New to the WEBSTORE! GIANTS RISING...

GIANTS RISING is a 96 page graphic novel I did a few years back that I'm very proud of. It combined my childhood fascination of the "kid and his giant robot" genre with a modern, more cynical world view. I've posted it on the webstore, so check it out if you can!


Here's a cool writeup I received at the time!

There's room for "Apples AND Oranges" when you make a book!

One of the projects I'm working on is a full color Artist's Sketchbook covering art used in the DEATH'S HEAD TRANSMISSION graphic story I've got in the works. I'll be including portraits of some kitbashed 12 inch figures I put together for stop motion videos and other project reference. I've always loved toys ever since I was a kid. I think my first foray into storytelling was playing and creating adventures for my GI Joes or Shogun Warriors, or Micronauts, so this is a real treat for me to share another passion of mine in a book. Yeah, I play with dolls, wanna make somethin' of it? Hah!

And in case you missed it, here's ZOMBIE NOMAD ZERO the loner superhero stopmotion music vid!

Zombie Nomad Zero,
the loner Superhero!

He's got no Friends
and he's got no foes

He's got bottled Lightning
coursing through his toes!

So take my advice
and give him space

Zombie Nomad Zero
may win the Human Race!

IDIOT ENGINE ep 48: To Begin the Beginning!


A big big "Thank You" to self-publisher Javier Hernandez for co-hosting this latest ENGINE! We discuss how to begin a story, citing movies like Pulp Fiction, Star Wars, as well as comics and TV shows. While we both spend a bit of time hawkin' our latest comics at the beginning heck, they're pretty cool books AND for those of the listeners on a strict time schedule, you can FF to the 10 min mark anyways!
Also, those inclined can play the "You Know" game and take a shot every time I say "You Know"... I guarantee no one out there will make it to the end of this ep! (Yikes!)

Take a listen if you get a chance!

COMIC ASSEMBLE!!!

I'm hard at "Fun" working on my next project, this one's going to be roughly 90 pages with comic as well as painted pages. Though it's more pricy, I'm planning on having a color centerpage spread to treat everyone's eyeballs. Playboy it aint, but heck, this one you don't have to pretend to read it just for the articles!

Normally I'd go digital, but this time I used a china marker to add a mid tone to the art. Looks good, though it's a little riskier since it's applied to the original art.
I was planning on going b/w with the whole book, but felt having a color centerfold added the right impact to this particular part of the story.

This is probably one of my favorite parts of making a book, the editing and assembly.
"Comic Assemble!!!"
