Tried a quick one before getting back to penciling.

the STRANGERS: ONI PRESS FCBD...

2013 is shaping up to be a terrific year!  Announced with all the other Free Comic Book Day titles last month was my upcoming series with [pause for effect] CHRIS ROBERSON!  I know, I know, I don't get it either.  I mean, IZombie, Memorial, MASKS, Edison Rex -- I'm in pretty good company.  Please, ensure to mention it to your local retailer.  Creator-owned relies heavily upon PRE-ORDERS and this rip-roaring new series is well worth your time.  And, hey, it's free! I'm having an absolute blast with it.  More artwork soon!

And the description:

W) Chris Roberson (A/CA) Scott Kowalchuk
"The last thing you want to see is my hands." They're called The Strangers. They're deadly. Dangerous. And you'll never see them unless they want you to. But now they've come up against something big — U.S. government big; a cover-up of international proportions. And at the center of it all is The Strangers' deadliest foe, a man known only as “Capricorn”; a man who knows The Strangers…. sees them.

NYCC: ONI PRESS announces DOWN! SET! FIGHT!...

My latest book, with publisher ONI PRESS, was announced this weekend at the New York Comic Con!  It's a terrific read, written by the almost equally terrific Chris Sims and Chad Bowers.  Below the Press Release as well as some links (including EIC James Lucas Jones vision for the NEW ONIPRESS.COM -- I'm really excited to be part of this):

"In DOWN SET FIGHT, "Fearless" Chuck Fairlane was one of the fastest rising stars in professional football, but his career came to a screeching halt when he was expelled from game after causing the biggest team-on-team brawl in the history of sports. Today, Chuck's a teacher and football coach at Darius Rucker High School in Columbia, South Carolina, and is more than content in his new life. But when costumed mascots begin attacking him for seemingly no reason, Chuck soon discovers that even though he’s put the past behind him, it’s not always so easy to move on."

Doctor Doom in Colour...

Playing around with an old commission for 30 minutes before calling it a night.

Ambush Bug & the Heckler on the Muppet Show...

The single greatest idea I have ever been pitched for a commission.  You completely rock, Rich!  I hope someone out there wants to try and colour this.

Damian Wayne Robin...

I love drawing Robin.  Not terribly familiar with the Damian Robin, but he's a blast to draw!  Thanks, Justin.

Scooby Doo: Velma vs Professor Pericles...

 

Dear Blogger:

Long time, no talk.  I've been busy.  The always terrific Calgary Red and White Show today.  Boatload of commissions, starting with this one.  I adore Scooby Doo.  One property I'm actually desperate to work on!  Thanks, Ben!

Saskaoon Blitz: Look Straight Ahead...

Independent comic characters are an avenue I wouldn't normally tread, but Elaine M Will's LOOK STRAIGHT AHEAD is terrific!  Someone needs to publish the hell out of this series.

Saskatoon Blitz -- Evil Ernie...

I don't know the first thing about CHAOS Comics -- but, I'm always up for a challenge.  Plus, there's no way I could turn down Neil Makohon.
