S.F. Tribute book update...

The book debuted at the San Diego Comic convention yesterday.
So, I guess it's ok to post my submission now.



BAM!
I'm happy with it.

Major website update...

My personal website/portfolio is going through a major re-do/do-over right now.
Once it's up you'll be able to see more of my work both old and new. I plan to have some time lapse videos of me painting murals and maybe a Camtasia vid or two of some tablet sketching/painting.
from what my web designer tells me, I'll be able to make updates pretty simply through a blog feature he's adding (some complicated flash thing).
I know, I know..."Dude, make it yourself." I want to but, I'm just too busy to get into learning all that right now.

So be on the lookout....

and here's a sketch...

New Mural...

Despite having a hundred things to do, I painted a wall with some friends this morning.
In the 12yrs, or so, that this wall has been painted, I've never had the chance to paint there.
So, when I was invited I couldn't say no.



This was fun.
Looking forward to the next one...
