Hey everyone,

So it’s been quite a while since I posted anything new, which is very unlike me. Rest assured, I’ve still been extremely busy creating new art, but not all of it are projects or pieces I can pull the curtain off yet. However, one of the things that I can officially announce is the title of my upcoming book series, “The Cartoon Guidebook To Absolute Failure”, written by my great friend Erik Craddock. As you can probably guess by the cover of Issue 1, this book is a little over the top. There will be 6 issues in total, but the first one will be releasing later this summer. For more details directly from the author, check out: http://erikcraddock.com/announcing-brand-new-book-series-cartoon-guidebook-absolute-failure/

We’ll have more to reveal very soon, but for now this will have to do.

So, not that this is a finished piece by any means (but it is for an undisclosed project I’m working on), I thought it was pretty funny on its own, so I decided to do a quick post today. This is actually one layer of three in the final piece, but for now, enjoy this awkward segment.

Here’s my final colored piece for the blog Brand New Nostalgia. This week’s theme was “Space”, and since I have been planning a second children’s book that is based around Dinosaurs in Space, I thought that I may as well do a character design for the book. I’ll hopefully have more to share on this project soon. Stay tuned!

The final inking for a piece I am doing. The theme is “space” so I’ve decided to illustrate a brontosaurus in an astronaut’s uniform. This idea stems from a children’s book idea I’ve been developing for some time now and I thought this would be a good opportunity to start working on some character designs. Stay tuned; the final illustration will be full-color and posted here on Monday.

I was contacted to do some promotional work for a bike organizations upcoming sponsored ride. They wanted something that depicted diversity and was lighthearted, so that everyone can feel welcome. I decided to depict a rode that rose towards the sky in an abstract manner, symbolic to dreams or shooting for the stars. If you look closely, the riders have Hermes like wings attached to their helmets and shoes. Also, the top right is left vacant for either text or a logo to go when the time comes.

Early next year I will be in a gallery show based on the theme of The Wizard of Oz. At first I was tempted to draw flying monkeys, but in the end, who isn’t. Even James Jean drew flying monkeys for Fables a few years ago. Instead, I decided to design a character not yet depicted aside from interior illustrations within the original books; The Wicked Witch of the East. While we all know the story, appearance and conclusion to The Wicked Witch of the West (I should know, my mom was her for Halloween one year), we aren’t as familiar with the story and appearance of the East’s, besides she wore striped socks, oddly bright shoes and was found dead below Dorothy’s house. And what was it even, that distracted her long enough to allow for an entire house to crush her?

For this piece, I decided to answer a few questions of my own and raise a few new ones. I for one assume she was leaning down for some loose change because she was most likely greedy and attracted to small shiny objects (aren’t we all?). Also, I thought since she was the sister of The Wicked Witch of the West, she too would have green skin, if not a bit lighter. And maybe instead of a broom she just had a staff with a bell on it. Certainly her cloak is much more billowy and less dry cleaned, but who’s to say? These are just my thoughts.

The gallery will be from Feb. 8th - 17th / Reception is Feb. 15th :

I’ve finally finished the Conan comic’s color adaptation. I’ll be displaying it at two galleries in Boston this October; one in Waltham and one near the Fenway. I’ll update as to where they are as the time draws near.

So this idea began a while ago, and I just now got around to doing it. One day, while probably riding on the train, I thought, “How much would it hurt if Superman kicked someone in the balls?” Spurring on that, what makes any nut shot worse is being a kid. And what monster would do such a thing? Superman apparently. Turns out he’s a dick and has become part of the “Injustice League”.
