san diego....

i'll be in san diego this year. as of monday.

and due to a last minute reprieve, you'll be able to find me in artist's alley at table kk-7.

this may well be my last san diego comic-con (haven't quite decided yet), and therefor your last chance to meet the curmudgeonly charming wit that is me. i urge you to do this while you have the chance... and bring cash.

here's the pitch cover for my next (by which i mean god only knows when) project. no names yet, i'll just let the imagery soak in...

bears...

i invite anyone who wants to to submit that to stephen colbert...

it's a boy!!!

... or a monkey of some kind. hard to tell right now...

spooks, spectrum, and speakeasy...

hey kids...

just some news today. first, here's a spankin' new promo image for "twice dead", my extra-curricular extravaganza with david hahn.

marvel at its ooginess...

secondly, it just came to my attention recently that one (or possibly more... haven't heard officially yet) of the pieces i submitted to SPECTRUM have made it into the fantasy illustration annual. i'm very excited about it.

yay me.

and thirdly, myself, myself's wife, and myself's work will be in toronto this thursday night april 5th for the speakeasy art show...

8pm-Midnight
The Gladstone Hotel, 1214 Queen West
Second Floor Lobby

you can go to the show's site here for all the rest of the info including the other guests, etc...

note: the speakeasy art show is in NO WAY affiliated with that other company with the same name.

place angry grumbling here....

twice dead previews....

oooooooooooo spoooky.....

so, as stated above, here's some of the twice dead stuff i've been fumbling away at in my spare time. i've nothing really terribly interesting to say about it, except that the first issue will be done soon (david)...



it's about ghosts....

and sandwiches...

!!!!!!!!!

well kids, it's been a little while. i've been a wee bit busy/stressed/exhausted/stressed for a number of reasons, not the least of which is...


that's right!!! my boys are swimmers!!!!!!

we're at about 15 weeks. monique's doing great (aside from a fairly constant flow of vomit... i mean, my god, it's like "the exorcist" ...). strong heartbeat. fingers and toes all accounted for (that goes for all three of us - we don't live in a great neighbourhood). no tail to speak of. ditto for hooves (mum).

everyone happy. back with art in the next couple of weeks...

aside from xmas, i hadn't thrown up anything new in a while, so here's a montage from the monroe currently(?) on shelves that i'm still quite proud of. deft (or french) observers will note a subtle reference to albert uderzo...



this'll likely be the last monroe post for a little bit. while i'm still having loads of fun with the strip, i'd just as soon this not become a mad specific blog.

more stuff soonish...
