Exciting News!

Hello All!

So, its been a couple of weeks since we came back from Atlanta, GA’s much celebrated Dragon*Con.  We had a great time, got to meet a lot of really awesome people, and realized that we have super awesome Fans!  If you’re reading this and you met me at Dragon*Con, I’d like to thank you for stopping by and chatting- it made Dragon*Con ever so better!

My Panel, “Exploring the Mythic Image”, went exceedingly well! I appreciate everyone who came out and making it so interactive and thought provoking.

“The Price of Tea” issue #1 Limited Edition outsold everything else and many came back by to give us rave reviews! There’s but a few left, if you need one email me ($10 domestic s/h included).

The website is giving me b.s., so I’ll be changing a lot of things soon.  Upgrades mostly, but if you have any ideas, feel free to let me know!

Talk to ya’ll soon!

Greetings all!

It’s been a damn long time since I posted here last, and I’ve got a lot of work done since!  First off, the first installment of our Graphic Novel, The Price Of Tea, is printed and ready to go.  View info about it here. We’ve created a whole website that is devoted to being a companion piece to the graphic novel just in case you’re not up and up on your Japanese studies.  It’s simplistic, but very interactive with lots of cool art.

Secondly, we’re going to be in Atlanta, GA on Aug. 27th-Sept. 1st, so if you’re down that’a ways swing on over to Dragon*Con and track me down in the Art show area.  I’ll show you some original artwork and maybe draw you a little somethin’.  (Of course you can buy a bunch of neat stuff too)

Thirdly, Mythic Circle #30 is out with a plethora of my illustrations in it.  I have a few copies for sale, so if you’re interested… Email me. 

Oh, and if you haven’t noticed, there’s a few new paintings in the gallery.  Go have a look!

Talk to you soon!

Hello All!

2:25 am–

I finally finished work on the interior of the first installment of our Graphic Novel - “The Price of Tea.” I finished scanning and adding the words mere moments ago. I’ve uploaded the double page spread for tantilizing measures, so here ya go-

So now I have to paint like a crazed goon to finish up some other work not related to tea in any way (hopefully, although I’m jonesin’ for some cold green tea right now…). You ever get a painting you want to do stuck in your head? Well, my head’s full of them. So that’ll take up some serious time. I guess that’s what I get for visiting beautiful places even though it’s the seventh year for the cicadas! Oh their screams torment me so!

Ah yes, if you’re going to be in South-Western Virginia (NOT West-Virginia) June 21st-23rd and want to see some original artworks, drop me a line. I’ll be there, but let me know soon because my schedule is usually packed when I’m there.

Enough rambling, I’m off to sleep!
Talk to you soon!

In Fact, I WILL be at Dragon*Con in Atlanta, GA this year as an artist in the Art show and I’ll have a booth with all sorts of excitement there. Whoo! You’ll just have to show up to see it all! Originals, some Prints, Sketchbooks (’07 and ‘08!), crazy decorations, Con exclusives, and an installment of our Graphic Novel.
Yes, you read correctly- Bet you didn’t know I’ve been working on a Graphic novel for a damn long time now. It’s coming soon, the debate is on whether it’ll be thicker or thinner. Printing stuff is always complicated. There’ll be more stuff about that here as progress continues…
