Buzzcocks FFWD Weekly Cover...

Okay, so this update has been long overdue. I'm currently working on a couple different comic books, which are bogarting my time. Anyway. This is a cover I did last week for FFWD featuring UK Punk Rockers, Buzzcocks. I'm really happy with how this came out.

Madman & Atomics Pin-up...

I met Mike Allred at the 2009 Calgary Comic Expo. In 2010, just after seeing him (and his lovely and talented wife, Laura) at the Seattle Comic Con, he asked me to contribute a Madman and Atomics Pin-up to a giant size special that is due to be released (tentatively) in December. This work was a real pleasure to do, as Mike and Laura have been huge influences on me since I first started this illustration trek.

Vehicle Magazine Cover...

Well, the lovely Tyler and Hilary Jenkins asked me to contribute a cover to Vehicle Magazine. Totally open-ended illustrations like this can be extremely challenging. So, I put together the wrap around cover seen above.

Sketchbook...

More drawing just to stay active. I don't like these sketchbook pages as much as the last, but that's life, man.

the Rat Bastards...

Okay, so I figure it's time to show a little glimpse of the project I have been working on with writer, Kurtis Wiebe. We call it the 'Rat Bastards'. During the Emerald City Comic Con, in Seattle, we passed out several proposal books to publishers and other creators. I've received a lot of very positive feedback on this work from other illustrators like Mike Allred and Gilbert Hernandez, and several top comic book publishers. Kurtis and I are both waiting in anticipation for someone to pick this series up. I've posted the cover and one interior.

schizophrenia illustration...

An illustration I did for my pal, Kyle Van Der Velden, for a social work project he has been working on. I'm not sure I dig the overall composition, but regardless...

FFWD spot: 'Alberta's Watchdog should be leashed'...

Alright, the first new illustration of April. This illustration accompanies an article written by Trevor Scott Howell. As it turns out, gimp masks are fun to draw. Maybe I'll make a career of that. Maybe. You can find the article here:

Comics Experience...

Alright, so as noted a couple posts below I collaborated with Justin Heggs on a short story, here is a link to where you can purchase the comic:

Fun drawing...

Don't seem to take the time and just draw for fun since getting busy. Well, I decided to change that last week. Hazzuh!

FFWD spot: 'Getting to know you'...

This was a wild one. FFWD needed an illustration done quickly before going to print Wednesday. I started this illustration at 10:30am yesterday, and finished by 3PM (that's including a 30 minute lunch break). I've never pushed myself like that before, you know, until I coloured 10 storyboards later that night. What a day.

And the article by Drew Anderson (about a friendly cat named Mark Hopkins):
