Your eyes doth not deceive you...

Yes, it's a new post...Yes, it's been a while....Yes, THIS BLOG IS NOW BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER!!! That's right. Go through my archives. You'll find there's nothing there but CRAP compared to what's gonna come out now!

Dragony goodness.


Then I was playing around with some concepts for a spidery demon-like beast from hell. I call him, the spidery demon-like beast from hell. Took a while to come with that so feel free to laugh it up...

WonderCon Pics

OK, so as promised here are the WonderCon pics!!!

Long car ride of "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?..."

We made it!!!

Got there and Trey was all alone...So sad. Upon my arrival it's clear I did absolutely nothing to cheer him up, hahahaha.

After clearly cheering up Trey, I posed with my girlfriend, Allyson. She's awesome!! She's basically like me, only sensible, cuter and with boobs!! And it was our first road trip together!! (Awwwwww....)

Setting up the both on the first day and displaying our awesome banner!

Saturday we were all there and looked quite snazzy in orange if I do say so myself.

Gotta give back to the childrens.

Ok, so Sunday we finally had some time to leave our God-forsaken booth and venture around. As a result I got to meet one of my huge heroes going all the way back to school: Ragnar!! You know you've made it when you only go by one name. And as usual, totally made an ass of myself, hahaha.

Bought some Silver guy's 2nd sketchbook and he drew this girl in it. Gotta support new up and coming artists, y'know?

This one's for you Steve...

Wolvy and a rarely seen Bishop!

At the end we were all weary as hell. Robert cried. I hung myself. The end. Dontcha just love happy endings?...

WonderCon 2011

Wow, it's been a while but I figured I should probably post something....Just came back from WonderCon and had a blast!!! Thank you to all those that visited the Orange Shirt Studio booth!!! We're ecstatic that so many people dig what we're trying to do! We'll begin efforts to make a site and have links to purchase all items sold at Con including our new anthology, Unforeseen Voyage, including my own comic, "12 Bars"!....Pics of the expo to come soon!!!



12 Bars Sample Page!!

A Farewell

OK, this post is obviously long overdue....Long story short: Busy as hell; harvesting urine for future consumption; revenge on world later. But definitely more posts on the horizon. Enjoy!

Gurls Again!!??!

God I need a girlfriend (or not). Perhaps I should try using this blog as a means to dating. Because, as we all know, my audience on here is comprised mostly of the female gender.....BUWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I enjoy [short] romantic walks on the beach, cuddling by the fire place, oh, and SMASHING MY FOES TO PIECES, WITH BUT A THOUGHT!!!! If you look like any of the following pics, send your 5x7 pictures and profiles to "The Date A Tal Foundation"....

Started with a copy of a Presing original.


Obviously NOT, a Presing original, hahaha.


And I say this all the time and then never follow through, but I may color this one.

Talkuma!!!!

Unleashed my evil intent....Mmmm, smells like rotten coleslaw!!!

Klassic Korner 3 (I think)

Hey so it's been a while since my last installment of Klassic Korner.....And I just couldn't resist this gem from days past.

I watched "a classic" the other day and I immediately searched for a comic I had created for Forkan's "Cartooning" class, from about 5-6 years ago......Forkan obviously had nothing but praise for it, hahahahaha. Do note the amazingly realistic, Torgo vibrating action. Enjoy!






One word: BUWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Cows go mooooooooo....

Los Azules

Heeeeeeey, so Mexico was fun. The place we stayed at was insane! I'll try and post the pics as soon as I download 'em.

Anywho, I'm still a little behind on the posting, so here are some more sketches. I've started to gain some reference for my comic in terms of blues musicians. Been looking at some of my favorites to include within the pages of my masterpiece.

Johnny Winter


John Lee Hooker....By far the most difficult to draw out of the blues men I've chosen.


Willie Dixon heads....Weird because he seemed to have a different look in every image I've looked upon.


And this seems to be tradition, to have the oddest sketches at the end. It was supposed to be me originally but something went terribly, terribly wrong. Didn't really stop me from seeing it through though, haha. I may try and paint this one.
