It's official!

The word is out. It's official. Gabby and Gator the graphic novel will be coming to book stores in April of 2010. I'm finally able to announce that I've signed with Yen Press. They will be publishing the book, tentatively titled, Gabby and Gator. The book will be Hard bound(9.25 x 9.25),in color and around a 184 pages.

I currently have the entire book roughed out and I'm awaiting any notes from the publisher. Once I get those then I will start cleaning up the pages and coloring them for delivery in July. I'll keep you posted as things develop.

My wife and I were working on some designs for a freelance gig and she drew this image to go on a characters t shirt. Obviously it's a parody of the Obama poster. Anyway, I thought I'd post it for all to see.

The Future of Hats

This is the latest in amphibian head wear. It's guaranteed to keep your head warm. Although it may smell a little and could cause vomiting (not to the wearer but to those around them). They'll be hopping off store shelves so get yours before they're gone.

Here is my mock cover for my Gabby and Gator book.

The Furture of Men's Fashion

I predict that the future of men's fashion will be fish pants and dive helmets. I don't know...it's just a feeling. I have a sick sense for fashion.

Bottled up for Eternity...

So I'm watching that show on Discovery called, How It's Made. As I'm watching them make a casket I start to think, what a waste of money. You're dead and they're going to put it in the ground and throw dirt on it. Do you really need Mahogany and gold knobs and such. I think not.

But...it gets better.

The very next thing they show is how they bottle soda. Which gives me the idea! Why not bury people in bottles. I know, it is a little unconventional, but just think of the peace of mind you'll have, knowing that the casket you're eternally resting in is made from 100% recycled glass. Who needs a pryamid when you have a bottle.

I know it's weird,a bit odd, and slightly disturbing, but that's the way I think.

Happy New Year!

Happy Holidays!

Just wanted to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday. And say thanks to everyone who helped make 2008 a great year. I look forward to 2009 and the great things that lie ahead. There are many doors to open and mysteries to solve.

Penguins and Kindergartners

I recently volunteered at my daughters Kindergarten class. I gave a little art lesson about creating art using the basic shapes. I brought in all the shapes you see above and we assembled Holiday Penguins. It was really fun and interesting. It was cool to see how even though the kids all had the same shapes, the penguins they made all looked slightly different.

Here are a few designs from one of my upcoming stories that I'm working on. That's all I'll say about it at the moment. Once I finish up with the Gabby and Gator graphic novel I'll begin working on it.

The Gabby and Gator graphic novel is moving ahead swiftly. I should have some news on that come the new year. For now though I'm just trying to get the story roughed out.

I'm currently unemployed. I finished up on the second season of Wow Wow Wubbzy at the end of November. I'm spending my time with the family. Walking my daughter to school. Doing yard work. Hanging Christmas lights. I don't have anything lined up in terms of a studio job. I have a possible freelance gig come January. But that is pretty much it.
