Foggy LOST doodles from TwitPic.

A couple of weeks ago, verabee and I did "Foggy memories of LOST" drawings in anticipation of the final season premiere. I've just archived them all onto Flickr now. Check 'em out if you haven't seen them.

Happy Holidays to one and all.

Along with rare self-published mini comic tales and other hard to find pieces I've done over the years. Mark your calendars and pre-order today!

Halloween cartoon.

Here's my Halloween cartoon for this year. Enjoy.

Did I mention Twitter?

There's been concern that I haven't posted on my blog much lately. Part of the reason is that I joined Twitter awhile back. It's proven to be quite adept at sending out updates on the Grickle store, Dank/Dunk webcomic, and Flickr updates.

So feel free to follow along here: http://twitter.com/grickle

But don't worry, I haven't abandoned the blog! It'll still be updated but on a more relaxed schedule. :)

Willamette Week cover

I was lucky enough to do the cover for this week's Willamette Week newspaper here in Portland, Oregon. The image was for a feature article on landlords and renters in the current recession. You can see the image without text here.

Magnus the Misfit in Flight #6!

I've got a brand new story in Flight #6 which debuts next week at Comic-Con! It's a 21 page piece called "Magnus the Misfit". I hand painted all the panels, along with some photoshop tweaks, and I must say I'm really happy with the results. Make sure to stop by the Flight booth at the convention and pick yourself up a book! (I won't be attending this year unfortunately, but my good bro Scott C. and a million other talented folks will be there!)

You can check out some sample pages here!

Change of Scenery

New cartoon up on Youtube. Enjoy.

The Grickle Store!

I've created an online store for selected original Grickle art and prints! Be the first on your block to own a complete set of the Children of the Night and their Dad!

The Children of the Night and their Dad. In Toronto!

I've just finished up a set of 5 illustrations that I'll be selling as prints at TCAF (Toronto Comics Arts Festival) in Canada this coming weekend! The series is called "The Children of the Night and their Dad."

Check out the rest of the images here.

Coraline storyboard stuff.

A lot of folks have been asking to see the storyboard work I did on Coraline so I thought I'd post a few items. Here's a smattering of art I created for the "Chocolate Beetles" sequence. You can see some amazing design work that Chris Turnham did for this particular set as well.
Coraline is now the second highest grossing Stop-Motion film in history! Pretty cool.

Grickle named one of the top Indie books of ALL TIME!

Of all time. Yep. Well, at least Wizard magazine thinks so. In their recent issue #211 an article titled "The 25 Indie gems even the most goulish Marvel zombie or dedicated DC devotee must read before they die!" they list the first Grickle book. I'm rather flabbergasted and astounded to be part of a lineup that has Jeff Smith, Seth, Daniel Clowes, Chris Ware, and Art Spiegelman on it. Not to mention a ton of other incredibly talented folks. A very pleasant surprise indeed.
