Work and Commissions Update

 I'd say it's about time for an update on all the goings on around here. (Thanks to all for the inquiries and emails, btw) I've been pretty busy and have a ton of work coming down the pike. 

 * Comics: The pages for Beau Smith's Parts Unknown are finished and I'm looking forward to seeing those in the comic and eventual GN. 

 I've been also getting other pages ready to show around as I will be at the New York Comic con coming up next weekend. (Feb 6-8) Last year was awesome, but tiring. I'll be more prepared for it this year and hope to see a bunch of friends I don't get to see often.

 *  Sketchcards: I know many of you will be happy to know I am signed on for 3 new sets coming out this year. The first is X-men Origins: Wolverine set, which I've started working on already but will be a very limited number. 

The second is the X-men Archives set and will be more like the FF and Avengers sets. I also have a little something special planned for that set and hope it works out.

 The third set I've signed on for hasn't been announced yet so you'll just have to keep wondering about that one. Over all I've been throwing some different styles around for these new sets just to keep it interesting and different. We'll see how that goes as well. I have no numbers of how many I did for these sets as I haven't even drawn them yet.

 * Commissions: Unfortunately, the best laid plans do often go astray, and this first quarter of the year is no exception. I was hoping to start commissions again by mid January, but due to the above mentioned work and the deadlines that have come with them, I have to put off any commissions indefinitely. I will post here and other sites when I eventually will start them up again and to give you guys plenty of warning. Thanks for understanding and stay tuned.

  Ebay: I've also been planning on weeding out some of these Sketches I have from various sets 

  from my personal collection. So keep your eyes open.

Dano,

 I've been trying to contact you for awhile, I've lost all your new info and all the other attempts over the last few weeks seemed to have failed. I know you check in here once in awhile so if you get this, call or email.

Now back to the regularly scheduled programming.

MOVING RIGHT ALONG.

 Well, New Years came and went pretty

fast. It's always been a time for reflection and remembrance, good things to come, blah blah blah and all that stuff. The way I see it, it's really just a point on the calender that most people use as a time to finally let hope for a better future sink in and flush the toilet of the past years crap. I try to do that at the end of every month. Other than a few bumps my year wasn't that bad, but it's still nice to have that little extra feeling that this year will even be better. 

  Things do look pretty good for this year and I can't wait to dive right in. I've been working pretty hard at getting back into comics after taking some time off from it (way too much time, my mistake) and the work has been paying off. I'm currently doing some pencils and inks on a comic for Beau Smith that will probably coming out this year, I've just finished up some Inking work on the Phantom book for Egmont, and I've got another comic job I'm working on to get off the ground. It's just feels so good to get back to story telling again and working on board larger than 2.5" x 3.5". 

  "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in" For all my Trading card fans, although I have been trying to cut back on Sketch card work (with all the new releases of older sketch sets I've worked on it doesn't seem that way) it looks like I'll still be working on at least one set or maybe 2 here and there which will probably be comic related.  There is still a Star Trek set yet to be released with sketches I did for it. Maybe this year. 

 You know who you are - Thanks to all for the emails and kind words throughout the year. I've got better things planned and can't wait to show you. 

Heres to finding enough time to get everything done.
