Creatures For A Cure Art Print

 (click on image to make biggish)

About a year and a half ago I contributed a creature (the Gamera looking turtle) for this art jam piece for a worthy cause. This drawing made its way around the midwest and took just about all of that year and a half to complete. I was the third contributor so it has traveled a lot since then! 

Prints can be ordered from Asylum Publications and this was all put together by Paul Burke. Proceeds will go toward youth Cystic Fibrosis. You can get the details here.

The contributing artists for this piece are as follows alphabetically:

Steve Bejma    Mark Bloodworth    Seth Damoose    Dan Dougherty    Don England

Dedd Fredd    Bruce Gerlach    Arvell Jones    Vince Locke    Jamie Madrox    

John Marroquin    Tony Miello    Jason Moore   Marianna Pescosta

Michigan Comic Book Expo 2017

This Saturday I will be in the fine city of Wyandotte, MI for the Michigan Comic Book Expo. The event will be held at Yack Arena just off Eureka, near Biddle Ave. 

This will be an all day event and I will be there smiling despite the wrestling stuff going on. So, if you like pop culture, comics, cartoons, illustration and yes, wrestling, then stop on by. It will be a fun time!

Michigan Comic Book Expo

This Saturday is the Michigan Comic Book Expo and will be held at the Yack Arena (good name for a place to hang with some cartoonists) in Wyandotte, MI. Go to their site for all the pertinent info. There will be all sorts of good local and midwestern artists on hand, as well as some washed up wrestlers, if you're into that. WUW! Just having a little fun....

I hope that I don't get hurt.

Bodie Troll Cameo

I have been immortalized in comic book form. That's me chomping on the water melon (or should I say 'Shromping?') right in between likeness of Bill Pulkovski and Tony Miello. My cameo appears in Body Troll #4, which came out in the fall, by Jay Fosgitt and Red 5 Comics. Kind of cool, eh?

Portraits Of Poe, Part Four

As well as doing some sketch cards for the Portraits Of Poe set, I was able to do a base card too. I had already done a sketch card and an illi for the Poe story, The Conqueror Worm, so I wanted to do a different image, but keeping with the stage and actor motif, since this story was meant to be a play or about a play or some such thing. So, you will be able to find this card in sets of Portraits Of Poe by Rocket Ink Studios.

Portraits Of Poe, Part Three

This here is the third illustration that I provided for the Portraits Of Poe book that was recently put out by Rocket Ink Studios. This one is for the story, The Conqueror Worm. You can get a copy of the book through me or from Rocket Ink themselves.

Portraits Of Poe, Part Two

Here is the second illustration that I did for the Portraits Of Poe book put out by Rocket Ink Studios. You can get a copy from me or go to the Rocket Ink site.
