalcy for me and I couldn't be happier. It feels good to be spending so much time creating and sharing my work again.

That's about it for now folks. I'll be posting more next Monday!

Thanks!

Sketches for Haiyan

 Hey guys,

The IDStudios crew is opening commissions and sending proceeds to the Philippine Red Cross. More info below:

sample of the art you'll get for donating!

========

Our mission – to get more people to donate to disaster relief efforts for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan. As a thank you, members of IDSTUDIOS will be drawing single-character pencil headsketches for every $26 donation. The $6 will go towards shipping your sketch to you. (We’re only shipping to addresses in the U.S. Sorry, we can’t ship these internationally.) The rest will be given directly to the Philippine Red Cross. Feel free to donate more than $26. If you would like more than one sketch, it’s $26 for each sketch.

If you would like to participate in our mission, please send at least $26 via PayPal as a GIFT to INFO@IDENTITYCOMICS.COM. Sending it as a GIFT will prevent fees from being taken out. We will then donate the total amount at the end of 2 weeks directly to the Philippine Red Cross. Please provide us your name, mailing address, email address, character you’d like drawn, and your artist of choice in the MESSAGE box. You can choose between Peng-Peng, theFranchize, or Flash to draw your sketch. You can email INFO@IDENTITYCOMICS.COM to let us know what we can draw for you!

We’re running this sale for 2 weeks from Nov. 18^th till Dec. 2^nd. We plan on mailing out all art starting Dec. 9^th. All sketches will be drawn on 5.5x8.5” cardstock paper. At the end of each week we will post names and how many sketches they’ve requested on IdentityComics.com so that you know exactly how much donations we’ve received and exactly what we’re sending to the Philippine Red Cross. This is part of our effort to be as transparent and honest as possible.

We’re not a non-profit organization, we won’t have any forms to give you that you can use to write off your donations for tax purposes. We’re just 3 people trying to draw sketches in exchange for donations towards disaster relief. If you are uncomfortable about this, we completely understand and we highly encourage you to please give your donations directly to the Philippine Red Cross or other organizations that will help the victims of Typhoon Haiyan.

We’re asking you, our fans, to please consider donating and telling others you know via social media. Please use #sketchesforhaiyan on Twitter to spread the word. Donate AND get some art all at the same time. Everyone wins!!!

Feel free to visit our online portfolios/blogs to see samples of our work.
