Postmortem
What's the art becoming for me? Couldn't tell ya. I'm walking down a road now. Deep, dark, introspective self-indulgence. Not where I want to be but here I am, might as fucking well jump in. 39 days down since I lost my wife and I'm fumbling for the means to exercise this thing in me. But there it is, in front of me, a cocoon. I'll pull up my seat and wait and see what comes out. I'm going back to my roots; way past my roots.
Lucas And Other Nightmares
The book, Lucas, is done. The cover is done. All turned in and off to print. Very happy. A lot of work. Finally starting on a piece for Sideshow that's been on the back-burner for a while now. I'm firing up another book titled Jet-Boy Victory: Rocket Hero, for the second time. If the title doesn't make it obvious enough, it isn't a horror. I'm working with the extraordinarily talented Disa Wallander. Fleshing out some concepts for another book too. Damn. 
Lucas: An Excerpt II
Grandma. The corpse. Maybe. Still meaty but not enough to keep her leathery skin from drooping all over her. Eye sockets sit sagging behind stained glasses secured by some other woman's string of pearls. They fell out, her eyes, or maybe removed. No telling. Neither would surprise. In the right proximity to Grandma you can actually smell them; her eye sockets. They have an odor like no other. Indescribable. Awkward and unpleasant. The grip it takes on the gag reflex doesn't choke because it's pungent but just because of knowing where it comes from.
Lucas: An Excerpt I
She catches the silhouette of some behemoth to the side of her. Thick and strong, swollen, but somehow able to have gained on her. She steps into a cliché that snaps just above her ankle. She picks her face up out of the mud and forces a raspy scream, which in turn, is rudely interrupted by the end of a crutch knocking out three of her teeth.
Satellite Soda: Moving Foreward
This is the post where I want to spill the beans, but can't. Exciting things. You'll know more when I can tell you.Daily-Draw February
Apparently some high-powered individuals from the late Sketch Tavern got together with some high-powered individuals from Satellite Soda and had a baby. Not really. This was a project that had taken place on the Sketch Tavern website some time ago. It just took place on Satellite Soda and it was nuts. Huge turn out. So much insane artwork was generated by this. Check it out on Satellite Soda. I'm considering creating a collage with the work I did for this. But I'm not particularly thrilled with half of it. We'll see. It'll go up on Deviant Art if I do.Coming Down The Pipeline
Things have been a little slow, but not entirely. That I'm grateful for. There are going to be some new items available from Sideshow Collectibles in the not too distant future. Keep an eye out.Dust: Companion Prints
Available now on Deviant Art. The Dust: Precursor Companion Prints. These three prints have been designed around the free art book Dust: Precursor. The three pieces all go together. Think of it as one, sectioned piece. You can pick them up now here for $10 a piece. Each piece an 8 x 12 matte photo print. Buy them for yourself, your friends, your loved ones. Just buy them.Sideshow Collectibles: Jason Voorhees
Jason Vorhees , Sideshow Exclusive Edition. This piece was commissioned to accompany the Sideshow Collectibles Premium Format Figure. It's brilliant. The figure, along with the print, are limited to 200 and available for pre-order now on SideshowToy.com. You can view the image in my Deviant Art Gallery. The cool news is, there's more to come!My Favorite Nightmares
I've been commissioned for a couple pieces and I'm very excited about these ones. Childhood favorites. Childhood nightmares. Fun stuff. I've got the first piece almost done, the second is soon to follow. Once I've got the green light to show them off I'll have the pieces up on Deviant Art along with information on how and where to purchase them. Which translates to "a link". Follow it.Solomon Wakes
Over the next week I'm finally going to be wrapping this up. Lots of tweaks and polish. I'm looking forward to it. Once it's finished I may have an Issuu version available, if the details allow it. We'll see what outlet this finds itself.Ashcan Press
Eleven pieces total, all now available for viewing on Deviant Art. You can check them (Ashcan Press) out here.The Ashcan
A handful of covers commissioned by Ashcan Press. Various series. Really smart stories. They've got some great material up their sleeves. Hopefully, within the next month or so, I'll get the green light to share these with the world. Expect a follow up with a link to the pieces as well as the Ashcan Press website.Solomon Wakes
Book one nears completion and with its resurrection has come the injection of new work, panels and scenes alike, lettering, reworking the layout and presentation entirely. I'm really happy with how this is progressing. Gauging it optimistically, I'll have this wrapped up in about a month. 
Lucas
Lucas has moved on to the next phase of its evolution. I've canned the idea of the story-based--art-book. Now formated as a short horror, I am collaborating with Sukhbir P. and I'm really excited to turn this one out. I'm sticking the art-book concept on the back-burner for now. Jet-Boy: Victory. Rocket Hero
Another micro-project of mine. I'm currently collaborating with Zach C., a fellow illustrator whose work is going to be featured in Satellite Soda: Book 3 as well. His Flapjack-esque style is going to rock your world.Solomon Wakes
After a good deal of time away from this book I've found new inspiration. I've found that the publisher of this book is far from it. A licensing house that has little, even no, intentions of printing the stories it picks up, Solomon included. Live and learn. Along with the inspiration I'm finding my middle finger flying high. I'm doing this book the way I wanted to. I'm not going to stop using all those dot things. Lucas
Lucas is the dark little secret I've got brewing. A hybrid art book that compiles the work of various artists with one short, twisted tale of terror. The story and opening artwork has gone out to various publishers. We'll see where this goes.
Shwann: The Futuristic Samurai DJ
One piece done for the Shwann book. You can read up on it here. Lots of great artists contributed to this, check it out.
