Attention Shoppers!!!

I'm excited to tell you that my online store is now open! Thanks to the very talented (and handsome) Rob, we are now in business. I've got some prints up there to start and will be posting lots more goodies in the coming weeks, including more prints, a few original comic book pages and some illustration originals both framed and unframed. I'll be sure to post more as the items go up there!

Recipe for Halloween

It's almost here! Just nine days away!!

To celebrate my favorite holiday, I'm painting up a set of Halloween illustrations. Above is the first of the lot. I've started to experiment with sea sponges for painting textures (as opposed to just straight up dry brush on everything)-it seems to take a bit longer, and LOTS of layering (esp. with cel-vinyl)-but the textures you can achieve are great. I'll have a few more posted up here in the next few days, mostly little doodles and mock up halloween cards inspired by the great vintage halloween decorations and cards I've seen over the years. Below are some old Halloween images I adore. Why don't greeting cards/decorations look like this anymore!? I say we bring them back!

October...already?!

I can't believe it's October, already! This is by far my favorite month-the weather change, autumn colors, baking autumn treats and of course, Halloween. Speaking of Halloween...I've got only a few more of the little monsters prints available (see blog post below), if you'd like em' just in time for Halloween-drop me an e-mail! Only 50 of each made, I think I've got about 5 or 6 sets left.

It's been awhile since I last blogged, it's been a crazy (but exciting) past couple of months. There's a few new projects I've got in the pipeline that will be blogged about in the near future, but for now...two new picture books up for pre order on Amazon: Maybe I'll Sleep in the Bathtub Tonight: and Other Funny Bedtime Poems and Name That Dog!

I'm super excited for the release of these books and I hope you'll enjoy em'.

On the comic book front: October 14th be sure to head to your comic shop and pick up Web Of Spiderman #1! Sean McKeever and myself have a fun story in there entitled "Your New Partner, The Fabulous Frog-Man!". Hope you dig it!

Convention Creeps!

With the San Diego Comic-Con in a little more then a week, it's crunch time! Been busy polishing up the portfolio, making plans to spend time with our comic family and FINALLY making new prints for the con! I wasn't going to-but I gave in and decided to make preparing for the con even more chaotic ;)

I'll have a limited supply of signed and numbered monster prints with me for the Con. 100 beans gets you three art prints (printed on archival WC paper) and includes the pieces you see here ("Pumpkin Patch Twist" , "Mummy's Little Monster" and "Full Moon Beat") OR you can get an individual print for 40 beans. This is a limited run, once they're gone, thats it for these little guys.

Hope to see you at the convention! xo

Holy Cannoli!

It's back to the drawing board after a long weekend, bangin' out some new samples for the ol' portfolio to bring to this years San Diego Comic Con. We decided against getting a table this year, so we'll be cruising the con on foot. I've been working on a set of foodie inspired pin-up girls, so far this week I've gotten two completed. I absolutely love painting girly illustrations, there will be a lot more in the coming months. I hope you enjoy!

These will most likely be available in a 4 or 6 print set up for sale-along with more prints and original art. Like most of the pieces you see up on the blog-originals are always up for grabs while they last, please contact through my website if interested in purchasing originals and/or commissions.
