ATL Convention

Okay peoples, I know you've been waiting a long time to hear how the con went. I guess I didn't get off my butt to post about it because as it turned out there were no editors there. Don't get me wrong I still had an awesome time and bought some really cool stuff but I wasn't able to network much. There were some fellow beginner artists there who I talked to. That was actually pretty cool. Its always nice to share stories about how tough it is to get your stuff going. The con was also just a ton smaller than I thought. But the bottom line is it was still really cool to go and it was a lesson. From now on I'll only be heading out to con's that are big and feature a bunch of names that I actually know. That leads me to the next con I'm headed to - Megacon in Orlando. I'm working on some more pieces to take down with me and hoping I can get the time off from work. There are going to be some really cool people there. It will be really neat to go to a bigger con. Not to make you think I didn't have a good time, I have to tell you there was a ton of cool stuff to look at there. It would have been so easy to blow like five million dollars in there. I got a bunch of cool comics for art reference. I even got myself some vintage Tom Lyle for those of you that know who I mean. Well that's pretty much the story of it. But don't worry I'll be reporting on Megacon after I go! So stay tuned and there will certainly be a lot more to hear about. It the meantime its back to working on pages and getting new stuff ready for the con. I've been working on new pages and even new business cards and everything in between. That's all for now folks. I'll be posting some new stuff soon. Keep it real! Oh by the way, I've been planning on putting together all of these small stories into a book which I'll be selling. More on that later...

My ATL Portfolio

Well here they are folks the final pieces going up to the convention. There are a few more pages in my portfolio. The actual count is twelve but these are the best so I decided to show them to you. The first four pages are a story about Killer Queen. She's dynamite with a laser beam for those of you who don't know. I hope you enjoy. Next post: The inside scoop on the convention!

Coming Soon - My ATL portfolio!

Hey there folks. Its been a little bit. Sorry about that. I've come to realizatioon that its just better to post when I actually have some stuff to show for it rather than posting every day with just a tiny tidbit. So in light of that fact my next post will feature my entire ATL convention portfolio. I'll be pposting up everything that I'm taking with me. I'm really hoping that its a positive trip. I'm actually not even sure yet wheather or not there are going to be editors there but I'm hoping! Either way I'lll be able to mingle with artists and fans and hopeful get some people interested in me and my work. Of course I will be pposting a follow up post so that you can see pics of me at the cona dn I can tell you about the experience as a whole. Stay tuned! ~D

Powerella gets shelfed, and the Atlanta Comic Con

Hello once again everyone! To make it short, for various reasons, Powerella is on indefinite hold. At some point in the future she will certainly be back. At this moment I just can't quite create a finished book of the level I really want to. That said, someday I will. She won't go away! In the meantime I have moved on, back to pencils, getting ready for The Atlanta Comic Con in Feb. I'm planning on taking a portfolio of about 8 images up to the convention. The 8 will consist of two three page long shorts as well as two poster/pin up images. This superman piece is one of the covers. From left to right it features, the sketch, the tight rough, and the final pencils. I'm actually really glad I tried this out because I noticed in doing so that I actually like the line weight better on the tight rough than the final! Guess I need to beef it up. That's all for now, just wanted to let you all know the news. More soon.

Powerella Begins!

Hello to all. By now some of you may know that I'm working on my very own graphic novel. I've just finished the first page. As of right now the book is going to be in grayscale because of the cost of production for the color book is way too expensive. But that might change if I can get a publisher interested in the book. In the meantime you should all be aware that the Powerella Blog is now open for business! I'll be providing updates and information specific to Powerella on that page. This page will continue to feature my other work, sketches, etc. So don't worry it won't just be all Powerella all the time, at least not on this page. So what are you doing!? Go to the Powerella page right now and check out some sketches and stuff! Be sure to leave me your comments about the project as info comes out! So how do you get to the Powerella Blog? Click on her logo in the top right hand corner of this page or click here.

Powerella!

Wello hello there! As promised here is an image for you. I have some other sketches and pieces that I did on my vacation but I'm gunna save the best of those for a rainy day I think. To give you all and update here's the deal: I'm going to be making my own fully finished comic. Its going to be around 100pgs or so. As you may have guessed Powerella is the main character. I'll be posting a lot about her and the project here on the site. I'm going to try and keep things a little bit more general here though and make Powerella exclusive on her own blogspot site. Be sure to check it out from time to time. I'm assuming that it will take me four or five months to put the book togther. (And that's if alll goes well) I'll keep you all updated on my progress of course. Other than that I hope everyone had a happy holiday season. Be sure to stop back soon for more fun images and more Powerella!

Waaay too long...

Hey there peoples. Sorry once again that its been so damn long since I posted. I was on vacation for a couple of weeks so I didn't have access to a scanner. The good news is that while I was away I did a ton of drawing for my book in the works: Powerella. I'll be posting some sketches tomorrow.

Holy cow!

Hey people! Sorry its been so long. A lot of things have been going on this month preventing me from getting new images up. Here's one for you that I'm stilll working on, I want to take it to full on color. As soon as I do you can bet I'll post it up. I have a few weeks off reallly soon so you can bet that I'll be posting a lot more frequently again!

Monster!

This guy over here is going to be in my latest submission. I didn't really color him very professionally...More like a color sketch for the site. I'll post some more stuff when I have the chance. I'm currently working on my own idea for a graphic novel so I may put up some of the concept sketches from that fairly soon. Stay tuned!
