Go! Curious, let me know.

I'll be livestreaming a drawing starting at 2:30 eastern time... check it out if you want.

And I'm done.
THanks for stopping by.

It's that time of the year again, where I, Oprah and Tom Selleck share a birthday.  My hope is that, if you want to do something nice, you'll use our birthdays as an excuse to donate to the Alzheimer's Association.  Alzheimer's is dreadful and has affected a couple people close to me, and I hope you will lend a hand if you see fit!
If you are interested, you can hop over to their website here:

Also, there's also a 27% off sale at my art dealers for my bday.  [link]

Hope everyone is having a fantastic first month of the year!

MRG!

Merry Holidays, whatever they may be. Hope you have a good one peoples!

You can finally find my artwork online for purchase through Cadence Comic Art. Check it out, and look through the other great artists' work as well.  There are more pages getting uploaded in my section because it takes me forever to get Paolo pages.  My fault, not his.  The Suicide Squad stuff should be up there shortly!
Thanks!

Suicide Squad #1 comes out today.  I did about half the art in it with Scott Hanna inking.  Check it out if you want.  Probably my last comic work for the foreseeable future.  I don't really have plans on doing more, but more on that in a soon to come journal.  Thanks!

Issue two, that I was lucky enough to draw a bunch of, comes out today. Pick it up and let me know what you think!

Preview: [link]

Well, after a long long LONG wait, my last issue of Guarding the Globe comes out today.  Man, it's been a long time coming with that book as I finished it back in April.  So if you check it out, let me know what you think!

My move over to DC has been going along nicely!  Thanks to those that picked up Adventure Comics #528!  Just finished up War of the Green Lanterns Aftermath #2, and I'm excited to get that in people's hands.  Drawing those GL's was a complete blast, and drawing random GL's is a lot of fun.  It's a fun story, so give it a shot!

Solicitations for my next project are up, I'm doing work in the DCnU's Suicide Squad.  After being in space with Green aliens, it'll be fun to jump back into the real world, plus, Harley Quinn? It's going to be a blast!

Sorry for the shameless self-promotion, but... not really.

As long as Guarding the Globe #5 comes out today (which is 50/50), I've got two books coming out this very Wednesday. I've been aching for you guys to get to see the pages for this issue as they've been done for a long time.  Issue 5 will be my last with GTG, but I leave it in very capable hands!  Thanks to Kirkman and crew for the great run and getting to draw all the fun characters!

That being said, I also have a couple pages in Adventure Comics 528 coming out today. Super cool that I've gotten to work for Marvel, Mr Kirkman, and now DC in my very short career.  Here is a preview of artwork in the issue I did not draw!

Super fun working for DC and though the characters were a little foreign to me, I had some fun. The next project I've been working on, has a lot of characters closer to my heart! More on that later, but if you give these books a try, let me know what you think!

At 10:35, I'm Livestreaming.

Thanks for stopping by

This was my first time going to a show in, essentially, my backyard.  What convenience!  It was very bizarre doing the con weekend sleeping in your own bed as opposed to some hotel.  But you probably aren't reading this to hear about my compare and contrast dissection of the living situations.

The show itself was pretty fun.  High points were getting to chat with Mark Morales, and getting to sit with Ryan Ottley, Cliff Rathburn, and Nate Bellegarde (along with his fancy female partner).  Was also nice meeting James Harren and Scott Wegener (whom I apparently met last summer in an airport but we were distracted by the ridiculous uber-hipster who was sitting beside us. what shame!).  I stayed pretty busy and was surprised by some of the folks I recognized that stopped by.  High school and college people are always fun to catch up with.  
However, not everything always works out smoothly.  Midway through the day, and more so after the show, I started to feel pretty terrible health-wise again.  Being sick at shows is terrible. I apologize to those that stopped by, but I had purel so calm yourselves.  Went out for Japanese in a big group, Scott was kind enough to order for my ignorant mind.  Went back to Ryan and Cliff's room and watched and aided, in Ryan getting massacred by just about everyone in the new Mortal Kombat.  Felt dreadful, called it a night. Barely remember through the sick daze the T ride and walk home.  Do remember having to share a hotel elevator ride with a transvestite prostitute.

To be honest, really wasn't feeling going in for day 2 at all.  Wasn't in the mood but seeing as how my pages were still at my table.....  my drive was already planned.  Arrived a stylish 2 and half hours late, and enjoyed a slow last day.  Said goodbyes, packed up and left.  When asked by the parking garage attendant if I was there to watch the red sox game, I replied "no." I believe this decision tacked on an extra 13$ to my bill. Ugh.

Later in my drive I sort of managed to get in an argument with a police officer.  He was acting as a traffic cop holding his hand up, to which I stopped. He then made a motion to move forward, I did. Quickly he flashed a stop signal, so I slam on the breaks.  He then again motions to move through. At this point... I've got tunnel vision of this guy's possessed traffic hand, and start to edge forward.  You can imagine my surprise when he punches the hood of my 2mph moving car and begins to yell at me.  I lower my window to apologize and explain that he was really beginning to be confusing and that it wasn't necessary to hit my car.  I got to the words "I'm.." in I'm sorry, before he cut me off with, "what do you want to hit these kids?"  How does one respond to this?  Sarcasm? "Yes, officer, it actually was one of my goals for the day."  Straight? "No officer, I did not intend to hit those kids today..."  I went with option two.  He asked me what I was thinking, and I paused to think about the ramifications of answering that I was trying to figure out how someone so incompetent was in charge of not only traffic, but of securing children's safety.  It was at this time that he accuses me of being on drugs because I look out of it and starts questioning me about which ones I'm on.  One thought comes to mind at this point.... "It is wrong that you are not allowed to say 'Fuck You' to a police officer when they act like a fucking jackass"  I tell him I'm on no illegal drugs, and he claims he doesn't believe me (still blocking the intersection while kids skip by in the longest child procession ever. Though they weren't there when I edged forward.)  I tell him "I'll pull over and you can run any drug test you want on me, but I do have a nasty case of the flu." He lets me go, I swear and cough and barely breath for the rest of the ride/day. Ass hole.

I just might be making my way to the show this weekend.  I've been under the weather but think I'll try to rally.  If I'm there, I'll have a booth next to Mr Ryan Ottley, Cliff Rathburn, and Nate Bellegarde.  Yay team Invincible universe.  Swing by and say hello.  I will have pages and might be up for doing a few sketches.

Finally!  Guarding the Globe 3 comes out today.  It seems like I did this thing forever ago! Big thanks to our inking team of and our poor letterer for having to put up with one jerk of a two page spread.  I also got to ink 6 pages myself and will be putting some pages up in a bit. Thanks for taking a look at it!

Also: My birthday is this Saturday and while I don't usually like making a fuss, this year I suppose I need to promote it.  I've decided to start a page for donations to the American Cancer Society.  You can visit the a page here: [link]
Check it out, (yes I know that the 1$mill is a joke) and if you feel so inclined to give a donation, your help would definitely be going to a good cause!  It's more important now, more than ever, because I recieved news recently, of another good artist is battling some really aggressive cancer. So thanks for looking, and thanks for donating if you feel so inclined!

Livestreaming the good old Layout process....again.

[link]

Thanks for stopping by!

Livestreaming some layout stuff for maybe an hour. Swing by, call me a jerk. It'll be fun.... or don't.
[link]

UPDATE:
Thanks to those that stopped by. Go out and have a fun safe New Years!


Working on a sketch, doing some layout stuff on the livestream for a short short short amount of time. Stop by and laugh at my lack of knowledge for this future technology!

Issue 2 comes out along with the reprint of the first issue today. So if you missed the first one, get both and get caught up. Let me know what chu think?

NYCC is quickly approaching.  I've been looking forward to it all year! And now, I won't be going. Too much work to get on top of at home, sigh.  Oh well, but I hope everyone in attendance has a blast.  Do stop by the Image booth and say hi to Mr. Kirkman though!  More updates will be coming on when I plan another convention outing. Those will be the places to find me for sketches, because, although I'll be finishing the rest of my current list, I will NEVER be taking internet commissions again, ha.  
Hope you are all having a good one!

Guarding the Globe # 1 is out today.
Big thanks to Robert, Benito, Thomas Mason and Chris G for the collaboration!
Check it out and let me know what you think!

Also, be sure to check out Science Dog by Cory Walker and a little book called Invincible 74. Wait what? One issue of Invincible isn't enough for you? Well get the 13th trade of Invincible as well!

As my last entry mentioned, I'm off to Charlotte in a week.  If you are going to the show, though I don't know the exact table #, swing by.  I should have sketches, pages, and I'll be doing some sketches.  Who knows what other stuff I'll bring.  I'll probably be doing mostly torso sketches, with full on commissions being a little more open.  Note me if you will be attending and want a sketch, as I might be able to knock out a few before then.  

Oh and if you stop by, tell me your deviant name thingy, as it helps me remember people throughout the year. ha.  Hope to see yous there.
