2008 Updates

Hey all, I'm sorry I've been away for so long, but here I am with a few minutes to share some stuff with you.

Art Show
First off, I recently had my first solo Art Show at K-Dog & Dunebuggy in my Brooklyn neighborhood. It was a really cool experience. I've been going to this cafe regularly and I've got to view a lot of quality work from other artists in my area. This past month was very weird to walk into the cafe and see all my work lining the walls. The best part was that I met so many cool people in my area because of it.



The reception was great. It got off to a slow start, but people started to stagger in one or two at a time. It was good tho cuz I got a change to talk with everyone who came out to support me. I sold a few art cards and some prints, and made lots of new contacts. I also took a few photos as you can see.




































Sports (and other) Mugs
So in 2007 and into 08 I did quite a few illustrations for a company that makes Chinaware products. They have been moving into gift products as well and ask me to due some work for them. Below are a few of the images I've done.














































































Hotwire / Batman Strikes
By now you all should have heard of our character Hotwire. If this is your first time to this blog, you can view previous posts to get up too speed. Here are some other Hotwire pieces I've done that you may or may not have seen. BTW, I have prints for sale of both the images in color at $20 each. If you want one just use my contact page to hit me up.


















































Pinups
Here are some new pinups I've made this year. They have a very limited print run so if you want one hit me up quickly. The originals are on sale now at K-dog and Dunebuggy where my art show is being held. If they are not sold by the time it is over, I will probably make then available online. If you are interested use my contact page to let me know.































That's it for now. I have a few other things that I'll share as soon as I get permission.

2008

Happy New Year peoples! It's 2008 and I'm back on my grind. I had a great holidays and got plenty of rest. I hope all of you had the same.

I don't have anything new to show yet, but there are some crazy things in the works. There are a lot of projects in the air at the moment and we'll have to wait a bit to see which ones drop and which ones float. Until then check this out.

My friend Larry Christmas found this link awhile ago and passed it on to me. It's all old news, but it's always cool to find you name on a site like this.

The last thing I'm going to mention is that Batman Strikes #42 comes out Feb 13th. By as many copies as you can and pass them out to your friends and family. Tell everyone you know to go buy it. Show some love! Thanks. ( For those of you confused please read the previous post)

BATMAN STRIKES # 42

So after talking to a few people and checking out the previews book I can tell you this much: I'm the co creator of the new super heroin in issue # 42 of Batman Strikes!

BLAM!!!!

AAAWWWW Yea! That's what I'm talking about. I can't say her name until D.C. does first, but you can see her being held up on the cover of the issue by the villain Bane.

This is her first appearance in any comic. To start off in the DCU, in the bat world of all places, is such a feat I can hardly control myself. This is the stuff dreams are made of. I grew up watching and reading batman, and now I've contributed to that universe. CRAZY!

Now the next step is to tell everyone I know to pick up multiple copies of that issue. Not only that, when you get, write into DC telling them you want to see more of our super heroin! We've got to get the word out there about her, and let DC know we want her around for more than a one time deal. If we can do this right she might get her own series, or wind up on the cartoon. How cool would that be?!?!?!?!

So listen, SPREAD THE WORD! and I mean SPREAD IT!!!!!!! With your help this will be the start of something BIG!
