Shameless Plugs

Many apologies for the lack of posting lately, I've been busy with a new project that I'll reveal soon. In the meantime a few plugs:

I was recently graced with the honor of writing the quote for the back of the new artbook by the amazing Monsieur Z (site, blog).

Which was a great pleasure as I'm a big fan of his work (you should be too). He even drew a hilarious caricature of me to go with the quote. I'll post it if I can get his permission.

The website DigiBiDi recently added a 17 page preview of Matt Peters and my own Rex Steele: Nazi Smasher book.
You can see it right here:

As far as I can tell DigiBiDi is a site specifically dedicated for previews of Comics, Graphic Novels, Mangas and BD naturally. Or at least that's what I assume, not being able to read french and all.



Lastly I'd like to plug my good friend Robert Smith aka "the Iguana".
Rob and I went to comic book school together and we learned much from each other. He works in the New York animation industry and has inked a bunch of Kids Next Door comics for DC. He's in desperate need of a blog, if you know him try to convince him would you? He does however sell some really cute (and sometimes naughty) girly art on Ebay for way to cheap.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Sketchtravel

I'm very lucky and honored to have been invited to contribute to the Sketchtravel book. Sketchtravel is the brainchild of Gérald Guerlais and Daisuke Tsutsumi, it's a sketchbook thats passed by hand from artist to artist across the world. Once it's finished It'll be sold in a benefit auction and published as well.

Sketchtravel blog

I finished my page almost two weeks ago. I'm not allowed to show the whole thing so here's a small detail to whet your appetites.



I was also privileged with the honor of handing off the book to the amazing Carter Goodrich of New Yorker fame.
I nerded out over that one.

"Help the Hodges"

While I was at CTN I contributed to this group drawing to help raise money for the Hodge family. It's got quite a line up of famous cartoonists on it. Today it goes for auction on EBAY along with many other fundraising items and art. Lot's of cool stuff actually.
