Free Comic Book Day! This Saturday…
This Saturday, May 5th (Which is also Cinco De Mayo, coincidence?) is Free Comic Book Day. For those of you who are unaware of this day, publishers release a mass of free comic books to entice new readers. Well, this time around, I will be at All Things Fun! in Berlin, NJ. I will be showing off my upcoming graphic novel, Becoming, and also showing off Arcana Comic’s crossover event, Intrinsic.
Also, I will be selling my new Adventure Time print featuring Finn and Jake! So come by, get some free comics and have fun!

Hashing out an idea…
April 20, 2012
I was tasked to develop several images for a collaborator and friend, Brooke Burgess. He wanted to design a new website and asked me to create several images for his re-branding. I created a background image which was also to be used as a Twitter background and a landscape image for the front page. I was also asked to create a logo which incorporated his initials. The background and logo were to have a “Superman-ish” feel while the landscape was supposed to convey Brooke’s “transmedia” involvement.
Brooke’s website is: http://brookeburgess.com/ and his Twitter: @brokensaint

Some designs – Technomancer
April 15, 2012
I was approached to do art for the upcoming book, Technomancer, written by Raphael Moran. As part of the gig, I was asked to do several images of characters in the book, which would then be shown to the editors involved with the project. It’s essentially a test to see if I can pull it off and if my style is something they’d be interested in. With that, I did three images of very different characters. Here they are for you to view.

Deep Space 9 Inked
March 25, 2012
It’s been some time coming, but the sheer detail of this piece has taken awhile. Among everything else I’ve had to do, I’ve finally finished the inks on this. The next step is color, but that shouldn’t take as long.
Drawing the Breen Chel’Grett cruisers were probably the worst part of this. And some of the Cardassian ships too.

New stuff.
March 23, 2012
For the past month I’ve been busy with several projects, as well as (finally) getting my wisdom teeth out. But in this post you’ll find a couple things I’ve been working on.
The images I’ve included are mainly from fun side projects I’ve been able to work on in my spare time. Just little things to keep me sane while I attempt to make a living. Among this assortment is a Zombie Che Guevara, Commander Shepard from Mass Effect 3, and a redesigned Power Girl and Batgirl for a contest on Superhero Of the Month.

Deep Space 9 Commission Update
February 20, 2012
Here is a four page spread of a commission I am doing. Each separate page is 11×17 inches. I have put the pages together so it can be seen in its almost full glory.
There is still a ways to go: fill in the remaining ships AND color.

Starfire Redesign
February 16, 2012
Superhero Of The Month and Girls Gone Geek are holding a contest to redesign the DC Comics character Starfire. Starfire has been a big player in the Teen Titans and with the somewhat recent cartoon, shes gained in popularity. On the TV she is a shy teen, and earlier in the comics, she was attractive and fierce. But recently with the launch of the DC New Universe, Starfire has become an emotionless nymphomaniac with a skimpy costume to boot. This iteration really alienates all the fans who have come to love her as a deeper character. Now she just plays into geeky sexual fantasies.
So I decided to try my hand at making her, at least visually, more attractive as a character, while still keeping her classy.
My take on Starfire heavily channels the 1960′s and 1970′s Sci-Fi girl, namely Barbarella. Starfire, to me, is supposed to convey someone extremely sexy, but also tough. She’s a princess, so she should be classy too. I also wanted to open her image back up to the Teen Titans cartoon generation, where Starfire was more shy and cute. I also felt the large hair was out of date. I wanted to give her something more modern but also allow her a somewhat classic look.

The real deal.
Here is the piece I did for Underbelly’s relaunch intro. Took about two hours from start to finish. I think it turned out pretty swell.
