Deadpool for Calgary! Pencils

This is a little Deadpool image I'm drawing to have a few as a print for folks dropping by Calgary Expo. 

 I'll be in artist Alley there...not sure where yet. I'll tweet it out when I know.

Fearless Fred Podcast - 'Fredcast' Indie Comics 2

A few weeks ago, I had the great  pleasure of dropping by a recording studio to sit down with 102.1 the Edge's own Fearless Fred Kennedy 

 

Fred does many things (T.V. /radio) but the most important is podcasts! He does great podcasts or " Fredcasts" about comics, and this time out we discussed working on indie comics. Joining me at the indie creator roundtable was Adam Gorham and Ricky Lima. It was a ton of fun, and a great chat. If its half as fun to listen to as it was to record, it'll be worth your time to listen!

There are many free "Fredcasts" to enjoy, and I recommend you listen to a few--or all of them! Fred's interviewed many amazing guests, the majority of them comic book superstars.

It's free to download from  iTunes or ... Go over here and have a listen!

Gutters #387

This one was done on the fly while I was at ECCC this weekend. People were bumping the table while I was creating it, and my drawing board and tunes were no where in sight!  The colorist really did some heavy lifting on this one. 

Check it out here. 

I always enjoy helping Ryan Sohmer and the Gutters folks out, they are super easy to work with. However, next time... I'll make sure I'm back in the studio. It's WAY easier to do draw nice finished art there!

Undertow #3 - 5 page preview

I'm happy to report that UNDERTOW #3 is set and ready for it's release at Emerald city Comic-con on March 1st! Its also available to order (along with issue #1 and #2) right now at the 7th wave website. It's been a while since the cliffhanger ending of  the Organ Ginder story from issue #2, and we pick it up right from there. This issue also marks the start of Adam Gorham's stellar art work on the other story in this comic "The Forgetting". 

Here's a 5 page preview of what you can expect. I'm inking myself on this one, but Guillermo Ortego helped out on the cover, which was wonderfully colored up by Greg Harms. (Technically its a 6 page preview with a cover too...but I'm an artist Dammit! Math might not be my thing.)

This will also be available at local Toronto comic stores the week of March 13th, 2013. Adam and I will be possibly be doing some in store signings too. I'll update it via twitter when they happen.

If you'd like to check out more, there's a 5 page preview from issue #2 over here. ;-)

I'll be at the Emerald city con for the launch at the 7th Wave booth. Its booth #2403,  so come and get it signed!  Anyone who mentions that they saw the 5 page preview will get a free head sketch of Moses -my favorite chain smoking monkey from Undertow.

If you cant make it- please order your copy direct from Luke at the 7th wave website.

Wolverine sketch cover for charity

Nick Bradshaw alerted me to a charity to help raise money for a children's ward at a hospital in Halifax. The Chalmers Regional Hospital Foundation, to be precise.

I spent many, many hours in the hospital as a kid, and its where I developed my love for comics. Comic books helped get me though some tough times - or at least distracted me from them for a while.

I've sent this original art Wolverine and the X-men #1 'sketch cover' off to be bid on. It's available by connecting with the folks at Strange Adventures.

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!
