Vs Zombies and Cons

Work has been pretty much non stop for the last 3 weeks or so. It's been great to have so much going on and so many cons to hit up. so far I think me and the ID Crew have done about 12 cons and we just added 2 more. The WV POP CON, Morgantown, WVOctober 6-7, 2012 that me and my team will be guesting at (the show really looks like it's gonna be a blast and I can't wait!). We also just added the
Annapolis Comic-Con | Annapolis, MD, October 27, 2012 another home town show. I can't get enough of the local shows. It's really great to hang out and talk shop with my peeps from around the way.

Speaking of cons (u gotta love that segway right?!) the Baltimore con was totally off the hook. Me and the crew had the best show we have ever had. Huge thank you to everyone who stopped by to pick up a comic, print, or commission. You guys all rock. I also got to hang out at the BOOM! Studios booth and meet Ross Richie for the first time and sign some con exclusive versions of FANBOYS VS ZOMBIES #1.

All the while Pennie, Flash and I battled to get the latest issue of FVZ out on time. It was a battle of epic proportions, but we made it and I think this issue tops em all so far. Flash and I actually split up the art chores this issue and he rocked out some classic stuff. prepare to get your shoes knocked off.

And last but not least  the love of my life (PENG) got me some brand new kicks fresh from Krypton to keep me extra fly at this years remaining cons. Yup, I'm a lucky guy. She also found it in her heart to indulge my love of TMNT and got me a set of the figures based on the new animated series. They are lean green fighting machines! Yes, I know I'm a nerd.

Thanks for tuning in folks. More art and news to come!

This summer has been going a mile a minute. Working on Fanboys vs Zombies and getting out to cons has been amazing. I really can't thank all of you who are supporting the book enough. It really means a lot to me that u guys are picking up the book each month. So I thought I would post some of the process of how I handle my page work. The above art is my thumb sketches that I do at 8 1/2 x11 and the fully inked finished art to match.

Right now I would have to say I'm as busy as I have ever been. Working as a pro artist since I was 18 has really given me time to build contacts and it's kinda funny sometimes where the work opportunities come from. For example last week I was contacted by a client I did some caricature work for maybe 10 years ago to do some graphics work. That, plus all the comic work and caricature events have kept me knee deep in art.

The Baltimore Comic Con is coming up next month and I'm cooking up some new stuff for the show. I'm really looking forward to being back in Bmore and seeing some old friends and hopefully making some new ones.

 Since FVZ #2 is already out and in shops I figure it's cool to share some art with yall. These are a few of my favorite pages from the book without being to spoilery.  I'm trying to stick as many easter eggs as I can in each page. I think I pulled off a few good ones in these pages.

CBR recently posted these preview pages that BOOM! Studios showed at this year's Wondercon. It's so cool to show some of the zombies that I got to draw in the book. I really love the colors by Nolan Woodard. He really knocked it outta the park.

The book is out this April so be sure to pick it up at your local comic shop!

Fanboys Vs Zombies for Boom!

Fanboys Vs Zombies issue #1 cover by Humberto Ramos!

So I'm finally out from under my rock! Yall might already know by now, but I am the artist on Boom Studio's new ongoing series Fanboys Vs Zombies! Th reason, I haven't been able to update my blog or any of my social networks is because I have been working on this book and a few other projects all at once.

Fanboys Vs Zombies interior page line art by Me and Pen-Peng !

 One of the really great things about working on the first issue has been that Peng-Peng was able to work with me and do a huge chunk of the inking on the book. The colors are by Nolan Woodard who just happens to have been one of my studio mates instructors at SCAD.

I also got to create the look for one of the lead characters in the book. The yiung lady in pink is Amanda and she has quickly become one my favs in the book.

getting down to the biz

Still working hard. I worked some events over the weekend with pretty long hours, now I'm back in the lab finishing up some layouts and sending some e-mails so I can hit the hay. It is great to actually be doing what I love for a living. Sometimes I have to step back from my work just to take it all in and realize that I am actually doing what I always dreamed I would be doing when i was a kid.

I don't have much work that I am allowed to show right now. I'm working on some stuff that is pretty hush hush. So I'll show a pin-up I did for a friend for his Zombie of the Month comic. This character's creator is an old friend of mine, Don Kunkel check his DA page if u get a chance.
