I did an interview last week with Darrel and Thomas from the ARTZEN podcast. I really enjoyed it, I hope you’ll give it a listen. We talk a lot about what it takes to succeed in comics, and I talk about my career some. I try and get across some of the hard lessons I’ve had to learn in my career and in the development of my art. Hopefully there’s lots of good info in there for you. Please share if you get something out of it.

Part ONE
Part TWO

Thank you again Darrel and Thomas for having me on. I really enjoyed the discussion.

I decided to stick with col-erase colored pencil tonights since that’s what I’ve been drawing with a lot the last week or so. I like the results. I try to stay with red/orange and blue for most of these. My thanks to Lando for hosting the group this week. If you’re in the Lubbock/West Texas area and you’re interested in figure drawing, please visit our site at www.drawinglubbock.com for updates on figure drawing dates and times.

It was a lot of fun trying to catch them all. Although we did get busted. Which almost never happens. Luckily everyone seemed to really enjoy their sketches.

These are actually each from a different place. I try to do at least one sketch when I go out in public. It helps keep me loose so that by the time I get back to the studio I don’t have to spend a couple hours getting warmed up to work.

If you are a fan of Super Zeroes, or a webcomic artist in the DFW area, I would love to meet you. There will be two opportunities this weekend, hopefully you can make it out to at least one!

I’m getting a group of webcomics people together Saturday at Chipotle on 75 and Forest Lane in Dallas. We’ll be there from 7-10 probably. And Sunday night from 6:30-9:30 I’ll be at the Drink and Draw at the Flying Saucer. You can find more info for that on the drink and draw site HERE! I hope to see lots of awesome people this weekend. Hopefully you’ll be one of them!

I recently did some fanart for my friend Stephen McCranie that does the wonderful all-ages graphic novel Mal and Chad! I was finally able to meet this awesome creator in Albuquerque a couple months back when my wife and I were driving back from LA. Its always such a relief to meet other people that do what you do, and to find out that you’re not so crazy, given all it takes to make good comics. Stephen’s Second Mal and Chad book  is being released very soon! If you’ve got a young reader (or like me just really like fun stories) you should definitely GET THIS BOOK!

It’s been a while since I did an actual illustration (been a while since I had time!) But I finally wrapped up all of my 2011 projects just in time for the new year. What a relief!

I started this last night, and finished it up today. That makes it officially my first drawing of 2012. Hopefully this year will be as blessed as last year.

This painting will be at the Intersections: Art and the Body  art show this Friday from 6 – 9. I’m putting it up for sale for $250. Email me if you’re interested.

The painting is watercolor, pen and airbrush on 12×8 bristol board.

I know it looks like he was eating a steak, but it was actually pasta, I was just too lazy to draw the noodles.

My wife and I were in LA a couple weeks ago, and we saw this little guy in one of the neighborhoods around Disney feature animation. He was so fat and chubby, he couldn’t make it up the tree. I finally got around to finishing up the sketch.
