Things That Go Bump in the Night

This is my piece for the Hellboy 20th Anniversary show. The show opens May 2nd at Hero Complex Gallery in LA. The show is featuring some heavy hitters like Mike Mignola (creator of Hellboy), C.F. Payne, Brent Engstrom and many, many more. I'm really excited to be a part of this show!

I'm excited to announce that my first Major Maddox comic, The Milk Run, is in the can and off to the printer!

I will have the comics with me at San Diego Comic-Con week after next. It's 48 pages of space adventure goodness! They will be selling for $10 each. You can find me at table M-9 in the Small Press area. After the convention, they will go on sale at The Manly Art Shop

In the meantime, you can read Major Maddox for free at www.majormaddox.com. The story will be updating weekdays until the story finishes in a few weeks. Go check it out!

Space Dillo!

Here is the art for a piece I'm doing for Austin Books & Comics' Labor Day sale. They wanted something with an atomic age comics vibe showcasing their mascot, Austin Books Man.

I really wanted to give it that old comics feel, so, after scanning my inks into Photoshop, I kept my palette pretty limited and set my inks layer slightly transparent to simulate the cheap black ink they used back in the day. It lets the overprint of the colors show through the black. I'll post the filnal poster once it's done. Click on the images to view them larger.
