I've got Comic-Con all squared away.. Now all I need is to make sure I'm prepared with the art I'm bringing. For portfolio reviews and shopping around and stuff.
My desktop was broken for several weeks (life was busy, and I didn't know enough about hardware to fix it myself.. had to get some new parts and have them installed), so I spent the time mostly working on comic stuff instead. It was good and productive. I still have a long way to go with the story development, but I'm optimistic about it. I've got a few pages drawn and about ready to ink (yay!), but nothing to show you guys just yet. And I think I want to get more of a buffer than "a few pages" before I reveal it online anyway.
I also did more illustrations for Leading Edge.. I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out; I'll post them once the issue comes off the press. It was good practice for what I'm doing now, but let me tell you, perspective really kicks my trash. I definitely need to work on that. Ugh. It kills me to know that I need to spend *as much* time, if not more, on the background as I do on the figures.
But speaking of perspective... what do you work out first, composition-wise - the figures where you want them in the frame, or the perspective grid? Probably the figures, yeah?
ALSO, I'm just getting started as an artist on Portrait Adoption, where you can browse a library of art and purchase a single-edition print to use for your very own RPG (or whatever) portrait, at reasonable prices and with no pressure. It's a neat program, check it out! I'll let you know when I've got stuff up.

The Thesis Life!
Hey guys! Another long stretch of no updates... I'm busy working on stuff! Right now I'm crazy working on my MFA thesis project, which is on novel- to graphic novel adaptations. It's pretty much my life right now. I'll probably post some of it when it's in a more finished stage.
Anyway, if you're interested in keeping up with my projects, I post sketches and whatnot fairly frequently on my Instagram(and from there to Twitter/Tumblr/Facebook). See you there!
Awesome
WOW! Have I been neglecting you! Sorry about that, folks. But guess what! I'm at the Savannah College of Art & Design, doing grad studies in Sequential Art (=comics), and it's awesome. Freaking awesome. I'm meeting awesome people and learning awesome stuff, and I've been keeping it all to myself. My first few months here, I've mostly spent discovering things and learning and practicing, finding out things I do wrong and how other people do it right.. I'm getting to the point where I have more confidence in myself and my ability to fix or circumvent these problems, and as I move from discovery-mode into production-mode, I'll be getting more ac
Blessings in Disguise
My company had a wave of layoffs last month, and I was one of the people let go. Emotionally and psychologically, it's been pretty rough, I'll admit. But in trying to stay positive and reassess my goals, I've been spending the last couple of weeks revamping my portfolio and working on my comic.
As a result, "Muse" is now live (muse-comic.com), and you'll be seeing more of me here!
Brandon Sanderson auction, ending 4/16
Like Brandon Sanderson? Want to get your name written into his next Way of Kings book?
Brandon's doing an auction here on eBay, with two days left.
All proceeds go to Life, the Universe, and Everything - a science fiction symposium (focused on writing, art, and everything including the sun) hosted at Brigham Young University each February. I've been a member of the symposium committee for the last three or four years, and I attended it several years as a student, too. I owe to the Symposium most of my knowledge of the publishing industry and the writing craft, my creative goals, and a whole slough of books autographed by my favorite authors
