This is a digital commission featuring a fake movie poster for an adaptation of one of my favorite novels of all time.
The original line art measures 11 x 17 inches and was drawn on a Blue Line art board using Micron pens. The final artwork was colored in Photoshop CS4 using a Wacom Cintiq 21UX.
You can watch a recording of me coloring (most of) this piece on my Ustream channel HERE.

My friend and Spellbinder collaborator Matt Hebb asked me to do a pin-up for the graphic novel he recently completed work on, Wonderdog, Inc. (created and written by Scott Zirkel).
Pencil (line work) and Photoshop. (colors) Two and a half hours.
Had a blast doing this. Good luck with the book guys!

It's that time again. July . . . and that means that the San Diego Comic-Con will be starting much sooner that I'm ready for it to start. So much to do yet and so little time.
*sigh*
Anyway, I'll be there in Artist Alley, as usual. My Artist Alley table number is CC-18. I'll be next to my pal Grant Gould once again, which is great (he just announced that his graphic novel is becoming a webcomic, by the way).
This year at Comic-Con I'll be selling Oddly Normal books, natch.
I'll also have plenty of copies of Little White Rectangles Vol II, my 2009 con sketchbook. The interior pages contains 81 sketch card images from the last year or so and 27 7-7-Sunday commissions. As with last year's con sketchbook, it will be full color, cost just $1 and you will get a free drawing of any character you want on the cover! Can't beat that deal with a stick. No sir.
Here's a preview:
I'll also be selling a special 23 page preview ashcan of Spellbinder!
These ashcans will cost (drumroll) . . . one buck. That's right. One measly dollar. Get em while they're hot, folks.
These con sketchbooks and ashcans will only be available for purchase at comic book conventions, store signings or other public appearances. I will not be offering them for sale online.
I hope everyone gets a chance to pick one up from me and get a sketch! See you in San Diego!

EDIT: My two collaborators and my wife suggested some changes that would make the cover better. And since they were right, I complied. :)
