BENT-CON 2011

2011-10-08T18:16:00.000-07:00

I will be signing at the second annual BENT-CON, a convention celebrating LGBT and LGBT-friendly comic creators, this December. The first BENT-CON last year was a lot of fun and this one is shaping up to be 10 times as great! Make sure you visit BENT-CON’s website at bent-con.org for more info and to purchase your tickets in advance to save some money. I honestly can’t wait for this event and hope to see YOU there!

My Mega Man pinup will not be used in the upcoming tribute book, but I thought I would show it off anyway. :)

2011-04-04T14:59:00.000-07:00

I've been busy with both day job stuff and art projects that I can't show anything from just yet, but wanted to post something so here is the Aries zodiac sign illustration which I haven't shared here before and a brand spanking new piece for Taurus!

Happy Valentine's Day

2011-02-14T00:45:00.000-08:00

I thought I would celebrate today by posting my favorite comic book couple. It also happens to be one of my favorite illustrations from last year, done for DC Comics' 75th anniversary tribute in the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con International souvenir book. Catwoman in retro green...whats not for Batman to love?!

Ratboy Loves Cheese

2011-02-08T14:24:00.000-08:00

And I love Ratboy! He's a personal favorite character of mine (and fan-favorite going by people who talk to me at conventions) who is about to get some serious love...more to come!

Love And Death

2011-02-08T13:34:00.000-08:00

Another romantic one for February. An older illustration, in fact the first full-color image done of my characters Che and Dimitri together. They obviously have some issues... A greeting Card and other merchandise with this image can be purchased here.

Love Is In The Air

2011-02-04T14:58:00.000-08:00

I'm always a hopeless romantic, but with Valentine's Day coming up, I thought I'd share a couple of romantic images that are currently available as art prints, greeting cards and on various other items in the design store.

Drag Race

2011-02-01T14:31:00.000-08:00

Anyone watching the new season of RuPaul's Drag Race? Not sure what I think about this new season yet, as far as who will win (maybe Raja), but the girls are definitely going to let each other have it. Here's a commission for a friend that I did around the time the last season was on.

Chinese New Year

2011-01-20T10:00:00.000-08:00

The Chinese New Year will be here in a couple of weeks, so I thought I would do a new Zodiac Boy for the occasion. 2011's Chinese Zodiac sign is the Rabbit, so here he is all cute and fluffy:

And here is a second new Zodiac sign I've recently finished as well:
