Till next time!

March 22nd-24th
splitting time at:
Artist Alley #1129
and
Big Dog Ink's Booth

I'll be unleashing two new prints and my sketchbook, "Just Rough'n' It Volume 2"!!!
Be sure and stop by to say hey!

On a side a note I've been working on some very interesting projects and hopefully in the coming weeks something may be teased on my facebook fan page!

Greetings everyone!

Over the last few weeks I've been getting hit up like crazy for commissions.
On one hand it is great - but not great when well over half the notes I recieve (which I'm getting several a day) aren't serious requests.

For starters - Yes I do commissions, my gallery has a folder set aside for commissions I've uploaded.

So for those who are serious about getting a commission from me it would be benefical to attend a convention I'm going to attend as well.
I can and have mailed commissions before, but it is not a preferred method as I enjoy giving the piece directly to the individual.

Also instead of asking me for my rates, just tell me what you have in mind.  
My base prices are on one character with no background - so you if you want 50 characters then the price changes.

As of right now I'm accepting commissions for Wizard World's St. Louis Comic-Con
If you are serious about getting a commissions from me - you need to post a reply to this journal entry!

Thank you for your time.

Till next time!

Dang its been awhile!!!
Sorry for the utter lack of updates but since making some nice new contacts at SDCC, I've been a busy bee.

I recently posted up one such item for Aspen Comics' Lady Mechanika series and one of the new prints I'll have for sale at the next Wizard World event.

I actually have about 5 more images I could post--but I'm going to hold off for now. SORRY!

I'm also hard at work on making a sketchbook!  You heard right folks--but this won't be your average sketchbook filled with doodles and mussings for covers and what not.
Of course it'll have all of that but it'll also be sort of an educational tool for new artists to hopefully learn a few tricks but also allow fans to get inside my head a little more and see what makes me tick.  I bet your wondering what makes me tick?  ---Sorry little Ghostbuster's moment.

Lastly I've got another print I'm working on for future cons as well.  I'll give you a little clue as to who it might be -- she's a female verison of Ryu and beats on Dan Hibiki all day.
Okay that probably gives it away too much.  Just wait till you see my take on her--she's adorable!

OH and Street Fighter 3rd Strike Online Edition is sick!  Its a nice break from drawing for sure.
