Next Convention

2009-02-25T03:08:00.002-07:00

Well it looks like I will be attending All-Con in Dallas March 13-15. Here is a link to the website with all the info All-Con Website

I will have a table there and be selling prints as well as scanning in peoples Sketches and coloring them up (they will get a nice print out of course).

Prices:

11"x17" Prints - $10
Sketch Coloring - $10 to $25 for most sketches (crazy backgrounds or multiple characters will bump the price up a little)

I will also be doing 2 coloring demonstrations/classes there. The first one will cover the basic stuff like setting up lines, flats and basic rendering. The second will continue from there with more rendering, FX & Holds and preparing your file for print.

Panel times are:
Coloring 101 - Friday March 13th @ 6pm
Coloring 201 - Sunday March 15th @ 1pm

I will be using the book Hi-Fi Coloring for Comics as the basis for the demos and will have a few copies to sell there (for a little less than you can pick them up in the stores) for those that are interested.

Sharing a table with me will be my buddy Mike Champion who will be doing sketches and who knows what else ;P

So if you are there look for my new banner and come by and say hi to us, we don't bite.....usually :)

FCBD Aftermath

2008-05-04T06:59:00.002-06:00

Well overall FCBD was fun. I was at Premiere Comics in Abilene, TX helping to promote FCBD and the newly formed Abilene Sketch Club (more on that later I promise. I was also signing copies of WoD&D #1, doing free Head Sketches and selling some prints. It was not super busy but it was steady enough, I have never done anything quite like that before so it was pretty cool.

Ok well that is all I can think of at the moment so here are a few sketches I did for people (at least the ones I remembered to take pics of).

We have Nightcrawler, Boba Fett, Spidey and (a really crappy from memory) Chuck Norris.

Free Comic Book Day!!!

2008-04-29T04:06:00.001-06:00

Well it looks like I will be at Premier Comics in Abilene, TX for FCBD.

I will be signing some of my books and doing some free (and probably cheesy) Head Sketches. We will also be promoting the new Abilene Sketch Club (more about it later).

So it you are in the area stop by and say Hi to us.

WooHoo Issue #1 is out!!!

2008-04-17T03:24:00.003-06:00

Well issue #1 of Worlds of Dungeons & Dragons came out this week. Not only that but I just finished issue #2 as well.

Not really much else going on so here is some art.

Oh also be sure to check out Perhapanauts #1 from Image that came out this week too. It is a great book by Todd Dezago, Craig Rousseau and great colors by Rico Renzi.

Now back to your regularly scheduled art.

Back in Texas!!!!!!

2008-04-12T00:41:00.003-06:00

Well we finally made the move back to Texas and I am so happy!!!

We are staying with my Mom and Step-Dad while we find us a place but it shouldn't take too long, hopefully. I am so much less stressed here than I was in Albuquerque. I can't explain the difference in the people and the attitudes here versus in New Mexico.

I am almost done with issue 2 of the Dragonlance story from Worlds of Dungeons & Dragons. I should finish that up this weekend. Once that is done I will be starting on a book with art from Chris Jennings and it looks like it will be allot of fun.

I will try and keep the blog a little better updated, but all things considered, I think I am doing ok ;)

Next post will have some art I promise.

Still Kicking

2008-03-22T12:10:00.003-06:00

Sorry I know it has been a little longer than a week since my last update. Things have been busy busy. I am working on issue 2 of Worlds of Dungeons & Dragons as well as a few other things that I can hopefully show later on.

I finally got my Cintiq after some shipping issues and so far I really dig it. Still trying to get it set up so it feels good and comfortable to work on but I am getting there. In the next 2 weeks things are gonna be getting really crazy because we are moving back to Texas (Yaaaaa!!!!!!!!)

Ok that's it for now. Here is a full page from the Dragonlance story from the first issue of Worlds of Dungeons & Dragons.

Better now

2008-03-13T14:16:00.003-06:00

Well that was sure sucky being sick, especially on my birthday.

Looks like I am gonna be a busy boy over the next month or so. We are moving back to Texas the first week of April, and I have issue 2 of Dragonlance starting to arrive now, along with a couple of other projects that I will be doing through April.

I also just ordered a Wacom Cintiq 12WX so I am looking forward to getting it and working with it. I am hoping that it will help my speed.

Here is a card I colored for a Wrestling card game. The art isn't the greatest but I think it came out ok.

Ugh....Sick!!!

2008-03-07T02:03:00.001-07:00

Yea I am sick. It sucks.

That's all I got. Be back later with some picture goodness or something.

Issue 1 is DONE!!!

2008-02-28T23:37:00.004-07:00

Whew....that was a tough one but my colors for the Dragonlance story of The Worlds of Dungeons & Dragons #1 are done!!! (barring any revisions from Hasbro).

Not sure yet when the release date is but I will let ya know when I find out. Here is a link to a small artical about it and also to Devils Due Publishing who is putting it out. Be sure and check it out.

Well I am beat, been pulling some late (sometimes all) nights to get it done so that's all for now.

3 am

2008-02-20T03:00:00.003-07:00

Well it's 3 am here and I am still up and working.I finally got the corrected pencils for the messed up Dragonlance pages so now it is time to shift into overdrive on it. Pulled a all-nighter last night and will probably be pulling them until next Monday, which is when the deadline is for the book.

I am pretty happy with my work on it so far. I am no where near satisfied with it all but I do feel like I have made some progress using a more painted style. I have definitely learned some new things and a few things have started to click that I have struggled with for a long time.

Here is another sneak peek. This is the same panel that I posted before with the final colors (unless Hasbro and Wizards of the Coasts veto something).

We want you!!!

2008-02-14T13:56:00.003-07:00

Trying to post at least once a week. busy coloring the Dragonlance story from the new Worlds of Dungeons and Dragons comic, so that is keeping me pretty busy. I can't really post up much in the way of the art but I will try and sneak in a preview panel here and there ;)

This is a panel from page 3 of the Dragonlance story.

In the Studio...

2008-02-10T23:18:00.000-07:00

Well yseterday I was asked to join Empty Room Studios www.emptyroomstudios.com

ERS is owned by Jeremy Mholer and Rick Hershey. I have done some work with them in the past on Jeremy's Baeg Tobar project and they are great guys. I am really flattered and looking forward to getting to work on some of their other projects.

Here is some of the stuff I did for Baeg Tobar.

Clean Sweep

2008-02-09T00:03:00.000-07:00

Well I guess I am going to give this blogging thing a try again.

I will attempt to update at least once a week (more if I can). To help me achieve this my wife Stephane will probably be posting for me now and then or she may post something totally of her own (kinda scares me though).

I have been adding and organizing my page a bit and trying to make it a pleasing (to me anyway) as I can, but I suck at any kind of web scripting so bear with me.

Here is a early sample of my newest project for you to see, this is not what the actual panel ended up looking like but it was a style test.

Just for Mike

2007-06-14T17:19:00.000-06:00

Well my friend Mike was apprently telling my wife that I need to make some sort of update here.

So here it is just for you Mike, an update.

Well I guess I will throw in a little art too.

This is a picture that my son, James (he is 8 btw), painted in his art class. I am very impressed with it.

He calls it Angry/Sad.
