Sketchbook!


Well, here it is! The cover to my very first sketchbook! Hopefully, everything goes alright with the printing and that it turns out ok.

It's Rogue, Sugah!

Rogue, from the famous Jim Lee era of the X-Men. X-Men #1, which was drawn by Jim Lee, was the first mainstream comic that i ever picked up. It was the comic that got me totally into comics and it changed life. The dynamic characters and the amazing layouts by Lee inspired my style for years and got me into drawing the type of stuff that you see from me today!

Zatanna!


The Mistress of Magic herself!

Lucky Leyla!

Diana of Themyscira

After watching the Wonder Woman animated feature that came out a couple of weeks ago, i just HAD to do another drawing of Diana. The film was too phenomenal for words. Director Lauren Montgomery (who is one of the most amazing artists out there) and her team put together one of the greatest comic animated features ever. If you haven't checked it out, please go out and do so now!

Who watches the Silk Spectre?

Despite what a lot of people are saying, i actually thought the Watchmen movie was good. While i do have my gripes and nit picks about certain things, I fele that it is probably the best that we could possibly get when translating it to a 3 hour movie. I mean, look how detailed the book is! It's basically would be impossible to be able to adapt all of that and still manage to keep the average movie goers interest for an extended period of time.

FX International and Facebook!

Be sure to come out to the FX International at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando on April 17th-19th! It will be my first con ever in the creators area! I'll be selling sketchbooks, prints and the last remaining proofs to my Marvel Masterpieces cards from last year (trust me, they look waaaay better than the actual cards i did). Plus, they are signing guests like crazy for this thing. They got Leonard Nimoy for crying out loud! Leonard FREAKING Nimoy lol! Come on now, you know you want to go....

Total Drama Island


I have to admit that i'm a big fan of TDI. The vast variety of characters and how each one relates to a certain style/genre of people is what really intrigues me. Lindsay will be the first of many drawings i do relating to this wonderful series (well, hopefully).
Can't wait for Total Drama Action to start up here in the states!

Let there be chaos!


Eris, Goddess of Chaos from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy. Another colored sketch for my sketchbook that is due out next month for FX. I'm trying to incorporate a few more pieces from cartoons in it so that its just not bogged down with pin-ups and heroines. Maybe i'll throw in some characters from Total Drama Island or something....

Logos and Megacon


Here are some of the logos i used for T-shirts at Megacon this year. Let me just say that Megacon was a blast! So many cool costumes and good times meeting people i have only seen and conversed with online. It's making me get hyped up even more for FX next month.....and a little bit more nervous.....
