2009 Sketchbook Preview

2009-07-03T15:10:46Z

My sketchbook is done!

The book is 24 full color pages filled with mostly brand new artwork.

I’ll have it in San Diego at the convention for $10! If you can’t make it, I am pre-selling 10 copies now! Better yet, I’m bundling them with a color sketch card! So, for only $15 you’ll get a color sketch card with the character of your choosing, a full color sketchbook with a free sketch in the back!

Here’s a few sample pages:

Good News

2009-06-20T06:22:08Z

Got a couple of things I wanted to share with you. First, I thought I had posted this, but I think I just put it on Twitter, A Bit Haywire was included on the School Library Journal’s Good Comics for Kids Summer Reading List! Thank you very much for that School Library Journal!

Second, I accepted a position at a local college teaching part time! I’ll be teaching Storyboarding and Intro to Digital Imaging this fall at Northwest Vista College. I’m really looking forward to it and have already started planning out the syllabus.

Third, the sketchbook is almost complete! I have four more pages to fill up, two goblins to draw and a certain evil master of the universe to finish. Compared to last years, I don’t know if I can even call it a sketchbook anymore. I might have to title it instead. How fancy of me.

The Hangover

I loved this movie.

Twitter

If you’re not following me on Twitter, you’re missing out. Especially today… that’s all I’m saying…

Email

2009-06-10T18:28:48Z

Just a public notice, I’m going to be switching mail servers this week, so if you get an email bounce from me, leave me a comment here. I’m hoping it will be seamless, but you never know with these things.

Non-Update

2009-05-28T15:53:51Z

Just a quick non-update update. Don’t you love those? Just wanted to keep everyone in the loop. I’m working hard to get a really kickin’ sketchbook for this year. I’m looking at 24 FULL COLOR pages this year. Last years sketchbook was perfect for what I had, but I really want to push myself for a more finished look, so I’m putting in both existing and new art as well as many of my Star Wars and Indy cards. I plan on having 25 - 50 printed up for San Diego, the rest I’ll sell on this site or at any other shows I might make. Here’s a very small peek at what it’ll look like to tide you over.

I sat next to David at Comicpalooza last weekend, which was an unexpected treat. He was asked to do an video interview in front of a green screen, so I asked April to get some fun shots while he was up there. Obviously I had ulterior motives.

Fairly certain the background is from WoW, but I don’t play it, so I’m only guessing.

Comicpalooza was a fun budding convention that I hope turns into a much larger, more air conditioned con. Thanks to all who stopped by.

Free Comic Book Day

2009-04-25T02:45:00Z

So this year for FCBD I’ll be at Comicpalooza in Houston. I’m sharing a table with Dan Conner, who is representing Antarctic Press. I probably won’t be on the roster, so look for AP and you’ll probably find me. I’ll have last years sketch books for $5 and I’ll be doing sketch cards till the day is done. I’m only going to be there on Saturday, so don’t wait until the last minute!

Also, I made plans to be in San Diego this year sharing a table with Josh Howard, Pat Bussey and Bryan Baugh. Should be a blast! I’ll keep you updated with the table number as soon as it’s assigned.
