So now that I finished up Nightwing I'm getting ready to rock on Spidey. I picked out four pages that I thought would be good and it turns out that you'll be getting a little Black Cat with those pages too. You'll notice that the Spidey on the left is a lot more intense and streamlined than some of the other stuff I have been doing as of late. That is an attempt to get even better and more slick in my style. With this next set of pages I plan to really get some serious superhero action going on. I think that they will wind up being the pages I send out if everything goes as good as I'm hoping. I really want to try and play with some more foreshortening and streamlined black placement ala' Mike Wieringo. Ringo's artwork has always been a huge inspiration to me, especially so in the last few years since I have been searching to find my style, I have been looking to Ringo's work for direction. It has paid off immensely. All I can say is thanks and I dearly wish that he were still with us. His legacy will live on. I'll probably be thumbnailing the Spidey pages over the weekend getting ready to get to work on them. I plan to take it kind of slower with this last set as I really want them to be portfolio material. That said I will be sure to post some images along the way so that you're not left hanging. Wish me luck as I do the final pages of my college career! Be sure to check back soon to see the new stuff. I'll keep you updated as to what will be on the site and roughly when. See you in a few!
Spidey Time!

Senior Project Episode III: More Nightwing!
So I know its been a long time since I've posted but here it is, finally the rest of my Nightwing pages. I'm pretty satisfied with them overall and I think I can see a good amount of growth again from the last set. With my class coming down only to about a week or more now I'm probably only going to complete one more project. I'm planning right now on doing a four page stretch from a Spider-Man script. Keep your eyes open. I'll be posting as soon as I can. After those final pages I'll be getting things ready to be sent out. I'll be sure to let you know who I'm submitting to and what the results are! I'll post again soon...

Workin on Nightwing, plus a little Leo
Hello once again! I felt like it had been a while since I put up a post and I know its going to be a little while before I pput up another one. Why you ask? Well currently I'm working on a 7 page stretch of the Nightwing script and its going to take a while but the pages I have finished right now are loooking pretty good if I say so myself. That's really all for now... not a whole lot else to report but I wanted to make a post and let you know it'lll be a little while before those new pages are up. I'm hoping to get most of them done by next weekend but we'll have to see how it works out... until then enjoy a little Leo, it was a TMNT kind of day!
The Dark Knight: Review
Heath Ledger's performance as The Joker was inspired and impressive he simply owns every scene he appears in. I found the character to be every bit as creepy, twisted, sadistic, and quick as I could have imagined. It is truly a shame that the world has lost Ledger, but more importantly that his family had to lose him so soon. My heart goes out to them.
All of the characters are amazingly well portrayed by all of the returning cast as well as the newcomers Maggie Gyllenhaal and Aaron Eckhart. Bale simply rocks as the tortured Bruce Wayne/Batman and Eckhart nails Harvey Dent plain and simple. Everyone in this film deserves high praise,, no joke. Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine I could go on forever...and I would except that seeing is believing.
Bottom line: A+ Don't take my word for it. Go see it. Now.
Senior Project - Episode II: Nightwing 4-9
Hello all,
First off let me apologize for the long wait on these as I was without Internet for quite a little while there. But no matter because now I'm back in action! So I'm in week 4 of my final class at SCAD and so far I have penciled 9 pages. You'll notice that I didn't include the other three here and that's mainly because it was more of a warm up exercise than anything. I got more into the full swing of things on this next one. I hope you guys enjoy. The story is Nightwing Year One so that's what's up with the old costumes for he and Robin. Please let me know what you think.
After I got done with these I felt like I hit a pretty good pace so the next thing you'll be seeing is a seven page section that starts where these pages finish. I'm not sure how soon I'll have those together but we'll see. I'm planning on posting a review of The Dark Night as soon as I see it this weekend so there might be a bonus sketch to go along with that if I'm feeling it. Well I think that's it for now folks so come back in a few days to check out The Dark Night Review! Until then peoples!
Senior Project Begins
Hello everyone sorry for the lack of updates. I have been without internet and will be for a while. In the meantime I am in the full swing of things with my senior project which will consist of several 5pg long segments form various superhero scripts. I'll be putting up images from these things when I can but right now I'm really only on the internet about twice a week for the time being. All of that aside you can be sure I'll keep things fresh as often as I can. By Monday I should have all 5 pages from my first script up for you to check out so be sure to stop by!
Hulk Review / Return To Savannah
Hulk Review
Hey folks D here given you the latest...I just saw Hulk tonight and I give it a thumbs up! I really enjoyed it. I felt myself clenching during The Hulk's tense bursts of strength and totally got pissed when people tried to screw with him. This movie had absolutely everything that the previous Hulk entry didn't. I should mention that I didn't enjoy the previous installment. This one rocked, The Hulk was rough and tough but just vulnerable enough for you to stay in the story. My only real qualms were with The Abomination who seemed just a little rushed in terms of fleshing his character out. Bottom Line: -A
On the flip side I'm also getting ready and packed to go back to Savannah to kick some butt on my final class (Senior Project). I'm looking forward to getting back to some good old work. Classes start on Monday and you can be sure I'll give you the latest as I finish up and get ready to send some artwork out at the end of the quarter. Stay tuned!

New York, New York
This week has been an absolute blur! I started out heading down to NYC to visit Zee on Wednesday. While there we had a great time going on Circle Line and checking out the city, we rounded things up by going to The Met. We got to see some really great art including an exhibition on superhero costumes and their influence on the fashion industry. There was some really neat stuff to see in the exhibition including Cristian Bale's latest Batman costume, as well as Downey Jr.'s Iron man costume (Mark II). It was definitely something neat to see. After that we spent time looking throughout the museum at all kinds of art from all over the world. It was an awesome time indeed.
So now for part two: I traveled back to Ithaca leaving my lovely lady in NYC and got up the following morning to work at a concert with Blues Traveler. It was a great show, the crowd was really into it and the rain held off all day.
And to round it all out part III! I traveled back to NYC once again for the second time only a day after being there to pick up a fellow worker, see some family, and have a quick dinner with Zee one more time before she headed back to Atlanta today. It was a crazy week to say the least! I was all over the state but it was a fun time. I think one of the best things you can do as an artist is travel. You need to see a lot of different places and things. The more unique experiences you have the more your work will come to life. So get out there! And that's no excuse if you don't have a car, you might have a bike, or if not, two legs that can carry you anywhere. And for the record you don't have to go very far to find adventure, some of the most inspiring adventures I've had were right in my own backyard, so stop reading this and go outside!

In Training
Hello all just a quick update today. I figured I would let people know what I've been up to so far on my break... Firstly I've been drawing and lot and working on all kinds of stuff really, I've been particularly concentrating on foreshoretening and anatomy. One of the other things I'm going to work on is thumbnailing a few issues over the break to get some good storytelling practice in as well.
Other than that I've been taking time out to chill here and there, I went to see Kung Fu Panda the other night and really enjoyed it. The story was fairly simple and straight forward but being a big fan of martial arts action I really dug it. I suggest you check it out if you're into that sort of thing at all.
I hope everybody is enjoying the beginning of their summer's. Just so you know I should be posting some new images up in the next couple of days, then I'll be out for a little while while I'm down in NYC. That's it for now folks stayed tuned and look out for those new images!

You graduated! Now get a job!!!
Hey folks I'm coming to you from good old Ithaca NY. I'm only up here for a couple of weeks and then its back to the grind for my final class ever. That said I did graduate...well technically anyways. I won't get my diploma until I finish my last class but I did walk across the stage. The ceremony itself was a little lackluster but no worries, now I'm on to bigger things, like getting a freakin job! Over the summer I'll be working my butt off in Senior Portfolio. I'll be working hard to prepare an awesome package to send out to editors that I've met at my time at SCAD with the intention of picking up a job. Overall my goal is to have a job working in comics within the next six months or less. Of course that all depends on a lot of hard work and just a little good luck. In the meantime I'm chillin here at home and practicing my drawing chops getting ready to kick some butt. I'll post again when there's more to report!D
