Deer and Squirrel! (Or a whole lot going on!)

I am really busy painting at the moment and I have a lot of exciting projects in the works but it will be a while before I can show any of it (next year) so in the meantime, a couple more cool paintings from Little Red Bat. I love the pose of red in the deer one, but she is very tiny...

Video From Yellowstone and Glacier

Here is a video Troy took of our trip. Pictures here:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/14121972@N07/sets/72157624145282143/

Here I am by a bronze elk ouside of the National Wildlife Art Gallery. Behind me is the National Elk Refuge. It kind of looks like a fake background.

Comic Side Projects: 12-Way with Cheese

In honor of 12-Way with Cheese being released, I thought I would show how differently things started.

As I said, I have worked on this story concept for YEARS and could not get it to gel.

Below here is the first attempt...

 After I kept sketching and working on the story, I realized the art was totally in the wrong direction. As a result, I worked on new more cartoony concepts as seen to the left here. I even had a whole manuscript with a different story I tossed.

This is the final result:

You can see the rest here.

So, stay tuned now that the book is out for upcoming signings and events. There was even just an article about the book in CityBeat. Check it out!

I should also mention we just had a blurb in Imagine FX as well!

Speaking of anthologies, I am also in Allen Freeman's latest Slam Bang comic anthology lampooning fast food. See my contribution here!

Meeting Donna Love

I just got back from a wonderful trip to Montana, Yellowstone, Tetons, Jackson Hole and Glacier Park. While out west, I got to meet Donna Love. She wrote the delightful text for Henry the Impatient Heron and we are now working on a cool new book project together.

Here we are at the Loon and Fish Festival to sign books. I will post more images soon!

Below, Troy and I encounter the wildlife in Glacier Park. Donna has a cool book about Glacier Park coming out soon. I will do a post when it is out!
