Preparing for Emerald City Comic Con

Excitement is in the air!  Emerald City Comic Con is coming up, and I am getting very excited about the trip.  I updated my business cards.  The images are above, and they will be here and ready by the convention.  What do you all think?  I went fairly simple on the back.  Makes it easier for me to add information for people if necessary.  The front image is keeping the theme of my detective guy, but pushing it towards a more rendered style.  I also dropped the Squirt Gun Studios aspect....it was time I think.

PS- On another note.  The company I do the comic book playing cards for is releasing two new flourish and card manipulation decks on Saturday, go check it out.  www.xtremehandz.com

MMD #1: Official Trailer

I have talked about this before, and I'll talk about it again, mainly because this time...I have a full trailer and some amazing shots of some of the images from the deck.  This is the FIRST COMIC PRINTED ON A DECK OF PLAYING CARDS.  The first run is a limited edition box and limited run of 2000 decks.  Check out more info here: xtremehandz.com. or here: MMD Teasers

Red Zombie: Nuts to YOU!

Nate was very proud of himself for this page...a zombie ripping some scrotum...good for you.  I really liked the opportunity this page presented to get some major depth and to really capture the rip.  What do you think?  What a great way to end such a wonderful zombie story of revenge.
And, in two days I leave for NY.  I believe I am ready for the convention, and I am DEFINITELY ready to make my mark in the comic community...BRING IT ON COMICS WORLD!

Portfolio Inks: Red Zombie

Over the years, I have been given a lot of advice about portfolio presentations, and how to do this and that, what to include, what NOT to include.  Most of that has been advice about full artistic portfolios.  Inking portfolios are a bit different.  You want to include a series of images over different artists to show your versatility so an editor knows you can handle many types of projects.  This piece as well as the previos Red Zombie posts will be included to show my ability to ink over a sequential series, but I'll also have examples from Jason Sobol, Kelly Goodine, and Red J.

Inks for NYCC

 So, I am heading off to New York for the Comic Convention next week with two portfolios, one of my sequential work, and one of just my inking.  I think the inking portfolio is looking pretty strong, especially with entries like this one...check out the eyeball reflection on panel 5...pretty sweet huh?!  I was pleased with that panel, as well as the directional focus from panel 2.  It needed a little something something.

MMD Teaser 4: Final Colors

This is the final teaser I'll be able to put up for this project.  It is finished and submitted, we are waiting for the official announcement now. These are the final colors and shows how the project will look in print.  Enjoy!  And stay posted for more information and future projects.
