News! Good and bad.

Well, I keep the wait on the update down to 5 months only this time...good eh??

Well stuff's been abrewin' in that time. Good news, I recently finished up the IDW mini-series Rogue Angel. It was a fun, tough learning process. It was my first real book I've pencilled, I can't even start listing all I've learned about comics, and how much I still really need to learn. Just wish me the luck I need to keep improving!

I have another book I'm now finishing work on that been waiting patiently for me to finish, so I will have more on that next time.

I did recently stop doing sketch card sets for the last 6 months or so, but I'm thinking of taking on a few more sets. Just when I thought I was done, they keep coming back! :p

As for the bad, I recently went through a painful miscarriage at 10 weeks. It was a very bad experience, made even tougher by meeting deadlines throughout it. But that's life I guess. It's been a few weeks now and things are looking brighter again.

I guess that's pretty much it :) Oh, and I have tables at the Heroes Con in Charlotte ( June) and the San Diego Comic Con (July) so please look for me and say hi!

Okay, thanks for reading guys :)

Wow, I haven't updated since April??? SHEESH!!

Well, I've been up to all kinds of stuff, I don't know where to start so I'll just start blathering and hope it goes somewhere :D

Well, I went to Heroes and SDCC, and had an amazing time at both. I met some amazing people, and I'm looking forward to the cons at the beginning of the year ( MegaCon and NYCC).

I'm now working on a monthly book for IDW called Rogue Angel ( from the Gold Eagle novel series by Alex Archer). It's a lot of fun, and I can't wait to show more of what we've done for it. I think it's coming out sometime in February.

I guess I'm sort of getting out of sketch cards for awhile, I still love doing the comic sets, but reall comics is my first love. I'm doinga LOTR set but that may be it for awhile. I LOVE sketch cards, but hey just take up so much time!

Oh, I'm also working on an awesome book called Pono-Loa, written by Stephen Smirl ( aka: the awesomest/nicest guy in the UNIVERSE!) It's a book set in a magical polynesian setting. I'll show something when I get more time.

On the home from we just recovered from not one, not two, but THREE hacker/ bank error attacks that left us penniless for a total of 3 months this year ( yeah... it took that long to fix it all). I just don't understand why people just take what they want. :( Oh well, all's better now.

Okay, if I don't stop now I'll just continue until make absolute no sense, so I'll just get back to work now :D

Thanks for everything, guys!!

Hi guys! :D Hope everythings good with you guys!

Just got back from Chicago from a Card convention. That was really fun, I've never been to the windy city before. It was also my first table. It was madness. How can people do this ALL the time???

Well, okay, it WAS really fun too. Just crazy :D

After the con, we went to the big city to enjoy the bee-yoot-iful city and some deep dish pizza :D My son Tycen enjoyed it the most, especially riding the trains!

Next week is the Kansas City Comic Con. This should be interesting. Another table where I must get used to drawing on the spot. phew! Wish me luck!

Oh and say hi if you'll be there!!

Also coming up is (possibly) Heroes Con, and the San Diego con. Anyone going to those??

If you can't tell, I love to travel :D

As for projects, I'm currently working on the DC: Legacy [link] set. as well as the usual comic book stuff and mound of commissions.

Just a reminder, If you're interested in commissions, I set up a Blog for it here [link]

And if you'll have pity on this ol' gal, you'll check out my new Blog here [link] I STILL have trouble writing blogs. I just can't think of anything interesting!

ANYways, hope everyone is well, and have a nice day!

Hi again!

Sorry it took so long to get back about New York, it was SO much fun! :D

The convention was awesome, I got to meet some very neat people, and I got to sit a few feet away from Stephen King! How cool! He really is a neat guy, very down to earth. Also got to go to the Marvel party, and meet even more people ( sorry, just too many to list) It was really nice talking with Ryan Stegman, and fellow sketch artists Rich Mollinelli, Jeff Chandler, Jim Kyle, and yeah, too many to list definatly.

Spent the rest of the time in NY looking around. We had an awesome tour of the DC main offices by the licensing manager Kevin Kiniry. We're working on the upcoming DC sketch card set, so he was nice enough to give us a few hours of his time to show us around! It really was amazing. The floor he works on is built to look like Gotham city, and another floor is Metropolis. HOW COOL is that??

Kevin is an amazing, nice person, and I hope to talk to him soon :) Thanks Kevin!

Here's a few pics from NY. Not too many because I'm too lazy to resize and upload them all, lol!

Stephen King being awesome -

That's Jim Kyle, Rich Molinelli, Steve Miller, me and Ray - [link]

Another great thing was being able to be in NY the first time with some of my best friends. We had a BLAST. Here's video my friend Base Basvic made. I'm in there too, if you look for me. :D He got a PussayCat Dolls song stuck in his head one day and decided to do this....

On another note, I'm starting ( okay attempting ) to get a blog going. You can go here for hopefully everyday rambling, art, and commissions info [link]

I still have yet to post so please be patient!

Workwise, I'm workong on the new DC Universe: Legacy set. They're a lot of fun. I hope to post soon!

Still working on Blood and Roses, as well as the mystery comic project. So yep, busy as a bee!

Hope everyone is doing awesome! Have a great day! :D

Hi guys! Just saying hello! Been busy as usual. Most on sketch card projects and Blood and Roses. I'm starting a new book next month I can't wait to tell everyone about. I really love the story.

My sons birthday was today ( the 17th) he turned the big 4. I'm so very proud of him! Happy Birthday my little man!

Also getting my own blank sketch cards printed next month. yay! I have no idea how to post images, so here's a link to the art that'll go on the back [link]

Anyways, the reason I posted, was to say I'm going to be at the big' New York con this weekend. So if anyone else is going to be there, let me know! :D

Thanks everyone, have a great day!
