Some new things...

First off, I'll be signing at the following upcoming shows:

Jul 8... Richmond, VA - VA Comic Con
Aug 4-5... Allentown PA - Greater Allentown Show
Sept 29... Hershey, PA - Hershey Comic Show
Nov 3-4... Providence, RI - Rhode Island Comic Con

I'll be giving away exclusive art prints and/or exclusive cards at each !

-----------------------------------------------------

I wanted to share these new cards I've done for Unstoppable Cards for their "Avengers 50" set (The Avenger tv show from the BBC in the 1960s)...

These last ones above are a homage to the original Avengers comic book artists...

-----------------------------------------------------

The "Mac and Trouble" comic book is coming along fine - the format has been changed from single issues to graphic novels, which has been proven to sell better, and has a longer shelf life with retailers.
Also, this will give readers more 'bang for their buck' - 3+ issues and features for a price lower that 3 full issues.

The "Mac and Trouble Comfort Foods Cook Book" is also coming along nicely. Artists Dan Gorman and George Leon are working hard on their parts, and a 5page story has been added to the mix. This will be a great book !

More to come folks !

A Quickee

My inks on the awesome "face" pic by Joe Martino from JGM Comics.

It reminds me so much of a Starlin piece - 'Silver Surfer' bursting out through a force field, a tremendous struggle..

Check out www.jgmcomics.com for more on Joe !

Also... been working on some DC 52 Cards for Cryptozoic - it's been great but strict rules.

Have a good weekend everyone !

New Mac and Trouble art

Here's a few colored pieces from Dan Gorman and myself for upcoming "Mac and Trouble" comic projects... a secret is in the works !

My favorite is the one with he faces at top - I love the expressions and the storytelling involved...

New cards !

Complications from my recent surgery have slowed me down a bit, but I wanted to post some recent cards I've worked on.

These first few rows are from the Upper Deck "Marvel Beginnings 2" card set. I decided to do older Marvel monsters and pre-code characters. I was happy with the outcome...

These next few are from Ken Galan's "Contemporary Pinups" card set. Really a nice first issue from Ken Galan and I wish him luck with his future endeavors. I had studio shots made of them because I liked the look of silhouettes.

Finally, for Cult-Stuff's "Titanic" set, I did this sketchy shot of the Titanic captain's statue in England. Really a nice set, looking forward to it.

Obviously, I did more cards for these sets - but I can't share them all :)

Enjoy !
