Tricks or treats!

My Halloween strip from last years Halloween themed issue of Magic Bullet.  Enjoy. You just never know who, or what, will show up at your door. Happy Halloween!

Color me impressed

I love seeing old black and white photos colorized when done well. And this photo of a magazine rack circa 1942 was done exceptionally well. The amount of research Avi Katz put into this to match the colors for each of the magazine covers in this photograph is staggering.  His process is detailed on his blog and can be viewed here. Simply impressive work. I, of course, thoroughly enjoyed seeing the old comic book covers most of all. I miss seeing magazine racks this diverse in pharmacies and department stores. Magazine racks have even largely disappeared from 7-11's as well and that's a shame.


Sometimes I just write.

My friend Chris Piers, who writes for the website the Robot's Pajamas, asked me to write about my favorite horror film for his series of horror movie reviews leading up to Halloween.  Unable to decide which film to write about,  I wrote up TWO of them; Night of the Living Dead and Return of the Living Dead! Check 'em both out.



And in the blink of an eye, times goes by just like that!

Two years passed by between my last two blog posts. I know I probably shouldn't call attention to how neglectful I've been in posting on here, but would it help if I told you all how incredibly busy I have been with work and that I'll have a lot of really nice artwork to post? 

So let me catch you up a little bit as to what I've been up to. My latest graphic novel work just came out yesterday. It's a great little book called Colonial Comics: New England 1620-1750 from Fulcrum Publishing.


The artwork on the masthead of this blog comes from the story I illustrated, This Indian Work in this book. I'm very proud of the work. I feel it's my best comics work yet! My pal Jason Rodriguez edited the book and Tara Alexander wrote the story. Lots of great comics creators were involved in this anthology and being asked to be a part of it was a nice honor.  Look for it in bookstores, comic shops, and Amazon. It's been getting some lovely reviews and I think it will continue to get some really good press. Fulcrum has really jumped into the graphic novel market since District Comics. In fact, Publishers Weekly recently wrote about it.

It was a little over year ago we lost Lou Reed...

Monday marked the one year anniversary of Lou Reed's death. To mark the occasion, I'm posting the strip I did for Magic Bullet #8 recounting the time I was fortunate enough to meet him.
