Soooooo the webcomic site still doesn't have stuff posted, but here are a few more random images:


And since there's a lack of my own stuff to post, I urge you to check out the art of an old aquaintance of mine, Dillon Ekren: LINK!

Since Comicfest is here in Denver this weekend, I decided I should make some
business cards with my updated info on them. I like small surprises. Like when a
ceramic cup has a dull glaze on the outside and then you look inside of it and it has vibrant
green or red or something. So, this time I'm taking individual drawings/sketches that
I've done, stuff that would probably never sell and that I don't need anymore, and I
am wrapping them in stylish origami paper so that people have to open the paper up to
find the original artwork and my info on them. Surprise!! And high five!

Sketches from the past few days. It's a wonder what a person can get done when they stay focused!

I'm going to be at Time Warp Comics in Boulder this Saturday the 2nd for Free Comic Book Day. Here's the press release:

Free Comic Book Day Allows Fans to Beat the Recession And Enjoy New Titles
Local Artists Work Will Be Auctioned Off To Benefit CU’s Literature Department At the Event

Boulder, CO- Free Comic Book Day is a single day - the first Saturday in May - when participating comic book shops across North America and around the world give away comic books absolutely FREE* to anyone who comes into their stores. The day provides an excellent opportunity for fans to beat the recession and experience new comic book titles at no cost.

Mainstay Boulder comic book shop, Time Warp Comics and Cards will be participating in the giveaway event and a charity benefit auction.

Local comic book creators, Nick Runge (IDW Terminator:Salvation, the Badger), Daniel Crosier(Bartholomew of the Scissors), Scorpio Steele (Marvel Comics), John Porcellino (King-Cat), Kevin Gentilcore (Ray Harryhaussen’s Back to Mysterious Island, Karl Christian Krumpholz (Byron), Lee Oaks (Thunder Monkey), Noah Van Sciver (Westword, Blammo), and Leila Del Luca will take part in live, large-scaled illustrations during the day. Their work will be auctioned off to fans, and art enthusiasts, to benefit unique literature events and fund speaking engagements for both CU and the community.

Crosier, nationally known for the wood-burned comic book series, Bartholomew of the Scissors, helped organize the event. “Free comic book day is the perfect tie-in for the live drawing auction, states Crosier. I’m really excited about the local artist that will be participating, meeting comic book enthusiasts, and helping out CU and community related programs. I want to thank everyone involved in the comic book community for their help pulling this amazing event together.”

Details on the event include;
