days before the end

Hey Boys and Girls,

Yes i know i've been a bad blogger lately for not posting too often and getting back to those who took the time to comment on my last few posts, I'll make it up to you by returning the comments and seeing your awesome posts!
Anyway like the title of the post says, I'm taking a small vaction with family to the wonderful world of Disney(world)!
I leave this up coming monday and won't be back till August 4th, I'll upload some photos when i get back though!
Besides leaving to Orland,Florida ( where disneyworld is) the place i work at is closed for two weeks! Yay! some time off to catch up on work on drawing! so expect some posts when i get back.
These were some doodles and sketchs from my pad recently.
I also wanted to let you guys know to check out my other site where i upload my comics with some other friends!
its called Not Quite a Webcomic and features comic strips from me, my friend Hammie ( he created his site on there) and Anthony.
so please be sure to check out http://notquitea.comicdish.com/ and see my comic strips up there! You can tell which ones are mine because mine are always the longest pages on there ( mallnerds, chaotic, etc) I'll mention when i have something up on there so you can check it out

Long over-haul

Hey Bloggers,

Sorry it took a bit of time for an update, i had to re-format my computer because i had some spy-ware problems, after a few days of messing around its all ok.
In the mean time i whipped these up, check out cronus' intense stare at those boobs!

I also saw Hellboy II the other day and its quite a good movie, great designs but a bit weak in story, i have yet to see Wall-E or kung fu panda though and i intent to see them both.

cheers~

mini-comic

Just a little comic featuring my friends greg and hammie, this was more of an inside joke between us while we watched TV.

I think i'll try more of these in the future based on stuff i see read or think etc.

cheers~

R.I.P-Michael Turner

A bit of sad news fellow artists and bloggers, although this didn't happen today, i was overlooking Jim lee's blog and as i went down i noticed a post about his fellow comic artist Michael Turner.

Jim talked about how he and Michael worked together and what kind of person Michael was...It didn't quite hit me untill i looked on a few more sites that confirmed that Amercian comic artist Michael Turner died on June 27th, 2008 due to bone cancer.

For those who might not Know Michael Turner I'll give you a bit of back story ( you can also check his bio http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Turner_(comics)

Michael's early work started on comics(Top cow) like ballistic and codename-strkeforce and he is one of the co-creators of the comic series Witchblade ( he worked with Jim lee and Marc Silvestri )

He pencilled and did covers for the entire first volume of fathom(1-15) as well as many many covers for Marvel, DC and Top cow.

Due to him having cancer treatment ( after fathom vol. 1) other artists took over and pencilled for fathom vol.2(talent caldwell,koi turnbull) as well as its off shoots ( aspen seasons, etc) Michael came back after a lenghty down time and began worked on Soulfire as well as establishing his new company Aspen MLT.

I believe Michael would have resumed his pencil work on fathom Vol.3 which has recently come out but is pencilled by Ale Garza.

I never met Michael, nor did i ever see him, but i can say he's probably one of the artists that got me interested in comic books again a few years ago when i had picked up Fathom volume two.

Its my regret that i never did meet michael at any cons ( i have yet to go to san diego or LA or any of the major american comic-cons) but it was something i looked forward to because i really enjoyed Mike's style and his stories from his water wielding herione Aspen matthews or magical Grace from Soulfire.

Michael has battled Cancer before and it took him out of comics after his first volume on Fathom was done, i remember reading the back of one of the comics and him writing how sick he was and how bad he felt not being able to work, he joked and said that the drugs gave him some awesome ideas for his stories.

Another sad fact is that mike was a young guy with a lot of talent and although many artists and people dislike his style it is one of my favorite styles in comics today, reading interviews with people who've worked under mike or met him have said nothing but great things so it pains me to hear another great artist is lost to the world.

Rest in peace Michael, you won't be forgotten~

On top I drew some sketchs of my own take on Aspen matthews ( main character from Fathom)

Peace~

Hey Bloggers,
