The 'comic cock' interview

"Comic Cock" ?

This was my favorite (and funniest) interview of 2017. I've NEVER been asked about 'comic cock' before, and don't think I ever will be again.

Adventures in Science #1

The good folks at Dead Canary Comics  were kind enough to have me back to do some pages on their new book: Adventures in science, set to be released in early November 2017!

The 'official' word on this project is as follows:

Welcome to 10 wicked visions of mankind's frighteningly fantastical future! 

ADVENTURES IN SCIENCE! is a neon-soaked, darkly comic, technicolor graphic anthology daring to tell the fates of imagined futures!
Dead Canary Comics have assembled a crack team of artistic architects to build worlds beyond imagining! These pioneering pencil prodigals have bled blood to bring you nightmare visions of a futuristic prison system, the next stage in warfare, the humdrum life of a single-women, and everything in between!
Each story is a self-contained 'what if', a pulpy adventuristic delight of scientific dreaming, a sideways glance at "what could be". Some stories are funny, some are serious, some are deep... all are guaranteed to entertain
These tales have been lovingly curated and compiled to make a fantastical, mind-blowing graphic novel by the team that brought you The Fitzroy Comic, Reddin, Last Driver and The Frogman Trilogy.

Matt Fitch wrote the story I drew, and here is a sneak peek:

Pod Cast interview on Speech bubble

Here is one of the most in depth interviews I've done in a long time. If you want to hear me talk about, RAID studio, Frank Quitely, beers and X-men, Undertow and many other topics...check this out! 
 
Today Aaron Broverman talks with comic artist Gibson Quarter of R.A.I.D. Studio. The co-creator of The Organ Grinder is a Belleville, Ontario native, and his deepest regret is selling all his early X-Men comics... for beer money 😱

Tune-in to his crazy story here: http://bit.ly/2wSOQWx

Auroraman - Summer Chill

I've done another cover for the Canadian hero Auroraman, and it's set to be released in and around Saskatchewan in the next week. This comic is to promote the Humboldt Summer Sizzler Comic Con sponsored by the City of Humboldt!

I'll be doing some Auroraman interior work and more covers in the future, and will be sure to share that info here when its set to be released. 

The Gillan designs and interiors are done by my pal, and former 'Ty Templeton Comic Book Bootcamp' Alumnus- Chris Yao!
