///-monday 1.18.10

been a while, been busy luckily. the work for ASPEN has been going really well but in the mean time, one of the stories that i worked on for DC has come out. should have posted sooner seeing as its been almost a month since its come out, but i've finally got some time to do it so i figured i'd take it while i could. a while back i did a ten page Alfred story that was set to come out in the 80 page batman annual that came out this december. you can check out all my pencils in my gallery page, but if you haven't picked it up yet, you might want to take a look, there are some other good stuff in there.

back from the sunny west coast of San Diego with some big news. well ladies and gents here is a brand new project that i'll be working on with the guys at Aspen Comics. it's a brand new property written and conceived by J.T. Krul. it's a dark, gritty, psychological story with so much depth and many layers that i can only hope to bring justice to the world and characters that JT has created. it promises to be a truly unique story that i am only to happy to be able to work on and i can't wait to get into drawing the story.

to hear what JT has to say about his new project check out his interview on comics continuum

Also i have another pin up out in the new Aspen Swimsuit Splash this year so make sure and check that out.

Gotham Gazette: Batman Alive?

i've also added some scribbles to the misc. section so make sure you take a look at those as well.











///-wednesday 3.4.09

first post of the new year. took me long enough. between the jobs ive been lucky enough to get from DC i got to do some sketching and since i haven't posted in a while and i'm not too sure when i'll be able to put any of the DC stuff on here i figured what the hell. i've also went and got myself a deviantart page; it was strongly suggesed by a few people so... i'll put that link up too. basically what ever is on here will be on the deviant page so feel to keep an eye on which ever you prefer.

well it's been awhile but i have been keeping busy. first off if you guys have the chance the Michael Turner Tribute book is out and you should pick yourself up a copy. it's full of great artists and writers remembering a great man.
other then that, i've been doing some work with DC comics on a Detective Comics title. as far as i know the book doesn't have a release date yet but when i hear something i'll make sure and post it up. unfortunately i can't post any of the art up yet but i'm already looking forward to the next issue and making it even better then this one.
i'll also post up my piece from the tribute book but you guys should really go out and pick it up.

///-monday 6.30.08

it is with great sadness that i write today. for those of you who may not already know on June 27th Michael Turner tragically passed away after a long battle with cancer. those of you who know me know i've never been much with words, so as i sit here i can't help but think how feeble any attempt of mine could even begin to bring justice to a man so extradinary that words can't really describe. not only was Mike a mentor, but an amazing friend to me and a truly rare human being. he was the kind of guy that everyone who knew him loved him and couldn't help but try to be like. he touched my life and the lives of countless others, and i will always remember him and cherish all the time that i was lucky enough to spend with him. Mike... you will be missed.


for more information you can go to aspen's website.

so i thought id take a swing at the super hero genera and do some batman pages. i got a script from mike kregger, it's actually a robin scrip that is told from the jokers point of view, so if the characters seem a little out of thier normal vain that's why.
