Hey everyone! Just wanted to quickly pimp my friend Tim Townsend's new art book. Order a signed copy while they're still available! Check out the link for details:

Just wanted to thank everyone near and far who dropped by my table during Comic Con 2009! It was a total blast to meet you all. I'd also like to give a big shout-out to all my artist buds who were amazingly cool to hang out with. I'd list em all, but it's much easier to just check out my friends list. Most all of them are in there. They know who they are. Thanks guys!

Inspired and ready to get back to work, but before I do, here's a quick Comic Con pic of my future real-life model for Psylocke (Ignore the dork on the right).

I wish...

I'll be attending the San Diego Comic Con this year and I'm pleased to announce the imminent release of my 2009 art book "Omnium-Gatherum 2009" (Basically the title means "a collection of miscellaneous things". Viva online thesaurus! It's also the name of a Finnish Death Metal Band, but that's neither here nor there) It's 36 pages of preliminary sketches, WiP's, and full-color finished pieces I've produced over the last year or so. I'll be in Artist Alley at table II-12 in the same neighborhood as Tim Townsend, Dan Panosian, Mark Irwin, Jonboy Meyers, Jeff Johnson, and Eric Canete. To track me down, just look for my purple-tastic banner:



I plan to sell prints as well, but I haven't gotten that stuff sorted out yet. I'll try to make another announcement ASAP. I'll also definitely be selling my 2007 art book along with the new one.

The 2009 book is currently in the process of getting printed, but in the meantime I thought I'd show the cover. Yes, it's Psylocke yet again. And no, I'm not a psycho fanboy of hers. Really. This piece was a rejected layout of the Psylocke cover displayed in my banner. So, due to time constraints and partial laziness, I decided to color and finish it up for this book's cover. Hope you like! And I hope to see you at Comic Con!

Just my opinion but, unlike the Bearded One, BioWare really understands what the old school fans want:

Deviant has informed me that I'm violating copyright laws by posting Buscema's original She-Hulk #1 cover next to mine. It wasn't posted for any personal gain, but as a clear demonstration of just how closely I tried to pay respect to a legendary artist. It's really not worth fighting over, so I'll just let them delete the entry. My versions will still be posted, but it's still lame. Oh well.
