Hello again good people. I am comin' to you after a loooong time away but with good reason. Over the past few months as you may know I have been busy wrapping up some really cool projects Wonder Girl, the Method Man GN, not to mention several other projects outside of comics. Most of it I can't really announce just yet. But will most def keep ya'll posted. On that note last year I had the privilege of going to London on behave of Warner Brothers to work on some special projects for the latest BATMAN movie. Yes me... in London... working with the BATMAN franchise. Can it get any cooler than that?!? I am just mentioning this because it's really the first time I could! The folks at WB were VERY specific that I keep my mouth shut until the time was right. So I held on to this news for months... and months, now I can gush! Anyway I will soon post some of the art we did for merchandise and production while we were in London. However, I may have to wait for a few more months. So stay tuned!
Like I said earlier just got done with a few projects and soon will be able to announce my next few gigs! Hopefully by San Diego Comic Con I will be able to talk about a few of those! Speaking of which, I will be attending the SDCC this year and bringing the full arsenal of goodies! Which includes...the
DEADLINES VOL 2 sketchbook deluxe. That is the signed book, an original sketch and a free cd of music from my website! But that's just the tip of the iceberg! I will also have the WONDER GIRL trade which just hit stores and the
METHOD MAN GN which will debut at SDCC! Me and Method along with the writer David Atchison will be signing on Saturday 12:30 pm shortly after the black panel which I think will be in the celebrity autograph area. I must warn you. I am not sure how many books will be for sale at there so I will just say come to the panel on friday and find out or, you can drop by my table which is in artist alley.
Finally, after a few years I decided to bring back a fan favorite. I recently completed a
cross-over print (SEE NEW IMAGES). For those of you who aren't familiar with my cross-over prints. I basically take a popular anime and a popular movie and cross them over to create a fresh new take. This time I took it a step further. I hope fans will really dig! Check out a little preview! Anyway like I said if you are coming out to SDCC I'll be in artist alley signing and selling!!! Look the banner with my name on it! See ya there!

Hello all! Sorry for the long layoff. But as always I have a VERY good reason. I got lots of cool stuff to share so let me get started! First thing is I just finished the GN for Method Man and I must say this book is gonna be pretty awesome. I spoke to Mef recently and he's like a kid bursting with excitement! He has already got movie people askin' him about this book! In fact there's a buzz already on
"Entertainment Weekly's web site!". So look for lots of cool promotional deals comin' up in the near future. One big promotional deal is Mef (and maybe a few other WU members) will be signing along with myself and the rest of the creators at San Diego ComicCon in July. More details about that later as well. I think the book is going to launch 1st at ComicCon then will be released everywhere after that. So get ready!!! Now a few more tid bits.
I'm doing some cool stuff outside of comic as well. I will be working with "UPPER DECK!"and the NFL to design more NFL stars for vinyl figures! You may have seen some of the of the recent figures on the market. Some of the figures were designed by my boys Sean " cheeks " Galloway and Sean Chen. So I guess I will have to put my 2 two cents in on this next set of figures! Look for the figures later in the year!!! Got a few other thing happening but can't really say just yet but I can guarantee you'll have full details when it all comes together!!!
Now finally for all the tons of emails, phone calls and folks at conventions who ask me about how could they get the music I have on my web site. I have some cool news. I conjunction with my DEADLINES VOL 2 sketchbook there will be an exclusive DEADLINES vol 2 instrumentals CD! That's right! A cd featuring all of the music you hear on my site along with some new joints that will be found only on the CD! The unfortunate thing is that the CD is limited and will be an exclusive at the NY and SD ComicCon. The only way you can get the cd is to request a sketch in the deadlines book and the cd will be yours for FREE!!! You can't beat that with a baseball bat!!!
But... I know what some of you are sayin'... "Awwww man that sucks for those of us who aren't goin' to those cons!" Oh but have faith my good people there's a good chance you may be able to order the book and get the free cd as well, but it may not happen until fall of this year. But to start things off my first stop is NYCC, so get ready my people! See ya April 18-20!! Look for me in artist alley and at DC comics booth!!!

Ok... It's been a minute but for good reason. The holiday season is gone and now time to get ready for Con Season!!! To start the season off right I will be makin' a return to
"MegaCon", after not attending for a few years(Dates: March 7th –9th 2008)!! I'll have my sketchbook
"DEADLINES VOL. 2" available for sale. You can get the regular version OR you can get the deluxe version with an original drawing of your choice!!! I will also be signing at the H.E.R.O Initiative booth on that Friday 1:30-2:30 so be sure to drop by and catch up!!!
Also with the successful Wonder Girl mini series wrapped up, (more DC news later) I am now focusing most of my attention to the "Method Man/Wu-Tang Graphic Novel". I will post some art from the GN soon. I'm really excited about this project and it's already gettin' a lot of buzz!!! I am approaching this book with some new daring attempts. It's dirty and gritty with a lot of fast pace action. So hopefully I can pull this off. I can tell you this, Method Man with writer David Atchison(writer of the acclaimed comic O.C.T.) has some SICK ideas!!! Let's put it this way... This book can be the hip hop version of DEVIL MAY CRY!!! No need to say much more than that!!! ...for now..... :D

Hello all!!! Got a some cool news for ya!! I have an interview in the December issue of
"Geek Magazine ". It's an awesome mag about all the things geeks love. (I am including myself ) They did a really cool interview with me and featured my current Wonder Girl project. It's one of the best interviews I ever had. So go to your local Books-A-Million, Borders or even a comic shop near you and pick it up. That is if you are a true geek. :D
P.S. -- The Store is coming/under construction, so I can hook everyone up with their "DEADLINES vol. 2" fix. Thank you for patience.

SCAD 2007 Comics Art Forum!!!
I just got done with the 2007 Comics Art Forum at SCAD ( Savannah College of Art and Design ). I was invited as a guest to do a workshop on dynamic comic page layouts and character design. The workshop was super packed!! It was a real blast to see such a large turn outt !!! The students were really eager to learn and grow as artists. It was a refreshing and inspiring to witness. There was a really good list of guest this year as well. All who are super talented!! I was honored to be apart of such a list. The guest this year included : Jeff Parker, Bernard Chang, Heidi Arnhold, Kaz Strzepek, Clement Sauve, Chris Appelhans, Mark Schultz, Jill Thompson, and Chris Brunner. We ate, hung out, sketched, ate, traded artwork, ate, took tons of pictures and ate some more!!! I would like to thank John Lowe , Trisha Albano, Ray Goto and the rest of the SCAD Squential Art Department for having me be apart of such a wonderful event. Also thanks to all the students that came to my workshop and Portfolio reviews!! Thanks also for picking up my sketchbook Deadlines Vol2. It seemed to be a hit with the SCAD students. I had such a blast that I would want to do this again. Maybe next year!!!

We have lost a great artist, person, and friend. When I was first started trying to get in the industry he was one of the artist that took the time to look at my work. He made me see how to have fun with my art and from that point on I wanted to draw like him.... sigh... I can't say enough in this text that would explain what Mike has meant to me and a ton of other artists.... He was so far ahead of his time... I just emailed him Saturday to thank him for his comments on some of my work... Today I will draw with a heavy heart.... This should help us all take time out and realize that we are truly fortunate to have the opportunity to do what we do as artists and creators... Mike you will be sorely missed....
R.I.P Mike

Man.... Another year another SDCC gone by. It was just a week ago I was
getting ready to fly out to the west coast to be apart of the HUGE
spectacle known as Comic Con. That show was insane!!! I am now back and in
one piece... I think...There was tons of really cool stuff to see and do. I
had a blast hangin' out with my pals and makin' new ones!! Thanks to all
those that came though and picked up my new sketchbook I can't believe I
sold out!!! I had 150 copies and they all went!!! I was a little nervous
about that but by that friday it was smooth sailing. I will be getting my
second 150 copies in the next week or so. So I hope to do the same with
those. I know many of you at SDCC wanted to know if I was going to WWC.
Unfortunately I will not be attending this year but I do plan on having some
books for sale at the show. ( fingers crossed ) If I don't have them ready
by WWC I will have them for sale online. You can contact me by email and
place and order. You can contact me from here. I WILL respond!!! Well with
other news. Be sure to check out my new DC Comics mini series WONDER GIRL.
It drops in September. Just check your local comic dealer for more details.
In the next few days or so I will be posting some images for the new Wonder
Girl along with a little more images for another project I will be doing
comin' soon!!! STAY TUNED!!!
