The final issue of Marvel’s Strange Tales Vol. II is out tomorrow, and once again, I have colored not one but two exciting Nick Bertozzi pages!

Train to Philly
Here’s a little artsy-fartsy movie I made using an iPhone while on a recent trip to Philadelphia. The music is Max Richter’s “Infra 5”

The next issue of Marvel’s Strange Tales will be out tomorrow and I have once again colored Nick Bertozzi‘s introduction page in which the Fake Watcher, Philip, continues to show the vacationing Uatu the beauties of human life.

Vicious Circle Therapy Group
My Twisted Savage Dragon Funnies short story comes out this Wednesday, and my editor, Michel Fiffe, suggested that I do a post to explain the process I used this time around. Savage Dragon came on to the comics scene about the same time that my family moved neighborhoods, causing me to lose my paper route,…

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.

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…

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…

I will have a table at this year’s MoCCA Art Festival which takes place April 9th and 10th at the 69th Regiment Armory in Manhattan. This is the best indie comics convention in the country so if you are in the area, you should stop by. I will have not one, but two new mini-comics…
