Heroes

Last night I watched a show on NBC called, "Heroes." The basic plot is a group of people around the world, discover that they have super powers. So far they only introduced the first patch of heroes and you get a peek at what each can do. The show also hinted at a potential villain and disaster that'll happen to NY .

The show definately holds my interest. The characters are interesting, especially the Japanese desk jockey that became a teleporter, Hiro Nakamura played by Masi Oka. I'll be catching the next show for sure and hope it will get bigger and better.

I did a quick wallpaper of Niki Sander (Ali Larter) for the PSP. Just click on the image, then right click to save to your computer or in the photo folder of your PSP.

Comic review for Point Pleasant #2

There's a review for a comic I worked on last year... HERE. I did the interior art (pencil and ink), story by Chad Lambert, and cover by Ryan Scott.

You can order the comic and check out the 5 page preview... HERE.

Sad news...

Let me start from the beginning. I used to live in Kelso and one of my grade school friend is Lori Hamm. When I moved to Chicago for a year, we wrote each other a few times. My family moved back to Kelso then to Chehalis and that was my last contact with Lori. Fast forward to today, in my studio... I just hooked up a tv and listening to the news. Then I heard these words, "... Lori Hamm... murdered.." For some reason, I never forgot her name. I went on the web and found this site. http://lori.4ourangel.com/ The suspect that did this horrible crime is caught. Sigh... looking back, I wish I kept in touch with Lori. Not sure what else to say except my condolence to Lori's family.

Illustration Friday: Portrait

Remember the school portrait you used to get. Each time I did it... there's always one thing that went wrong like the hair is out of place, zits broke out, eyes half way shut, bad facial hair, or wearing some lame clothes. This pic is the combo of all of that... yikes!

Spooky Sammy sketch

Spooky Sammy is a character that I would like to develop more. She started out in my short micro comic from my first time at the artist alley, at the Seattle Con.... about 4 years ago. I hope to bring the character back in a regular comic size format someday.

Super Real sketch

One of the cool thing about going to the con, is to meet other artists. At the Emerald con, I got to talk to Jason Martin Of Super Real comic. He's a really nice guy and we drew in each other sketch book. Above is the sketch I got from Jason... check out my Perry Platypus on the hat. :)


Jason also dropped off a few copies of Super Real #2 with my cover art! That was the first time I saw it in print. Inside is a interview of me.... god, I hope I don't sound like a dweeb. If you see it in the comic store, please pick it up. For more Super Real action... check out Jason's site and blog!

Emerald City ComiCon 2006

Emerald City ComiCon 2006! Karin and Suzanne selling everything in their inventory. Check out Karin's site for more con photos.

What's a comic con without storm troopers? These guys were awesome. They came by my table and chat with me and Paul for a few minutes. Found out that their helmets have a built in mike system so you can hear them talk, just like in the movies.

From the left... it's Shane, Gene, and Bart. On the right side and not in the picture.... it's Paul, Augie, and Dev's table . Overall, I had a great time at the con. Friday night, I was so busy preparing that I only got a couple of hours of sleep. I hang in there and had a good time talking to folks and doing sketches. The not so good thing was the attendance. It was noticeable less this year. This is the first time the convention opened in April and with the weather being nice... folks just did other stuff outside... that's one theory anyway. Well, who knows... I still had a great time hanging out with my art pals and fellow comic geeks.

Again, thank you Paul for providing the pics.

Gallery party report

Last Friday, we had the launch/gallery party at All City Coffee. It was a blast with James McDaniel as our DJ and free Neon Brown cd given out with Atomic Lead comic purchase.

Here's the signing table where all the artists sketch on the back of the comic.

Above... few pieces of original pages by Dev Madan.

Overall, everything went pretty smoothly. The one bad thing is.... I split beer over the Steve (the owner of All City Coffee) pants. Sorry Steve! I'm such a klutz.

Thanks Paul for letting me use the photos. Tomorrow, photos from the Emerald City ComiCon.

Scarlet Fields:cover comp

Scarlet Field is a comic that I hope to finish up and be out sometime this year. I wrote, pencil, and in the process of inking it. Haven't done a whole book like this in about 10+ years. Allen Freeman is going to color it.

This is the first comp for the cover. There's going to be lots more tweaks and addition to the art.

Fan-Atic Press is publishing the book!
