pot-kettle-thumb Hope you guys will enjoy my brother Dave’s latest video on the making of a Swoop comic. Once again, he makes me look like a natural… although he did insist on showing me white something out [...]

Love is Like War

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Love is Like War I’m really enjoying my brother’s latest music video, and not just because my brother made it. It’s really, really, cool. It’s loaded with the coolness [...]

Graphic Novel Viz Devs

Graphic Novel Viz Devs

Hey everybody, I’ve been gearing up to write a full length graphic novel and thought it’d be fun to show some of the early sketches. Obviously, I can’t give away the story or the really fun visual stuff, but these should at least give you an idea of what kind of story it might be and who the main characters are [...]

Happy Tooth Fairy Day

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

Happy Tooth Fairy Day I found out that today is National Tooth Fairy Day. Actually, there’s some debate on whether it falls on August 22nd, or February28th, the latter being my birthday… which is problematic [...]

Comic-Con Recap

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

comic-con I couldn’t ask for a better first-time experience being behind a booth at a comic convention. Admittedly, I was nervous of the fact that I was going to be in the Flight booth, signing books for a very well known series [...]

Coloring Contest!

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

Coloring Contest! The Exploring Ecosystems coloring book came out not too long ago, and as I “slyly” hinted before, I thought it’d be fun to have a coloring contest for kids. Well, here it is! The prizes? Original black and white artwork from the book! They’ll be hand stamped and signed too. So if you haven’t already, you better pick up a copy along with a box of crayons as soon as you can, and get colorin’! [...]

Early Bird Painters Are Back

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

Early Birds Are Back Some of you may remember that I used to meet up with a bunch of other artists early in the morning for pre-workday painting sessions. We even had a gallery show last year. Then we all got really busy and it sort of died out…

Well, it’s a new season and the weather has been gorgeous (aside from the 20 degree spike in heat… that was a bit much), so we’re at it again [...]

Happy Patriots’ Day!

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Happy Patriots Day I thought this would be a “belated” happy Patriots’ Day post, but according to Wikipedia, it’s celebrated on the third Monday of April. It’s easy to forget since it’s really only celebrated in Massachusetts or Maine… here in California, I spent the day mowing the lawn and removing a wasp nest from the shed… not your typical fanfaire to commemorate the Battle of Lexington and Concord [...]

Sketchcrawl 22

Monday, April 13th, 2009

sclogosmall-thumb I attended the 22nd Sketchcrawl this past Saturday. What a beautiful day for it, too! For those who are not familiar with Sketchcrawl, it’s a gathering of artists in a critical mass type fashion, who then sketch from life all afternoon, sometimes moving from location to location. It takes place on the same day world-wide, so after the whole thing wraps up, there’s a whole lot of artwork to see [...]
