Out with 2009 and in with 2010!

Its hard to believe but this year is finished and we are about to enter 2010. This new year is starting to look even brighter then this past year, I'm really excited about it.

I'll be taking a very very very long awaited vacation in January which I'll talk about later. And then I'll be bu$$ting my a$$ doing freelance work so I can make it to a couple of conventions this year. I'll talk more about that later too.

Thanks to those of you who continue to take interest in my work. I want to take it to the next level for this new year so please stay tuned. By the way I decided not to submit my comic to the contest that I was talking about before due to time constraints. It just wasn't going to happen because I had so much other stuff going on. That doesn't mean that I will not submit for next year and that doesn't mean that I still will not illustrate the comic so I can have a published comic to put on the table at comic cons for 2010. I have the script written out so I'll just need to illustrate it so I want to have it ready for the conventions for 2010 and I would also like to create a sketch book.

I hope you all have a safe and happy new year. As for me, I'm off to church to celebrate the new year. Take care!

I really do enjoy doing them and its great exposure but they do eat up alot of time but these will be my last 2 sets of the year. For next year I'll probably take on less card sets so I can work on personal projects. I should be done with these 2 card sets by the end of this week so then I can get back on track.

Anyways I started getting some goods made through some vendors of my art work featured on various items such as mugs, buttons, and purses.

Trying to finish up

I find myself having a hard time getting back into the groove of things. I have multiple commissions to finish up and I have Mandy Cards that need to be finished up asap. I think I was spoiled way too much when I was at Baltimore Con because now a week later I'm having a hard time sitting down and focusing on drawings that need to be completed. I have to get re-focused. Hoping I can start fresh tomorrow after a good morning of church. Good night. ^_^

X-men Sketch B-day gift

This was a birthday gift for my brother's 24th birthday on Oct. 13. He said he is going to get it framed. ^_^

The border was cropped drastically because my scanner is too small :(

I told him not to sell it because when I get famous it will be worth a ton of $$$$ lol. He said he won't sell it unless he becomes homeless or something hahaaa.

I'm Back ^-^

***Sorry, this may be a bit long....

So I got back from Baltimore Comic Con yesterday. I had a great time there, everyone was generally nice and friendly and there was so much talent in the artist alley. I'm not good with names but I do remember the array of awesome art everywhere. I met a couple of people who knew me from online which was awesome. lol, sometimes I don't think people look at my work but there was a ton of people who recognized my art, it was great.

I wasn't able to leave my table much because we were pretty busy. When I did I had to make it quick. In fact I quickly toured the whole artist alley (178 booths) within in 30 mins. I wish I could have spent more time talking with the artists. I did talk to a few artist such as Brian Kong, Joe Peaker, Nicole Goff (we went to Joe Kubert school together) and several others. I'm not very good with names but I do remember faces and the art work. Thanks for those of you who stopped by or purchased items, I appreciate it! I will defiantly make a effort to come back next year. I need to get my finances straight for now, this was my last con of the year.

Ok so on to the good stuff. I forgot to take pictures of the majority of the con sketches I did so if you have any pics. and can send them to me then that would be great. I managed to get a pic. of one sketch that Arie Monroe and I worked on. This is of Poison Ivy. I did the pencils and Arie did the color work. We have not done a collab. in ages so it was alot of fun despite that we only got 3 hours of sleep once it was completed. This con sketch was for Tom Andress (he works with Frank Cho). Tom knew of our work from online and ebay so he commissioned us for this pieces, we were honored. Thanks Tom ^-^





I was not able to take alot of pictures with other artist and stuff like I wanted too because I was glued to my table but I did manage to snag a few cosplay photos from my table. I hope you enjoy them:

From left to right:

***Powder Toast Man was Easily my most favorite Cosplay of the weekend, it was so epic!

Princess Leia, Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Scarlet Witch, Powder Toast Man from Ren and Stimpy (this was so awesome), Thor and chibi batman and captain america, Black Canary, Ghostbusters, Zatanna, Hawkgirl, Spiderman and Mary Jane, Princess Sailor Moon and Mars, Orion High School Character (I think), Rogue, White Queen, Poison Ivy, Joker, and Chetata


***Thanks to all of you who let me take pictures, You all did a great job!

Heading out to Baltimore Comic Con

I'm heading out to Baltimore Comic Con this evening. I'm really tired and still have packing to do (-_-). It will all be worth it on opening day. I'll be at table #23 at the con with Arie Monroe. Here is our galleries:
