Media Update

I just renewed my library card and raided the graphic novel section. SO, I've been doing some reading lately. 

I blew through Futures End Vol. 3.  I had been reading the series in singles that I'd been buying in the dollar bins at shows.  That penultimate issue though, with that thing that happens, is kind of a rare bird.  At least, an expensive bird. I LIKED IT. There's some probs that always happen with weekly books: inconsistent art, dangling plots, etc.  Overall, FUN BOOK. 

I also read Sex Criminals Vol 2.  It's better than the first volume, but if wasn't a library book, I would never have continued with the series.

Also read Convergence: Flashpoint Book 1.  It has the 2-part minis from Superman, The Question, the "Justice League", Batgirl and Nightwing/ Oracle.  These are the scenarios where the heroes encounter the Flashpoint worlds characters... hence the name of the book... and generally fight. The Superman story was good, maybe the best in the book. The Question was good, The Justice League kinda sucked, Batgirl was good. It was nice to see Stephanie in the suit again. Nightwing/ Oracle was good. Those Flashpoint Hawks do not fuck around.

More soon. I've still got 5 trades from that trip waiting for me on my coffee table.

Comics

Slender Man

Well, the girls in the Slender Man case are going to be tried as adults, and Mike Pence is appearing solo at a rally tonight.  That's a bunch of bad out in Wacky-sha tonight. 

Here's a fun Slender Man illustration I did for 'Monster Hunters: On the Trail with Ghost Hunters, Bigfooters, Ufologists, and Other Paranormal Investigators' by Tea Krulos.

Also, rest in peace Jack Davis. You were one of the best.

Queen Amidala, The Phantom Menace. Painted in Photoshop CS5 using Kyle T Webster brushes. Not one of those weirdos, but we'll get back to them soon enough.

The Twisted Adventures of Stinko: We're All Gonna Burn

This winter is evidence, right? These tornados in Texas, the 50 degree weather in the midwest... This is the greenest Christmas ever. We're in trouble here everybody. Conserve your water. The desert is coming.

Throg and C2E2

I'll be at table R5 in the artists alley this year at C2E2.  I've got a bunch of new prints and comics.  Here's a brand new piece: Throg!

Painted Gun Case

I painted my old mans pistol case over the summer.  He said make "R" rated, then he got a little upset when he saw the BOOBS. 

He did tell me that everyone at the range thought it was pretty cool and not too dirty, so... in your face Dad?

Interview With PSU.tv from Wizard World Portland

I did a brief interview with PSU.tv while in Portland for Wizard World.  My segment starts at 9:46.



The whole vid is worth checking out.  It's short and sweet.  Thanks guys!

I've also thrown up another in-progress post over at the Ballyhoo blog.  This vids posted there, too.

Vintage Pig Portrait Commision

I was commissioned to paint this lovely picture of a friends sisters new pet pig.

Iguchis "Zombie Ass": Watch while eating.

While my lovely girlfriend and I make breakfast in the morning, we like to have something to watch going in the background.  I turned on some Mighty Morphin Power Rangers but halfway through the first Putty fight, she turns it off, flips through Netflix for a while and lands on Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead.  Holy Shit, a new Champion has emerged.

This movie has EVERYTHING. Puking, farting, schoolgirl uniforms, a shower scene, teen suicide, completely over-the-top action sequences, a nerd, shit, tits, evil scientists, a van full of sexy teens, drugs, a flying eyeball, etc. etc. etc.

If you're looking for a thoroughly entertaining hour and twenty minutes, I can not recommend Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead highly enough.

Lettering

Zipping Right along

This one's a shot of how I'm actually working on the tones.  I've got an adjustment layer over the dots so I can distinguish it from the line art more easily.  Dig it.
