It's a secret to everyone.

I love doing Nintendo-flavored art (hell, I did a webcomic for two years because of that), so I was pretty psyched when my friend Dan asked for a commish based on the Secret Moblins.

Batman/Blue Beetle Commish

I don't do superheroes as a general rule, but for a small sum, I'll do whatever you want. This one was for my friend Rachel.

Dead Winter Costume Contest

So guys, I won third place in Dave's costume contest! Here's my entry:

If you don't read Dead Winter, read it gosh darnit!

Mayan Showcase

I kinda got the art bug this weekend and drew myself and some of my forum friends in Meso-American-inspired style.

I lost.

Danger Radio posted a little contest on their Twitter to draw some kind of funny picture. The requirements were a little vague, so I did this.



It didn't win. The one that did was pretty lame.

Anyway.

Grackle - Now for Sale!

OK guys, this is exciting for me. After a couple tense months of waiting, my first full length graphic novel Grackle is for sale at the comixpress online store. If you'd like to preview it, you can go to my website here.

The book is available for a mere $5.00. That's not bad for 128 pages of leetle birdy goodness!

Go here to purchase.

Lubbock Comic Book Expo Recap

So, my first con. Not necessarily a success, not necessarily a failure. I broke even, which most people tell me is a success in the Artist Alley. So, I'll take it for what it is.

It was a retardedly long drive: 7 hours from Austin to Lubbock. We accidentally overshot our exit by 30 miles and ended up in a small town by the name of Throckmorton. Because of the ensuing adventure, I am once again certain that GPS is a fun-killer.



When we got into town, the Motel 6 was already out of rooms (argh!), so we drove around looking for anything less than $80. By then, it'd been raining for hours. We resignedly had Whataburger for dinner and went to bed.

The next day, I realized that I forgot my tablecloth. Jenny was mad. But I HAD TO HAVE IT. My whole display depended upon that specially selected piece of fabric to tie it together. Thankfully, Hobby Lobby opened at 9:00, and I was able to get a new one just in time.



I was in-between two artists - Ariel Walden and the super-talented Will Terrell. Ariel does a comic called Sparkling Trio, which looks something like a mix between the Ninja Turtles and Sailor Moon. She was cool, but her art needs a bit of work. Will's comic Black Dawn is lovely and has an absorbing storyline. Both people were a real pleasure to hang out with for the afternoon.

As the day went on, I got a little bored and started drawing alongside Ariel's friend, shown here on the left (Ariel is in the middle).



He was drawing a Fire-Emblem-inspired picture, and I couldn't help but join in. His is on the left, mine is on the right.



All in all, it was a pretty good time. I met some cool people, ate way too much fast food, had to listen to little kids bang on wood with hammers for seven hours, and sold a mess of comics. I might go back in November for the West Texas Comic Con. Here's hopin'!
