The Busy Bee Catches the early bird and maybe a worm or two....ummmm or something like that.....

Hi again, it's Monday. Yup and it sure feels like it to when you have to deal with an Internet connection that runs slower sometimes then dial up and then just randomly likes to disconnect at the most inconvenient times. That's why it is 1:12 am and I am typing the blog with eyes half wide open. There's a lot to talk about but I think at this point I'm just gonna give a quick run down of what's going on in my art world so I can get some beauty sleep. Yeah I know what your thinking, I'm the last person who needs beauty sleep, am I right?! Anyways, I attended my first meeting with the guys at Twilight Star Studios and it was a pleasure to sit and discuss all that they are doing and planning and actually are going about it all in the right ways. Boy did I get lucky stumbling across this crew of talented and business minded folks! They gave me my first pages to work with doing inking and lettering so here is where it all starts! I myself and the rest of the guys from Twilight Star Studios will be attending the Champion City Comic Con on Sept 11th in Springfield, Ohio and we will have a table selling all of our swag, Including three new titles from Twilight Star Productions and also My BRIT & IVY Prints will be available there too! There's no better reason to attend, so mark your calenders folks!

I completed pages 2 & 3 of Phoebe & Eddie this week, which are posted below, so take a peak and let me know what ya think so far.

On the BRIT & IVY front, I have begun writing the first script for BRIT & IVY's first full length story, so keep an eye out I am sure it will be out in front of your eyes before ya know it!

OK, before I go into a brain coma from lack of sleep, here is BRIT & IVY #12 to sink your teeth into!!!

peace, love and laughter,

A Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin On!

Yo yo yo! What's goin' on every body! It's Monday again and what a better way to spend it than to read my mindless ramblings! LOL. It has a been a busy week and I have been working on some different projects. First up, I have been working on a five pager for Tony Doug Wright over at Champion City Comics (www.championcitycomcis.com). The story is entitled " Phoebe & Eddie. He gave me permission to show what I have done so far so check it out below. I can relate to it on so many different levels. Those who know me will catch on real quick from the first page. I will post more as I complete it.

Next up, Bill Gladman and myself have been working on a weekly Web Strip entitled "The Bumtastic Four". I have been working on character Sketches and he has been writing scripts. I will keep you updated as this becomes more solidified.

Last, but not Least, I just completed strip 15 of BRIT & IVY which puts me about 2 months ahead of schedule for the weekly run that it has seen in "The Springfield Paper" (www.thespringfieldpaper.com) So I am gonna take some time off from the weekly strip and work on a full length adventure featuring these two wonderful characters!

Until then.........enjoy what strips are left to come!!!!

BRIT & IVY #11!!!!

What a Crazy Time At Super-Fly Comics! Plus A Bunch of Other Cool Stuff!

As I type this, I dread the fact that my vacation ends as of 9 am tomorrow morning and I have to return to my day job. I did have an incredible vacation with incredible people, I just hate that it went by soooooo fast! I did also get the opportunity to get a lot of artwork done so it was beneficial to take the time off in many different ways.

I have been moving right along with the BRIT & IVY strips and I think I am on strip #14 as we speak. 10 more and I can start submitting to syndicates. WOOO HOO!! I have gotten a few requests for T-shirts featuring BRIT & IVY so I am in the process of getting those underway also!

At the beginning of last week, I signed on to do a 5 page project with Tony Wright, a cool individual who runs Champion City Comics (www.championcitycomics.com) The project is currently titled Phoebe & Eddie and no, I don't do art just for projects named after two people, it just happened that way LOL. Anyways, The writing is right up my alley and I was hooked instantly. I will be doing all the artwork for it including the Lettering. When I am able, I will start posting some stuff on here related to this project. Be sure to also check out www.championcitycomics.com to stay up to date on all that is going on over there also. Another cool little fact about Tony Wright is that he is a former Springfieldian, hence the company being named Champion City Comics! What a small small world it is!

Now for new on the Art Show! As always, a great, great experience. The guys at Super-Fly Comics (www.superflycomics.com) always go beyond the call of duty to make it an incredible experience. Jay King ( http://tabletopfetus.com ), Zane Reichert (http://zhreichert.deviantart.com ) and two individuals from the local studio, Twilight Star Studios, were in attendance. It started off with very hot and humid weather leading to some pretty nasty thunderstorms, so turn out wasn't incredible but those who did come in the door were pleasant and a joy to talk to and discuss our craft with. I was at the table with the Twilight guys, noooooo, not Jacob and Edward, but Bill and Gary. We hit it off well and as time went by, we were discussing me becoming a part of what they do! Soooooo, I will be sure to keep you posted on how this all evolves in coming weeks! You can check out there take on this event with pictures to boot at

http://www.comicrelated.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=9105&st=20&gopid=53425&#entry53425

Zane has been at a good amount of the art shows and is a really cool guy on top of being an incredible sci-fi/fantasy artist. If he keeps it up, He'll be making the big bucks in no time!

Jay joined us last during the art show on Free Comic Day and not to be biased, but this guy has the making to make it, big time! Here is an Illustration that he Sketched up at the art show just to give ya a taste of what this man can do.

So over all, great people and a great time as always!

And now to close this blog as always, I bring to you, BRIT & IVY #10!!!



Until next time!
