Thanks. I appreciate it but unfortunately that was a just a sample piece of a comic that I never got picked for, but c'est la vie. I'd thought I'd post it seeing I put some time into it.

Well I just finished the pencils to my comic all 28 pages are done. I just have an illustration to do for it and then I scan them in and then off to Manga Studio we go. I really believe it's some of my best straight up Western styled stuff. As far as the story telling it's the best I've ever done and it's the best writing Suzy and I have done. Also by far the edgiest work.

Well last week our new story in Heavy Metal hit the stands, the story is called A lonely cry in space. it's our third story in the magazine. This time it's a whopping 7 pages. What do you get when you have a astronaut with computer problems and a lonely space siren? Well you'll have to read it to find out.
Also anyone attending Mocca, we will be there this year our table number is C28. Drop by and say hello and pick up a free graphic novel.
I haven't been working as heavily on illustrations and paintings as of late because I've been consumed by penciling my latest comic which is coming along. I'm 22 pages into the comic and thankfully there's only 28 pages so six pages to go.
I'll have plenty to share in the upcoming weeks. Stay tuned. Now back to the drawing table for me.

I'm on my eleventh page of my new comic series. They're just flying by. It's weird when I'm working on painting and finishing. I rarely get to sketch, but now that I'm doing pencil pages I'm sketching up a storm. I started a sketched a few weeks ago and it'll probably be done by the end of the month. I'm going to have to schedule in drawing when I'm finishing paintings and stuff, maybe while I watch TV.
There's a ton of character design That I have to do for my Superhero.Inc comic series. Basically an entire pantheon of Superheros. the hardest thing with this story was the Villains. Once you push the envelope on the darkness with the heros then you have to really try hard to push the villains further out there. The overall story line is nicely layered and I'm scripting it at any chance that I get.
Plus it seems that I keep getting requests for work. I have some Mj mouse originals I have to do for an African charity and I might roll out a new MJ style I busted out the other day. When I do I'll post it up here.
The great thing is my new Heavy Metal story is coming out next week. I got a few pieces picked up for another magazine.
The crazy thing is that having work all the way up to my neck. I got the crazy idea of doing a comic strip. I guess I do love what I do.

It was good. However if you've seen Avatar. You can see the difference between facial capturing and straight up animating. Other than that it was was like an a story book illustration come alive witha dose of acid. Burton out did him self with the design as always and some. The story was good. I must admit he has a pair on him to touch something that's been in our collective conscious for so long. I think he pulled it off.
