I wish digital comics would embrace collections/trades more. I don't want five $3 digital comics, I want one complete arc at $9.99 (or less)

02/3/2012 09:59 AM
Devoured @joe_hill's 'Locke & Key' vol. 1 (loved it!) via @comixology. Went to buy vol. 2? Doesn't exist as collection, only vols. 1 & 3...

01/31/2012 06:39 PM
For example, from two floors up "Baby girl needs Cheetos!!" #thingsmypregnantwifesays

01/31/2012 06:37 PM
Now that the news is out there that @SweetDlite and I are having a baby (girl), I can talk about all the ridiculous things she says & does.

01/31/2012 10:44 AM
Forcing myself to try sketching with pencil. Usually a blue pencil/ink kind of guy. http://t.co/K7lh7uNi

I would love a clear answer on ruling an 11x17 sheet for live, trim and bleed. There's a different answer for every post on it. #comics

illustrations
Disguise
I think when I think of the idea of "Disguise", I tend to think of it in a more whimsical sense than traditionally depicted. I see Jane ...

Influence
Trying to capture that moment of influence; the point when the poision slowly gets dripped in your ear, and your opinions are shaped for ...

Swell
A giant machine for baking cakes and pastries? What could possibly go wrong? Trying to push my color palette and understanding of ...

Ghost Girl and Old Man
This piece initially started off as a rough sketch that while not perfect, I liked enough to see it through. I have a definite affinity to ...

Soaked
This was another topic from "Illustration Friday", and I decided to revisit my character from the piece "Bottled". I really wanted to try ...

Bottled
Another Illustration Friday topic, this time "Bottled". I'd been drawing this guy on scraps of paper for weeks prior to this, and decided ...

Space Girl
A never completely realized drawing for the topic "Space Girl". I found this in an old sketchbook and decided to give it a proper finish.

Koru
A re-design of "Koru", the main character from my Fablewood story. Given that she walks the ghost haunted countryside with a samurai sword, ...

Chicken
One of the stranger ideas I've come up with, but I love the juxtaposition of the cartoony stuffed bunny and the robotic chicken monsters.

Deja Vu
I took this as a more literal interpretation of the topic of "Deja Vu", done for the Illustration Friday topic of the same name.

Resolutions
One of those rare times where an idea I had came out almost precisely how I imagined, regardless of how strange I may have imagined it. ...

Tree Spirit
A character that grew out of a short story pitch to become a major part of a larger story. So many tree branches...

Ghost Punk
The term 'Geisterpunk' (or 'Ghost Punk'), after a 1925 German pulp story. This illustration was both my literal interpretation of it, and ...

Evil Genius
Lots of subtext in this one. I wanted a really scrawny Evil Genius, over-compensating in every way. This is the evil genius equivalent of ...

Frankenstein
I wanted to try something new with Frankenstein for this image. I always pictured something stitched together from so many parts would ...

Where The Wild Things Are
This was right around the time the Spike Jonze movie was in theatres. To be honest, I've never read the story all the way through, but I ...

Spider-Man
Super heroes are not usually my thing, but I really liked working on this one. I figured everyone else has Spidey swinging through the ...

Design A Deity - Akamushi
My entry into the "Design a Deity" contest. Akamushi means "blood worm" in Japanese. Done using mechanical pencil and Photoshop.

The Monkey King
Sun Wukong, the Monkey King. Just a quick take, using one pen size and photoshop.

Pacman
Another classic video game. The idea here was to only use pure CMYK values in the colors.

Classic Video Games
Strange how we never questioned the fact that you needed to blow in the carts to get the games to play. We just accepted it as part of the ...

Witch
An experiment with an artist friend. No more than an hour on the picture. I love the design of the creature in the back, but the Witch's ...

Amazing Joy Buzzards - Pinup
A pinup done for the latest volume of "The Amazing Joy Buzzards" by Mark Andrew Smith and Dan Hipp.

Giant Monster!
He just wants to see what's for lunch. No harm in that.

Yeti
I like the idea of a Yeti the size of a mountain. I don't think you'd be able to remain a secret all this time like that though.

Zombies
I've had a love for zombies for quite some time. I blame "Zombies Ate My Neighbours" on the SNES.

Dinosaurs
I used to be absolutely obsessed with Dinosaurs as a kid. Somehow I don't think they'd take kindly to you snooping around their eggs...

Triplets
Another Drawer Geeks topic I was stumped on. Not too sure where this originated, but I ended up really enjoying the results.

Samurai
I couldn't resist drawing a samurai. Limited palette experiment again, with limited success.

Tarzan
This was a turning point for me, artistically. I really pushed myself for this one, and it has informed a lot of my work since.

Monsters Under the Bed
Monsters under the Bed. Amazing the little guy can sleep through the whole thing.

Galactus
The planet eater himself. I can't shake the feeling that he should have a turntable in front of him though.

Lord of the Rings - Ent
Lord of the Rings. Ents. Giant tree people will always be cool. Always.

Lord of the Rings - Nazgul
Lord of The Rings. Nazgul. Pretty straight forward picture for me I think. Trying out grayscale with just a hint of color.

Rednecks
Red Necks. Sometimes I'm not even sure where the idea comes from...

Aqua Leung - Pinup
A pinup that appeared in the graphic novel, "Aqua Leung" by Mark Andrew Smith & Paul Maybury

Elves
A Christmas Picture, on the idea of "Elves". This is the Elf Polar Rescue Squad, saving a baby Polar Bear.

Star Belly
The idea was "Starbelly" (of Dr. Seuss fame). I decided to go for my own interpretation.

Design a Sith
For the Drawer Geeks theme, "Design Your Own Sith". I tried sort of a low budget, wastelands type Sith.

Universal Monsters
The classic Universal monsters. I personally think the Wolf Man turned out the best.

Cleopatra
My first official entry for Drawer Geeks. The theme was cleopatra, and I went with the story of her demise.

Alone
A character/mood study for a story that never materialized. I like the style though, and I'd like to revisit it soon.

The Spirits and The Woods
A panel from 'The Spirits & The Woods', found in Fablewood Vol. 1. All digital, done overtop ballpoint pen rough thumbs.

Nautical
Heavy Bioshock influence here. One of the best games I've played, and completely engrossing.

Robot! Ninja!
Just a silly sort of lunch time experiment. You can't beat a robot, a ninja and a trident in the same picture.

Lady of the Marsh
Trying out some horror-themed stuff here. I think I had just finished reading "Museum of Terror" by Junji Ito.

The Spirits and The Woods - Working Piece
This was my initial character/mood study for the story that would become 'The Spirits & The Woods', featured in Fablewood. I initially ...

Rocket Robot
A character of mine that I'm never quite sure what to do with. Very whimsical ideas around this one.

Mannequin
An idea I never fully developed, this was one of my first forays into digital colors, and inking in Photoshop. I learned a lot from this ...
