emerald city show in seattle and gr show in sf

lots of big news for next month. in just a week now i will be riding up to seattle with scott mills for the Emerald City Comic Con. i have a few commissions i have to finish before then as well as a mini-comic if i can get it together in time. the plan is to have some new prints available as well.

also on the same weekend i will have some art in the “Game Over 4 – Art Inspired by Video Games” show at giant robot sf. attract mode commissioned me to do the above print for the show and hopefully for sale on their website. here are the show details i got from the giant robot website.  just scroll down past their valentines day post to see it in it’s entirety:

so many awesome artists i wish i could go. too bad i can’t be in both cities at the same time. i won’t have the original in the show but will make it available for purchase on my etsy store if anyone is interested. speaking of my store i have put a few new watercolors up there recently. these three guys are still available on there. click on them to see them whole. get into it.

in a few months i will be hitting a couple shows on the east coast, The Toronto Comic Arts Festival May 7-8 and Philadelphia Comic Con June 17-19. i got my dumb face up on the wizard world site even. and of course i will be at the cool local show stumptown comics fest again this year which my pally brandon graham did a rad poster for. see if you can spot my character sinclair hiding in there.

the spider Jerusalem commission i did is going to be in the transmet art book. there is a kickstarter for that project if y’all want to get on board.

and someone emailed me recently  a preview of a rather old book i filled in for is up here.

starting next month (march) i will also be sharing a studio space at tranquility base. it is located directly above floating world comics. i am looking forward to it.

i am also going to see swans play tomorrow night at the roseland. i will try not to get too excited.

now here are some pencils ink and colors of a piece i finally finished did the other day.

click on them if you want to have a goood look.

thanks.
