I've finished up some of these X-Men related commissions, thought I'd share a couple of them.  I also wanted to show off the finished Wolverine print from this past NYCC show.  More to follow, so keep checking back.

What's a Magneto....

So yeah it's been a few months since I last posted something on here.  I recently finished up this Magneto and had to show it off! The red and purple color palette on this one was so unique to me. I had to layer up a few different shades of violets from the copics to get something that worked for me. Who knew you could get such bright colors out of markers. Hopefully more post to follow.

HeroesCon this weekend!

Deadpool, Ps3, 11x17", 2011.

Just a one more day till HeroesCon 2011!  I thought I would show a couple new things that I will have available at this years show, a new Deadpool print and my third installment of my hand made sketchbooks.(Thats right "hand made", I print, staple and fold all these bad boys all by myself)  This sketchbook is my favorite by far so I'm excited to introduce it at the show.  Hope everyone likes it.  I put up the Wolverine drawing that I was trying to get ready as a print for Heroes, but just didn't have enough time to pull it off.  Hopefully I will have it ready for the next con, which will probably be New York Comic Con (if I can get in again).  As for Heroes this weekend, I will be in artist alley at table AA-833.  Beside me again will be Adam Goudelock (AA-842) and Chris Uminga and Matt Fletcher (AA-841).  And welcome back Kim Feigenbaum and Jay (her husband).  Also joining me at my end of the table will be Kelsey Gagnon, who will have a special little book that she made just for you to enjoy.  So come by if you can and say hello, should be a fun weekend!

Quick update before I go to bed...just finished up this commission and wanted to share.  This is my favorite commission so far, kind of hard to part with this one.  Ok see everyone at HeroesCon in a few hours!

Who wants some Deadpool?

I'm currently working on some new prints for upcoming shows and it seems like everyone loves Deadpool these days so why not.

Well it's that time of year again.  CONVENTIONS!!  First up is Emerald City Comic Con!  It's only a week away and I'm almost ready for it.  (What a surprise...well I'm shocked.)  I will be in the artist alley, table number H-6.  I shall be beside my convention counterparts Matt Fletcher and Chris Uminga once again.  So if you are in Seattle come say hello.  I'm bringing sketchbooks this time around so be sure to stop by and pick one up.  I will be doing commissions and selling prints too.

Filthy Humans...

I think I was getting a little burned out on the super heroes so this Planet of the Apes commission was a nice change of pace.
I'm not sure if this is going to help or hurt but I wanted to add my current commission list to the side of the blog.  The order shown are the way I received them in, but not necessarily the order in which I'm going to work through them.  I can only do so many Deadpools and such before I start to lose my mind, so I've been jumping through the list as they interest me.  Since I have so many right now, I'm going to close the list till I can make a dent.  I hate to do this because I really have a hard time saying no to work, but if I don't I will have people waiting a year or more for commissions.  (I have a few more people to email about ones from the last month, sorry I haven't gotten back to you yet.)  When I'm ready to take on more commissions I will post something on here.  Thanks again for all the work.       

New post already, what does it mean?

Here are few more commissions as promised.  And speaking of which, I know I have a lot of you out there waiting on commissions.  Don't worry I'm working through them, it's just taking me a little more time than I thought and I apologize for making you wait.  I want to make sure that everyone gets the best work that I can do.  I'll keep posting as I get them done and thanks again for all your support.

I'll take that banana there...

In an effort to post more stuff on the blog I'm going to share more of the in progress sketches from some of the commissions that I'm working on.  This Planet of the Apes piece is my current challenge, I actually started this back at the New York Comic Con and am now just getting it finished up. (Hope the owner is not to pissed at me for taking so long, sorry.)  I'll put up some more finished commissions next go around.

Oh and I can say for sure now that my first con for the 2011 year is going to be Emerald City Comicon.  (Thanks to Chris Uminga and Matt Fletcher!)  Last year was the first time I had been out there and I fell in love with the city and I'm so happy I get to go back and visit again.
