Coming soon...

Undertow #3!

2012 -year end round up!

I'm a little late on this one... I'll be more timely and try for a Jan 1st post next year. ;-)

In reflecting on 2012 and doing some more fact checking, this is what went down. It should be noted that I don’t really suspect that this will be overwhelmingly interesting to most folks, but I do it mostly to help keep myself organized and on track. It’s interesting to me to see all that I’ve accomplished in 12 months by clicking on the first blog post every January!

So with out further ado… I had work in 3 comics and 1 comic magazine published this year. Specifically that’s Undertow #2,  One and Done, and Heroes of the North –Omnibus #2 , as well as contributing a cover and interior art to Futurequake.

I also got to drop down to the Gutters again , and still hung out (and posted more!) on twitter. ( @Gibsonquarter  )    I was international in my appearances this year, and attended Comic Cons in: New Orleans, Calgary, Toronto and Leeds in England.  

As it stands now, I plan to keep just as busy this year! Work is under way for more Heroes of the North  (with inks by Guillermo Ortego) and the soon-to-be-blogged-about release of Undertow issue #3.  Watch for details on that, and my next American Convention appearance here soon.

Cheers!  

Happy Holidays!

Let it never be said I don't care about the environment...I'm into recycling! Case in point? I'm re-using this illustration from last year. ;-)

Season's Greetings! Here's to a GREAT 2013!

Heroes of the North : CODA

A quick follow up to my last post…Thought Bubble was a great con, and a fantastic time! I was able to reconnect with many old friends and make a bunch of new ones - including Guillermo. Thought Bubble is highly recommended. Heck, Deadpool even got engaged there!  


Next up, please keep an eye out for Heroes of the North : CODA now available for pre-order from Ardden Entertainment. I have 2 short stories in this one, both inked by Guillermo Ortego and colored by Keiren Smith. Pre-order details available at this link. 

Here’s a little sneak peek:

 

Judge Dredd !

I'll be bringing this print along to THOUGHT BUBBLE in Leeds next weekend. (See post below)

It was inked by Guillermo Ortego , and Colored (amazingly IMHO!) by Guillem Mari....who's website I highly recommend you check out.

Come by and get one signed!

Thought Bubble 2012 in Leeds!

 

 
I'm going to be attending THOUGHT BUBBLE in the UK in a few short weeks. This looks to be a great comic-con,  or 'Comic Art Festival' as its called over in Europe. Soooo proper those Brits, eh?

There are lots of great folks signed on to be there, Yanick Paquette, Mark Waid, Skottie Young, Cameron Stewart, Rufus Dayglo, Phil Noto, Rob Williams, Gary Erskine...and many more.

The thing I'm most looking forward to is meeting in person, one of my artistic partners in Crime, and inker extraordinaire - Guillermo Ortego.

Sarah and the folks organizing Thought Bubble, have very kindly set us up at tables #84 and 85 right  beside each other so we can chat to fans and each other.  I foresee many tales about Heroes of the North! We will have a few copies of the comic available, and will sign them accordingly. We'll be in the Royal Armouries Hall...map link available- right here.
 

Tales of the Buddha - Renegade Arts edition by Jon Haward and Alan Grant

Back in the WASTED magazine days, along with 'War on Drugs' there was another  re-occurring strip in every issue. It was written Alan Grant and wonderfully illustrated by Jon Haward. It was:  TALES OF THE BUDDHA

I'm happy to report that these strips are FINALLY being collected in one volume by Renegade Entertainment ! Now people worldwide can now enjoy them.

 

Right now its being offered as a digital down load, and a print book is scheduled to follow. I was very happy to contribute a pin up to be included in the "Tales of the Buddha-before he was Enlightened" collection. 

 

As you can see, the Buddha strips were drawn in a VERY different style than the way I draw! That said, this is my take on Buddha, along with Narcobitch from the War on Drugs.

 

The reviews are great, as are the strips. I should know... I've read them all! Please have a look and don't be shy to purchase this great little digital comic. You can do that right here!
