These are some of the commissions that I did at the Baltimore Con last month. Sorry if some of them are a little blurry, I was only able to get photos from my crappy camera.


Death, Copic markers on bristol, 8.5x11", 2009.


Chun Li, Copic markers on bristol, 8.5x11", 2009.


Mary Jane, Copic markers on bristol, 8.5x11", 2009.


Captain Nemo, Copic markers on bound sketchbook, 11x14", 2009.


Poison Ivy, Copic markers on bristol, 9x12", 2009.

Captain America, Copic markers on bristol, 9x12", 2009.

Fearless Dawn, Copic markers on bristol, 9x12", 2009.

I know it's a month late but I thought I'd share my experience of the Baltimore Con. All I can say is wow, the show was pretty incredible. Marc Nathan and crew put together one heck of a convention.
Some of the highlights for me were that I finally got to meet one of my favorite artist there, J Scott Campbell. Only had to stand in line for like 30 or 40 minutes, but it was worth it. I also got to hang out with Chris Uminga and Matt Fletcher, always nice to see those guys. Chris was even kind enough to suggest to Scott Adsit of 30 Rock to come over to the table and check out my art. That was a pretty exciting experience to be able to chat with him about his work in film and our love of comics. But the best thing was that he commissioned me to do a piece in his League of Extraordinary Gentlemen themed sketch book. I was dumb founded at this because he had a ton of other cool artist renditions in these books (such as Adam Hughes, Eric Canete, Darwin Cooke, Tim Sale, the list goes on). Lets just say that I did not feel worthy enough to be included. I sweated that pic the whole night on Saturday, but I finally came up with a Captain Nemo for him (sorry about the pic above, it was the only one that came out).
The con only being two days went by so quick, but I'm thankful that I was able to stay busy throughout the weekend. Thanks again to all those that came by and said hello. I had so much fun meeting everyone and I will definitely be attending next years show.

Well, that's it for the conventions for me this year. I'm still trying to decide which ones to go to for next year and if anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to make a comment. I have a ton of new work to post up so keep checking back as well. Later.

Rhino, Copic markers on bristol, 9x12", 2009.


Batman, Copic marker on cardboard, 7x8", 2009

Here are couple of commission that I did yesterday at the Hickory Con. The pictures I took of these two are really not that good, but you get the idea. I tried out the card board thing again with the Batman bust and I love the tonal effect I got with it. Thanks again to everyone that stopped by to say hello.
Next up on the convention schedule is the Baltimore Con in October. Keep checking back for updates.

Sorry folks... I know it's been a whole month since I posted anything new on here. I've been busy trying to finish up a ton of commissions. Here are the ones that I've completed so far. Thanks again to everyone that requested work. I had fun doing a lot of these. I will try to start updating again more frequently than I have been.
As for other news I received conformation the Baltimore Con table, so that is all set up for October. This will be the first convention that I do outside of North Carolina and I'm super excited for it. I want to try and do more finished pieces to sell as prints, so any suggestions for new work would be cool. Hope everyone is doing well and keep checking back for new stuff. Later.

Hello! Wow, HeroesCon was so much fun this year and exhausting. Took me a couple of days to recuperate from it. I guess starting it out with lack of sleep really didn't help either, but I got through it. I was able to get through a good portion of the commissions that I took on, but I still have a stack to get through this week. For those of you that I said I will mail back, I'm working on them as fast as I can. I'm hoping to have them finished up by the end of the week to mail back to everyone. I can't thank everyone enough who came by the table and took a look at our art. We even got some professionals to come by and give us some pretty good feed back. I posted some of the better looking commissions that I did at the show. Sorry they are so blurry, I only had my camera to capture them. If anyone would like to send me scans of any of these please do. I would love to have a better record of them.
Since I was working pretty much the whole time I didn't get to walk around the con like I wanted. Which is probably a good thing since I didn't spend as much money as I usually do. I did however get around to see Dustin Nguyen, where I was able to pick up one of my favorite pictures that he did of all the red haired women of comics and he even did a small head sketch of Batman. I also met a really cool colorist named Rico Renzi, check out his awesome body of work. He commissioned the Batgirl picture (above), which is great because I was able to do some more shading work instead of just coloring it in with markers. I had a good mix of commissions this time around. Well enough talk, need to get back to work. I will post up the pictures as I finish them. Thanks again to everyone that stopped by the table to say hello. Can't wait for next years show.
