Interview from Fan Expo -up at ComicBookDaily.com

Fan Expo came and went, and it was more amazing this year that last. It was SOO busy I cant imagine how they got that many people in over the 4 days! I lost my voice by the 3rd day, So it was no easy task for Andrew Ardizzi from Comic Book Daily to try and understand my answers to his many questions. He interviewed me for about 20 minutes, and he translated it into a nifty article over here.

Another highlight from the con was getting to play around with a state of the art wacom tablet and brand new Autodesk Sketchbook Pro 6. I've never used a tablet in my life before, and I now NEED one in my life! That shit is incredible. More to come on this when I actually get one.

That sound you hear is me saving my pennies....

Futurequake #21 - Superman Vs. Flash homage

I'm just finishing up the art (pencils and inks) for a 5 page story for the next issue of Futurequake. It will be Futurequake #21, and I've done the cover as well. It's the Olympic issue, and my story is about the earth's best sprinter running against alien sprinter for the gold. So...when it came to the cover, I felt I had to go back to one of my all time favorite covers, Superman Vs. Flash !

When I first saw this cover as a kid, it blew my mind! Why were they racing? Who would win? ...and more importantly, how could I get my parents to buy it for me?!?

With this cover as my guide, I came up with my 'Sci-fi Olympic Alien' version for Futurequake.

It was colored by my frequent partner in comics, Kerien Smith. This issue is set to go on sale in Early July, just in time for the Olympics. What a coincidence! ;-)

 I'll update here on the blog when it becomes officially available, and how you can grab a copy.

Cheers!

At Calgary Expo this weekend!

I had a great time at C2E2 a few weeks back in Chicago, and now its almost time to say hello to the folks out in Calgary again. I did the Calgary Expo last year, and found it was one of the BEST shows I'd been to in a long time. Kandrix and his crew had some of the best organization I'd ever seen, along with some great crowds.

I'm psyched to do it again this weekend. The show is April 27th-29th. Full details over at the Calgary Expo website.  As a bonus... my pal Ty the guy is a featured guest so I'll get to hang with him and the HON crew! Should be a great time indeed. Plan to come by if you are in Calgary this weekend!

Edit! - forgot to add, I'm at booth K 07 !!
