You can hear the music amongst the trees.

This little piece up here is probably going to become a new print to sell. Been creating a lot more stuff recently.  Also I love to text my friends to tell me to draw/paint something because I get something like this:

That's my friend Lizette fighting some zombies. Dreams do come true ladies and gentlemen. Went to C2e2 this past weekend and I got Ryan Kelly to sign my hardcover copy of Local. It was a pretty great time. There are a couple more things that I've been throwing together for your viewing enjoyment...such as this:

And this:

I'll return to leave things for you to view wit your eyeballs!

My life is different now I swear

Life has been throwing me some curveballs lately and I figured it's time to forge a new path. Push through into all the things that I want to do. Finish the Loud graphic novel and other comic ideas, open up some new freelance opportunities, try to get some new artwork out, and finally polish my style. It's a new chapter of life for me and I'm going to accept it and steer it in the direction that I want to.
Here is the first of new artwork from me. Voices I had while I was just dealing with these changes and every thought in my head was just pulling me in all different directions. Voices in my head just telling me every contradicting idea and how to pull it off. Voices that I know I should listen to and some that I just need to drown out. Voices that I know sometimes we all hate to listen to.
This is a time for changing and adjusting to the new path. I'll be around more often.
See you around.

Workingman's Hands

Whoa! It's here again! Chicago Comic-Con is storming into the city again and we'll be smack dab in the middle of it for a third time! Exclamation point! In a few days we'll be selling prints, postcards, paintings, commission sketches, and my graphic novel Loud:Chapter One complete. If you're in Chicago and don't have plans this weekend come and check us out at table 3151, and if you do have plans... break them and come see us at table 3151.

Remember to look for these 2 foreheads.
And here is a throw down of the stuff we'll have at the table.

See you folks at Chicago Comic Con and stay classy.

Leaving on Red Hill.

So I said I would post some more story pages of Tech Ranger and here they are. I tried to just use ink nibs at first but I just didn't feel like it was my work. So I started playing around with brush pen and Eureka! It reminds me of Loud but it has a different energy about it. So after I'm done with this little preview story for Tech Ranger- which will be very soon- I'm gonna move on to finishing Loud. So here are the first 3 pages of "The Last Tech Ranger: To The Rescue".
Also Jodi Hoover and I will be selling our artwork and a bunch of other things at Chicago Comic-Con this summer on August 12-14. Come by and visit check out our work and feel free to buy anything on the table. Hope to see you guys there!

"Hi my name is Pluto! Pllllllllllllllbrt!"

This is Pluto, he's an Ice Elemental! He makes the cold, the snow, and the ice. He hangs out with other elementals and has fun because they are all a playful bunch. He's weak against fire types but his best friend is Apollo the fire elemental. Together they just run around the world causing all sorts of crazy problems like climate change. You can't be mad at them though because those whipper snappers are adorable.
