The Dallas Comicon is upon us! This marks my first year of comic conventioning,
and Logan's not too far behind.  We're both set up at Dallas Comicon this year.
I'm on the first floor in the usual spot, and Logan's on the third floor, along
with a bevy of other talented artists.  The con runs May 17th-19th,
and I'll be debuting Dragon Slayer as well as few new prints. Logan's
got some never before seen prints as well! Come hang out!

Looking for something to decorate your wall? Logan and I have you covered.
You can get your hands on posters personally designed and printed by Logan or me.
My store's full of original comics (both digital and physical), as well as prints: [link]
and Logan's is full of original craft items, as well as the coolest designs and prints on Etsy. Period. [link]

We both update with new items when we can, so bookmark that link and keep
checking back!

For everyone who backed Dragon Slayer on Kickstarter, packages will be in the mail
this week. I'm 50 packages shy of finishing up, as well as a mess of customs forms
and a long trip to the post office, but just about done. Start checking your mail box!

Today's the last day to pre-order Dragon Slayer. There's currently 15 hours left on the clock, so if you haven't pre-ordered and plan to, get on it!
We're currently $200 away from the last stretch goal.

Please check it out here:  [link]

It's the best way to pre-order limited run signed and numbered copies of Dragon Slayer.  If you haven't picked up my previous comics
there's a tier that includes four comics and an art book, so if you're a collector, I recommend that route

The comics and prints will be signed and numbered, in addition to being
Kickstarter Exclusive.



To everyone who has supported thus far (and shared the project with friends and family) , thank you! You guys rock!

3 days left to go, and we're $800 away from the $5000 stretch goal (4 more pages added to every tier)! Please share the Kickstarter to friends, family, and fellow comic book fans.

The Kickstarter has been doing great- if you're interested in pre-ordering Dragon Slayer Vol. 1,

At 3:36 PM Dragon Slayer was reached it's funding goal! Kickstarter has been amazing
so far, and I want to thank everyone who has either contributed or helped
me spread the word.

I'm honored the project got funded, and I hope it continues to do well.
I'm already working on issue 2 as well as some more goodies for the project

As of this morning, my new comic project Dragon Slayer is
being launched via Kickstarter.

If you're interested in pre-ordering a hand signed and numbered
copy for yourself, visit the Kickstarter page here: [link]



There's all sorts of rewards for different backing levels, and I'm signing everything I can. I'm really excited
to finally present to the world all the work I've poured into this comic over the last few months, and
I hope you enjoy it too!

I've been terrible about updating this journal, as I've been updating the blog first and foremost ( [link] ), so as far
as blogcasts go, we're considerably ahead ( [link] ).

So Logan and I have wanted to a podcast for years. YEARS! We finally sat down to record it...and the episode cut off half way. So we started over, and made a new podcast.  I named episode one Hipster Pants, but you can call it whatever you damn well please.

You can listen to episode one here: [link]
We discuss Doctor Who, Walking Dead, Street Fighter X Tekken, some of our past projects, and some of our future projects.
Alternatively, if you want to see some of my processes, check out Super Sketch Video Blogcast here: [link]

I'm proud to introduce Super Sketch Video Blogcast.  SSVB as I will henceforth contract it to is a new web series where I digitally pencil and ink a picture, then time lapse speed it up so you don't have to sit through two or three hours of video.  You can find episode one here: [link]

Future episodes will be poster here: [link] so be sure to subscribe if you don't want to miss anything.
I also repost the videos on the blog ([link]) which I've been updating pretty frequently with game and film reviews, process photos, tips, and just plain all around updates. So if you haven't dropped by in awhile, go check it out.

I'll be at Dallas Fan Days all three days, so come talk to me! The event is from October 19th-21st, and is held at the Irving Convention Center. More info here: [link] you mention you follow me on DA I'll sketch something quick out for you for free, so hit me up.

Just as an update, my new comic Dragonslayer is coming along nicely. 15 pages finished so far!

So Logan and I have been on a pretty crazy journey since the Albuquerque Comicon (more on that experience: [link]). We hit Roswell's first 'Cosmic Con' ([link]), had a few guest reviews (Asura's Wrath: [link], Lollipop Chainsaw: [link]), I traveled to Washington DC and New York City ([link]), we got written about on Comics Alliance ([link]), and I wrote a blog about what it's taken to get me this far ([link]).

Not to mention loads of side projects, commissions, etc. For more info on those, check by my store ([link]) or Logan's Etsy: [link] .

Not enough links in one journal update? Really?
Well here's a few Master Class articles:

Yoshiyuki Sadamoto: [link]

Instagram Process Photos: [link]

Seriously. Link-orama.

If you live in or around New Mexico, Logan and I will be in Albuquerque this Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Albuquerque Comic Expo. June 22nd-24th we will have a table at the Roswell Cosmic Con, so drop by and say hi!

Please drop by [link] for the newest art, and check the 'Merch' link for print copies or digital copies of the comics, as well as prints.

It's this Saturday, May 19th-20th, Sat: 11PM-7PM, then Sun: 11PM-4PM.  After that: ABQ Comics Expo, then Roswell's "Cosmic Con".  More info to come on those later two, as well as more info for the Dallas Comicon. It's late. I'm sleepy. I'm working like crazy getting ready (seriously, five months of non-stop work and I'm still scrambling!)

Loads of junk on the site: [link]
Better update about prep @: [link]
New store, which I'll talk about later @: [link]

Dear everyone who stops by my page for my birthday (you guys rock, btw): Best free present ever? Click 'like' (or 'iine' for Japanese users) on [link] It will secure you as a legend in my mind, for now, and all time. Click it for glory.

Also, if you get a chance, pick up this month's issue (31) of Digital Artists Monthly.  There's a small interview with me about Manga Studio. Pretty cool, right?  I've posted the interview in its entirety up at [link] , if you're so inclined.  Be sure to pop over to [link] or [link] and add me.

I know I haven't posted new art up since a week and a half ago...which really isn't all that long, but it feels like forever...but I'm working on putting the finishing touches on my comics to get them print ready.  I'll update the pages here when I'm done with them so you guys can see all the George Lucas style revisionistic work.

The world has lost one of the best.  I made a small tribute to Moebius and his art over at the blog: [link] . I intend to do a more robust feature down the line.  His impact was felt, and he will be missed.

It's been a super busy/rough week, but fortunately I've done tons of work on the site and not posted any of it up on here. So prototyping a new photos page: [link] , new pictures up at [link], and a blog/pics of Otomo Katsuhiro's Kaba 2 here: [link] . Don't forget to check out similar blogs at my Master Class page: [link]

I've been crazy hard at work over at [link] posted 5 new pictures (not on DeviantArt) up at [link], so to get a sneak peek of what I'm up to, drop by there. I also spent all weekend creating a new page called Master Class ([link]).

Master Class is basically images and analyzations of  some of my favorite comic artists, their styles, careers, etc.  I'm kicking this thing off with images from Kaba, Katsuhiro Otomo's phenomenally rare art book ([link]) and I'll be following it up with Kaba 2 on Wednesday, as well as a post of Frank Quitely sketches and some Alex Maleev sketches after that.  Keep tuned into the blog for more shenanigans: [link]

New blog up about inspiration, as well as chronicling my con preparation.
