Hey everyone, some of you might have heard, but I will be moving in September, and due to working on my own graphic novel, will not be doing conventions or commissions for the next 2 years or so.

So this summer is your last chance to grab any of the prints you've seen on my Deviant Art page.  All of the 'HEADSHOTS' are just $5 each, and you can get a deal by buying 2, and get 1 free!

Shoot me a message if you're interested!

I'm trying to do lots more conventions this year, so I'll certainly keep this list as up-to-date as possible.  Here's what I've got so far up through the Spring.

Feb. 27--MSU Comic Forum--Lansing, MI
Mar. 13--Sarnia Pop Culture Show--Sarnia, ON
Mar. 18-20--Toronto Comic Con--Toronto, ON
Apr. 16-17--Fantasticon--Toledo, OH
May 7--Free Comic Book Day (Green Brain Comics)--Dearborn, MI
May 13-15--Motor City Comic Con--Novi, MI
May 27-29--Cherry Capital Comic Con--Traverse City, MI

I'm also going to add a discount to any commissions purchased before a convention.
Portrait (5x7)--Convention Price $25, Discounted to $20!
Draw you as your favorite character (5x7)--Convention Price $40, Discounted to $35!
Torso (5x7)--Convention Price $50, Discounted to $40!
Full Figure (9x12)--Convention Price $75, Discounted to $65!
Shoot me a message if you want a commission and will pick it up at one of these shows!

And be sure to check my stuff out on other social media too!  Convention announcements and new art are posted (a bit more frequently than here )

Such, however, is chivalry’s reward—its tail is knotted with sorrow’s snares.

Hey everyone!

So here's the lowdown.  I'm going to San Diego Comic Con, as well as New York Special Edition this summer.  These are great opportunities for me to pitch the graphic novel project I've been working on, as well as enlarge the fanbase and network of other professionals more than I've ever been able to.  The only problem is that both of these trips are pretty expensive.

So I'm holding a commission drive!  I'll draw a B&W 5x7 sketch of any character you want (Movies, TV, Comics, etc.) for just $25!  If you've ever thought about a commission from me, NOW IS THE TIME!

Remember, I will not be at C2E2 this year, and Motor City Comic Con looks like it won't happen for me either.  So if you are in the Detroit or Chicago area and were hoping to see me at one of those shows, that's not going to happen.

Message me for payment info, and we can get things started!

I'll be posting a lot of the artwork here on DA, so be on the lookout.

'Tis a gift to be simple,
'Tis a gift to be free,
'Tis a gift to come down where you want to be
And when you find yourself in the place that is right
You'll be in the valley of Love and Delight.
--Quaker Hymn 'Simple Gifts'

Obviously, there's a lot going on here.  I'm really bummed out about not making it to those 4 at the bottom.  Scheduling has been very difficult this year.  If you are interested in a commission and I won't be at a show you're attending, please get in touch with me; I'd be happy to work something out with you.

'Listen now to a further point: no mortal thing
Has a beginning, nor does it end in death and obliteration;
There is only a mixing and then a separating of what was mixed,
But by mortal men these practices are named "beginnings".'
--Empedocles of Acragas

The latest comic project I'm a part of is the 'Unlawful Good: A Crime Anthology' which has a story I illustrate, 'Obsidian.'

Please go on over and check out the kickstarter.  There are a lot of great creators involved in this project, and even better, there are some great incentives for donating (including a commission from me!)!

Be sure to check back here soon for some more buzz about 'Unlawful Good,' and maybe a few previews of the comic!

'O the joy of that vast elemental sympathy which only the human soul is
capable of generating and emitting in steady and limitless floods.'
