Wishless: A Graphic Anthology

2016-06-05T14:05:00.002-07:00

Cover by Lyndon Navalta

Hi guys! It's good to be back, and ready with some new, and exciting updates. I've been busy for a little over a year, developing my first, completed piece of sequential art in this wonderful Independent Graphic Anthology made by some of the most talented people I have come to know. This anthology is filled with great art, and fantastic stories created by wonderful illustrators/artists.

The book is called WISHLESS: A Graphic Anthology.

"What is Wishless about?" some might ask. "What is the anthology about?" Wishless is a Graphic Anthology exploring some of the answers to an interesting question that immediately peaked our imaginations.

What if Pinocchio's wish was never granted, and he never became a real boy?

The book sold out from the first limited printing of books yesterday at The Comic Creator's Festival in Calgary. The festival was organized by the wonderful folks at Panel One. Many thanks to Panel One and the fantastic people that have worked very hard to make the festival a reality.

The book has also been submitted to comiXology as a digital book, and the release date will be announced shortly. We are going to have a few more events set up to help promote, and raise a little more funding for the book's larger batch in its second print run. I will be selling copies of the book throughout the year, and next year as I travel around Canada towards a few of the Comic Conventions, and make a return to the Calgary Comic Entertainment Expo. We also plan to have the book available at some of the local comic book shops in Calgary sometime this year.

Here is a sample of the book below with small excerpts from each story, along with links to each artist's websites.

Here is the illustration completed. This will be available as a print which will be sold at the Calgary Entertainment Expo. Please come by and visit me in the artist alley if you find yourself at the Calgary Comic Expo this April.

An illustration I have been working on primarily focused on the imagination. This illustration serves as a testing ground for me to refine some of the character designs that I am preparing for a Children's Book story of my own creation. I will be submitting this for the Calgary Entertainment Expo in their Artbook since their theme is "Weird Tales." I feel this fit the theme perfectly.
