Voltron: United and Drawn

I just received my comp copies for the Voltron: United and Drawn book put out by 5Finity and Moonstone Books. I did the above painting (page 74) for the book last April, so it's nice to finally have the finished product in hand and it is a nice looking book. Kudos go to Steven Frank for putting together a great package and I'm always appreciative for being asked to be a part of something like this.

For those who know me, they know that I am not much of a fan of Voltron (hey, he's no Shogun Warrior!), but I think that I did a good job with the character and making him my own. I chose to do a pin-up style approach, as well.

Anyways, the book retails at $29.99 at all your fave book outlets and I have two copies that I can part with, so if your interested, shoot me an e-mail and we can haggle. I'll throw in a sketch to boot!

Shiver On The River 2011

This Saturday (5th), from 10am to 3pm Belle Isle will once again host the winter funfest called Shiver On The River. The Aquarium, Conservatory, and Casino will all be open to the public and there will be various crafts and other winter like activities for one and all. I will be at the aquarium selling fish related cartoon prints (all proceeds will go to helping in the reopening of the aquarium) and doing fishy sketches for the kids. So come on down and chill. Literally.

Muck Man!

Here is Muck Man as drawn by fellow cartoonist Denver Brubaker. He did a great job, didn't he? You can check out Denver's Tales Of A Checkered Man here. My first fan art!

Muck Man #11

Muck Man faces possibly his most dangerous foe: Pharmaceutical Propaganda!

MSU Comics Forum 2011

It looks like my convention season will be starting a heck of a lot earlier than I expected. Tomorrow (Saturday 21st), I will be set up in Artist's Alley at the MSU Comics Forum located on the MSU campus. For all the pertinent details go here. There will be some great artists on hand for you to check out, including Jay Jacot (thanks for the invite!), Denver Brubaker (Tales Of A Checkered Man), David Petersen (Mouse Guard) and Bill Pulkovski. This show is a little different from the ones that I usually set up at, so it should be interesting.

Star Wars Galaxy 6 sketch cards, part two

Here are a few more of my Galaxy 6 cards that should be released soon from Topps. A special thanks must go out to my friend Thomas Spanos, who provided some wonderful reference pics of him dressed as Darth Bane. To see this creation (Darth Bane) in person is quite a sight.

Trains Of Thought, part three

Some images from last weeks gallery opening:
