Back in the Saddle

Okay, so...

It's been a while since I last posted here. Sorry! Twitter makes things easy and I can do it by phone!

Anyway, what's been happening?

I've moved into a new place with a couple of the coolest dudes you could want to meet.

My parents officially separated.

My final TMNT comic (for the time being at least) is currently in the capable hands of my good friend Steve Lavigne.

I'm knee deep in research for Tyrant Earth, which has been a heap of fun and is finally looking like it should.

I'm hoping I've got the girl I was after to sit as reference for a character in my script+art OGN project (meeting with her next week to discuss -- book still a ways off though).

I'm working on a Zuda project with one of the coolest artists I've met (keep an eye out -- "Six to the Head" -- ghost story set in the Old West), and the same artist will be working on "Skinwalkers" after.

Bought TMNT - Smash Up! and was pretty disappointed. The Jim Lawson/Eric Talbot cutscenes were amazing, but the game itself was just really disappointing.

Currently re-editing a promo real for a male strip-show. Was told it was "too porno". Go figure!

I've landed a "job" reviewing Wiiware games for www.vooks.net. I say "job" because I get paid in games :)

Also back reviewing games and comics with a mate at www.digital-retribution.com. By buddy wrote the first one -- Dead Space: Extraction. I'm doing the game review, which should be up soonish.

Need a new job.

Need more comic work.

Also, be sure to pick up Ghostbusters: Displaced Aggression, by IDW. It's a great book and the better these books sell, the more chance you have at seeing me write a mini-series. Two words: Stay Puft. You should be checking this book out anyways, TMNT artist Diego Jourdan is illustrating the X-Mas oneshot, and it looks great!

More to come!

Peace!

Tales #50 Preview

The preview for Tales of the TMNT #50 just went live on the Ninja Turtles website, so hopefully that means it'll hit shelves in the next couple of weeks. It's a bigger than average issue, with a fantastic back-up by Ryan Brown, who came up with much of the direction for this story.

Check that out right HERE.

In other news, Tyrant Earth FINALLY has an artist attached and I could not be happier! His name is David Vazquez. If you hit up DeviantArt and check out 1ithium you'll find some more dinosaurs! Very excited, this means I now have two of my own books on the go, both of which I've been planning for a long time. Dinosaurs seem to be something of a bugbear for artists, along the same lines as the devil (right Ross?), and I'm glad that after looking for so long, someone this awesome has stepped up to the plate! Kind of reminds me of Humberto Ramos, or Chris Bachalo.

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!
