So this past weekend was the Phoenix Cactus Comic-Con and I had an artist alley table. I didn't expect much before hand although they had a handful of cool guests including Ron Garney, Palmiotti, Amanda Conner, etc. The con organizers overbooked the main hall so everyone with an AA table was put in the hallway. So essentially the only way traffic ( Read more... )

It's been a while hasn't it. Things have been moving along towards the end of Villains. The trade is coming out in December and i just shot off the cover to the colorist last night so he can make it all pretty. Issue #4 should be out next week or so, I'm doing a signing tonight for it so I have some advance copies waiting for me. I am eager to see ( Read more... )

If I don’t think my stuff is up to snuff, then it is not, and I need to stop resting ( Read more... )

There are several “possible” interests in Villains on the media front, I have a significant contribution to an anthology that “may” come out with a great publisher, The news that Hurricane Kids has a publisher, but I won’t speak about it until I ( Read more... )

For someone with umpteen blogs, I am the worst blogger. My creator owned series “Villains” should be in stores sometime this month, I have seen the first 2 issues and they look great. Issue #3 is being finished up right now and I’m working on issue #4 to be done hopefully in about a month. After Villains I plan to work on my sketchbook/Ronin comic ( Read more... )

I hate people with whiny voices. Makes me want to fucking snap their necks.
