Creator Owned!

I'm very excited to report that my first creator owned effort has finally taken off! Posted are very rough designs for key characters in a yet to be titled Western horror book. The extremely talented Italian artist Dario Folliero (dfolliero.blogspot.com) sent me these this a couple of hours ago after receiving the first part of the script earlier today. I'm really excited about this! My current immediate projects are now The Return of the COWBoys of Moo Mesa, this, and Tyrant Earth, which also looks like it will have an attached artist very soon!

More as it comes! Fingers crossed everyone!

The Pipeline and Hulk

I have four new projects in the pipelines at the moment, one of which (if all pans out well) will be a non-turtles sci-fi book with Paul Harmon (the dude has some AWESOME ideas and if you haven't visited his artblog - click it over on the right there). I've been doing more art for Cereal:Geek which has been a heck of a lot of fun, and I've been told #4 is almost ready for print, so all you Ghostbusters fans be sure to check that out (along with all you Turtle, Transformers, Carebears, GI JOE, MOTU and whatever else fans).

A follow up to Tales #36 has been approved and is headed into script phase today!

My creator owned project is nearly totally scripted, and I've started the art!

Indy 4 got me all reinspired and I've started what I'm hoping will be my final draft on the COWBoys of Moo Mesa story!

Also went and saw The Incredible Hulk with some good friends the other night. It was fun. I'm not a big Hulk fan, and to be honest, I don't particularly enjoy Edward Norton, but I had fun in this. It's far from perfect, but it's a decent night out. I really liked the first one, and I think if the two films were combined -- particular elements from both -- it would've been a top notch comic book movie and Hulk movie.

Back Home

The Summer work period has come to an end and I'm once again back home in Mont Albert and unemployed. Sveet.

It's good to be back, and I can finally get focused on my comic book projects. Moo Mesa is moving along nicely, TMNT is happening and I should have some more Titan stuff out in a week or so. Working on a Tobin's Spirit Guide for Cereal:Geek which is something I've wanted to do for YEARS, so I'm stoked to be able to do that. Here's a tease...


It's taken me a fucking long time to reach a point where I'm happy with the above character's head. It looks simple, but there was an essence to the character that I never felt I'd captured in any of the other attempts. I'll post the other attempts later, but RGB fans will know where I'm coming from...

Bit braindead at the moment. Been watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer pretty much non-stop for the past couple of days, which has been fun, but clearly hasn't helped.

Anyway, here're some scribbles I did for the Moo Mesa project. Roughs of how I see certain characters in the story...
