Rex Steele is Coming to Spain!

That's right, Rex Steele is being published in Spain by Aleta Ediciones and will be available next month! Not only that but myself and Rex's co-creator/writer Matt Peters will be attending FICOMIC, the comics festival in Barcelona May 15th-18th to sign copies of Rex Steele!

To celebrate Rex Steele's arrival in Spain, fan art by the amazing Spanish comic book artist José Luis Ágreda!



Sorry for the long absence from the blog, I've been busy making stuff. Soon the floodgates will open.

APE Commish

A couple Copic marker commissions I did at APE this past weekend.

APE 2012

I'm going to be at the Alternative Press Expo in San Francisco this weekend. You can find me at one of the Red Window tables 526, 527 or 528.

I'll also have a fresh supply of Banana Girls on hand!

Skadi

I jumped at the chance to do this pin up a couple of years ago for the very awesome Katie Rice because I'm a big fan of her work. She and Luke Cormican do this hilarious/ridiculous web comic called Skadi. She's a barbarian girl on a quest to eat of every meat.
This pin up has finally seen the light of day in their new book compiling the first two years of Skadi web comics. It's premiering at APE this weekend in San Francisco. Look for it!

Banana Girls at Tr!ckster

Banana Girl Statues have arrived just in time for Tr!ckster 2012. Tr!ckster is the creator owned pop-up event near the San Diego convention center during comic con. These Banana Girl statues will be available for purchase there.

But first, my favorite part. The unboxing.

Also available at Tr!ckster will be my usual books and cards as well as these new signed art prints featuring the original Banana Girl piece.

I'll be attending Tr!ckster much of Friday and Saturday, but the statues will be available from day one. See you there!

Angoulême 2012!

I'm back from Angoulême! Wow it was fun. Exhausting but fun.


I'm officially part of the Comix Buro sketchbook series!





At the booth.



Signing with Ned!



I can't believe how many dedications I drew.
Here's a few of them.







Thanks to Etienne, Olivier, Camille and the rest of the fine Comix Buro crew. I had a blast!

Sketchbook PRESING

Coming soon from Comix Buro!
I'll be signing them at the end of the month at the comics festival in Angoulême.
January 26th - 29th.



You've seen some of the contents here on the blog, but for the most part it's all unpublished material.

Tr!ckster

Instead of attending the San Diego Comic con this year, I'll be going to Tr!ckster. You'll find it conveniently across the street from the San Diego convention center.



If you haven't heard about it, it's a retail space: specializing in creator owned wares including small run and limited edition books, fine art prints, toys, clothing, and more. As well as an art gallery space and a series of symposia focused on creator driven demonstrations and discussions.
Should be pretty neat-o.
I'll be there Friday and Saturday but it goes all the way from Tuesday JULY 19 to Sunday JULY 24, 2011.

Hosted at the San Diego Wine and Culinary Center
200 Harbor Drive, Suite 120
San Diego, CA 92101

If you're going to Comic con go across the street and say hi.

Here are a few detail shots from my contribution to the Trickster god themed gallery show and art book. The original will be for sale at the show.
For my subject I chose the Naree Pol (aka Makalee Pon) from Thai mythology. These girl shaped fruit are a bit more like Sirens than Tricksters per se, but what the heck.

Valentine's Day at Wonder-Con

I'll be attending Wondercon at the Moscone Center in San Francisco April 1st to 3rd. You can find me at the Imaginism Studios table (AA86-87) with my good friends Kei Acedera and Bobby Chiu.
I'll be displaying this beautiful prototype of the Valentine Candy Girl statuette sculpted by Michael Defeo. Michael also hand painted this 3D print out of his Z-brush file. Check out this nifty video he made on his painting process for the piece on his blog.







Photos are by my good pal Juan Hernandez.
Thanks Juan!

APE 2010

The Alternative Press Expo is this weekend and I will be there with Josh Cooley selling our card decks and related prints. We'll be in Scott Morse's Red Window area, so somewhere around table 330.



See you there!

The Cards Are Here!!

54 Intercontinental Cuties have arrived!


Which means we'll have them for sale tomorrow at Action Figure Freddy in San Francisco.

And then at San Diego Comic-con Booth 4800!

San Diego Comic-Con BOOTH 4800

Myself, Josh Cooley and all 54 Intercontinental Cuties will be at booth 4800 at the San Diego Comic-Con next week. Booth 4800 is my usual location on the show floor along with Scott Morse and Jeff Pidgeon. This time around we'll also be joined by Jim Capobianco!

In the Program guide we should be listed as Red Window.

Hope to see you there!
