New comic pages

Hey-oh.  Been getting really busy with the comic book work lately, enough that it's become my full-time job.  Feels good to be working constantly again after going so long without anything work, and to be making a living doing what I love.  Plus the wife is finally getting off my back about getting a real job, heh.  Got a few things hitting store shelves soon and will have an on-going series debuting on iTunes in December.

Here's a couple pages from Tales From Wonderland: the Mad Hatter by Zenescope that hits stores at the end of this month.  I did the colors, Vic Drujiniu did the pencils:

And a cover I colored for Moonstone Books for a comic called Airboy.  Line art by Tom Grindberg:

Comic in stores today

So, back from San Diego Comic Con.  What a crazy experience.  Had a lot of fun and made some good contacts, but don't think I'll be going back any time soon.  Too damn crowded.  Any way, that comic I did colors for hit stores today, Grimm Fairy Tales #40 by Zenescope Entertainment.  If you happen to be near a comic shop stop by and check it out.

Here's a preview:

Pencils by Eduardo Garcias and Dave Hoover, colors by me.

Grimm Fairy Tales

So I recently finished up work doing colors for issue #40 of Grimm Fairy Tales for Zenescope Entertainment and it is due to hit stores next week on 7/22.  I did all the interior colors as well as one of the variant covers which will be a limited run, San Diego Comic Con exclusive.  I'm very happy with how the issue looks and am stoked to be working with Zenescope.  I should have some more stuff in the works with them and I have also been working with Bob Burden, creator of Flaming Carrot and Mystery Men, doing color work for him. 

If your a comic fan and you like boobies, check out Grimm Fairy Tales #40 next week.  Here's a preview of that SDCC exclusive cover:

Project Rooftop

Took some time out today to whip up a quick piece for the Project Rooftop contest and try to get in just under the deadline. This time the challenge was to redesign Wolverine. Kinda fun to do, but I wish I had known about it sooner so I could've put more time into it.

My idea behind it was that even though Wolverine can heal and has an indestructible skeleton, he still has several exploitable areas (knees, stomach, groin...) so I figured I'd give him a costume that gave a little more protection than what's offered by wearing his underwear outside his pants. I'd like to have taken it further, but ran out of time. I may go back to it later and add some details and some colors.

Sketch dump

Not much going on these days.  Been doing some sketching and painting.  Making more time to play video games.  I have a huge stack of 360 games I bought and started but never finished, been woking my way through those.  Rented and played through Dead Space, that game was insane.  Playing RE5 right now and so far Dead Space blows it away in pretty much every way.  Sure no co-op, but that really doesn't affect me since I play so late at night it isn't really an option anyway. 

Here are some of the things I've been working on lately.  The first is a work-in-progress digital painting, the rest are just some recent pages from my sketchbook.
