Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

This was a spec cover for IDW's book (which is awesome BTW!) but they passed on it.

2014 - Year end round up!

I love doing these yearly round ups. It keeps me organized and gives me an idea on my over-all output in one easy place...the first blog post of every January. ;-)

In reflecting on 2014 and doing some fact checking on the pages I drew, here's what went down:

2 trade paperbacks...a first for me!
(Heroes of the North - Compendium and Legacies)

4 comics published this year.
( The Undertow #4, The Undertow Free Comic book day special, Professor Elemental #3 , and the Psychedelic Journal of Time Travel #3. )

2+1/2  pages of the Gutters.
( All can be found here, and the 'half' page that almost was is here )

1 art book - from the 2014 Calgary Expo Show

2 new prints, and 1 pin up in Monstrosity #2

Add to that my trip to Seattle's ECCC, and a  few Canadian Conventions and there you have it.


My goal now is to make 2015 my most prolific yet,  and I'm working on that as we speak. I've got many pages 'in the can' that I'll show and talk about closer to the dates when the books are set to come out. You can read about here or by following me on twitter.   

A big THANK YOU to all those who have helped and supported me this year. There are too many important people to list individually, but you know who you are.

Happy 2015 to all. 

Monstrosity #2 - pin up

Monstrosity is back!

The 2nd volume is now just finishing kickstarter mode. 

Last time I drew a 5-pager, and this time its a pin up! Monsters are cool, but throw in a damsel in distress and now your talking. ;-) 

I'll be sure to update details on the release date - on my twitter!- once I get them. 

KIll Shakespeare - Tide of Blood pin up

Time sure has been racing by since the last update…I actually had a month sneak in here where I DIDN’T have an update. WTF? I hate that, and will try not to have that happen again for a while!

The Fan Expo show was amazing…. It ALWAYS is! It’s always a close battle for ‘best con of the year’ between Calgary Expo and Toronto FanExpo.  This year I give the nod (just barely!) to Fan Expo…mostly because I had a STELLAR booth girl again this year to help out.  Your move in 2014 Calgary!

I’ll have lots art coming your way soon. Once it gets close to the publication date, I’ll be showing some of it off here, on twitter, and Deviantart.

Speaking of publication date, here is a pin up for the Kill Shakespeare guys and their latest trade paperback - Tide of Blood. I think it turned out quite well, except for the weird crop it got in the published version. I designed it to bleed off the page, but when it came out, that didn’t happen. Cest la vie. Here is the version I had in mind.

See you in a month!
