Marvel Strange Tales II #1
Strange Tales returns with Volume II and the first issue will be out tomorrow! Once again, I colored the introduction page written and drawn by Nick Bertozzi in which we rejoin our anti-hero, the fake watcher, doing his time in prison. For this round of Watcher pages, I’ve attempted to create a Jim Steranko feel…

Getting Even With Shakespeare in the Fringe Festival
Here’s recent illustration I did for the Getting Even with Shakespeare production which has been selected for the New York Fringe Festival. While the above image is for a postcard, it was originally designed for the festival’s website (color) and brochure (grayscale) which required a very small icon. The size restrictions proved to be an…

826NYC Comics Workshop
Not long ago, I had the pleasure of participating in a comics workshop over at 826NYC. I joined fantastic cartoonists Nathan Schreiber, Domitille Collardey, and Sarah Glidden along with comics guru Chris Eckert in helping seven youngsters (ages 10 to 12) each make a four page story. In order to help focus the class and…

Illustrations for Christine
I did a couple of illustrations for my friend Christine. The idea was to do a bio in a children’s story style complete with five or six drawings. Christine tells great stories (check out her blog), so it was easy to find interesting things to illustrate, and I enjoyed dusting off the ol’ watercolors. Maybe…

MoCCA Wrap-Up
Thanks to everyone who stopped by my table at MoCCA. It was quite a successful outing for me — I nearly sold all of my copies of “Haberdash” and “Second Chance Vance”! Thanks again to Amelia at Sugarbuilt — I only ended up selling half of the cookies because I kept hearing comments like “Oooh,…

Haberdash, Second Chance Vance, Cookies, Huzzah!
This weekend I will be debuting “Haberdash” at the MoCCA Festival. “Haberdash” is an 18 page mini-comic featuring ink drawings of odd people wearing hats (a few of which I have posted on this very blog) paired with a vignette penned by writer Tim Hall. This was my first time working with Tim and I’m…

Marvel Strange Tales Hard Cover Released
Marvel has released a hard cover compilation of all three issues of Strange Tales. I posted in the past (here, here, and here) about the four pages I recently colored for the book, as well as the story I cut my chops on as an intern lo more than two years ago. Pick it up…

Still Life on Fidelity
I did this ink drawing a couple of years back to work on my hatching. I wasn’t very consistent, but the sloppiness adds some character to the overall feel of the piece. I recently tried re-drawing it with a more uniform hatching look which turned out looking cleaner but a bit stiff. I’m not sure…
