My cover for Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake: Issue #3!!! SO EXCITING! If you’re sitting there being like, “hey, that looks familiar,” you’re right! It’s a parody of the famous Conan the Barbarian cover done by the almighty Frank Frazetta. Thanx to AD Adam Staffaroni of Boom! Studios and, of course, Fionna/Cake creator Natasha Allegri. Go pick one up at your local comic shop around mid-January!

PHOENIX preview!

Here's a sneak preview of the foldout for the comic I'm working on for MoCCA! I'm really excited!!! It's about a jungle boy! MORE TO COME... SOON!!!

WOW it's been a while! I've been doing things, I promise!!! I'm working for the super awesome Daniel Krall as a studio assistant doing his photoshop gruntwork and eating lots of pizza. I've been posting fun things on my tumblr like these! I'm also working on a comic for MoCCA! SNEAK PEEK HERE ONLY SPARKLE SPARKLE!!!!

Star Trek! (and other less important things)

So me and my bro are really into Star Trek. And we talk about it all the time. Seriously, we make references to Romulans any chance we get. Stupid Romulans. I think this might be my father's influence. I have heard rumblings that growing up in Kansas is very boring, and to stay entertained, my dad would marathon it in his basement with the A/C turned all the way up and pretend he was in space. Just saying.

I'm feeling better about comics than I have all year. Most comics now, I feel, are kind of TERRIBLE. The same old same old over and over, and even the good ones fall to cliche and poor writing (or poor development, maybe). Especially being at MICA, where everyone is influenced by all the same artists, authors, ideas, and peers, it's nearly impossible to break away from the norm. Being away from that all summer has renewed my faith in comic-kind. Don't let me down, world!


PS] I love Beyonce.

Summer Stuff Part 2

HAHAHA HOO BOY. Brian Ralph had us do a comic in another artist's style, and who else would I pick but my super faves, Hellboy and Scott Pilgrim (there's a movie coming out, check it)! Yeah, so this is a page right out of Hellboy. If you pretend that I'm Brian Lee O'Malley, it's totally cool, right? Also, I did a character study before-hand so I could make sure I knew which end of the brush to use (it's the end with the bristles) which I thought turned out pretty ok, so here it is for your viewing pleasure!

Summer Stuff Part 1

Here's my final comic for Brian Ralph's class this summer! You can't see the rest of my comics until I can sneak into the studio and get at the big scanner!

Anyway, I only had time to color the first page (and shoddily at that, oh ho ho), but angry tiny nerds are great. (SECRET: THE COOL KIDS ARE BASED OFF OF MIKA NAKANO AND BRIAN RALPH TEE HEE.)
