The Wedding Present

My girlfriend and I were invited to a wedding in Fredricksburg, Virginia recently, however she had no idea what to get the happy couple. Luckily, her boyfriend is an illustrator/ graphic designer who can create a gift that no one else is sure to bring a duplicate of.  This was done in pen and ink with ink washes for the grey tones. After I finished this piece she had it framed and, Viola! A very special one of a kind wedding present.

Celebridoodles!

About a month and a half ago, I contributed a commissioned original inked drawing in exchange for a donation to the Magic Bullet fundraiser on Kickstarter.com. Magic Bullet is a free semi-annually published comics newspaper  produced by the indie comic creators collective DC Conspiracy, which I am a member of. The commission that came through was for Jon Ganahl who collects sketches of himself by celebrities and other comic artists and posts them online. 

 The drawing I did for him was posted on his Tumblr feed a few weeks back along with sketches by Shaquille O'Neal, Hulk Hogan, Gary Trudeau, and Adam West which you can check out here. I always did keep interesting company.

Is this thing on? (tap tap tap tap tap)

Welcome to my first blog post. for those who don't know me, which I presume will be most of you who come across this blog, well, I draw comics. No, I don't draw for Marvel or DC. I write/draw/ self publish black and white comics that are done more out of a love for the medium than to make bundles of money as there has been little money in it for me to date.

Still here? Good. I have been doing this for several years in pretty solid obscurity since the very first SPX .

  

My intent is to promote my work here posting artwork, sketches, and previews of upcoming comics work along with the occasional musing on comics I am reading or a DVD I am watching that inspires me.

Over the years I have self published more than a dozen comics; seven issues of Skidoo, three issues of my four issue mini series Down and Out On Planet Earth, a one shot comic called Artichoke, and four issues of my first series, The Disciplinarian, in addition to contributing stories and art for anthologies, graphic novels, and comic series such as Magic Bullet, Plastic Farm, Liquid Revolver, and Dr. Dremo.

I hope you stick around and enjoy my art and musings.
