Anyone who knows me knows that I have a special place in my heart for He-Man and his pals. The brightly colored 80's toys were a favorite of mine in childhood, and I've been collecting the new toys Mattel has been putting out for the last year. Here are a few new paintings inspired by these musclebound goofballs.

Little Big Shots - Sydney Opera House
My speaking engagement at the Sydney Opera House was a delight! The festival directors, Chloe Boulton and Nick Place, were more than gracious and really know how to orchestrate a top notch touring festival. The kids at the screening were treated to an excellent array of films from around the globe. Even though the age range was between 2 and 7, they would have eagerly stayed for more films in the program!
Early morning at the Opera House
The festival was held at "The Studio", one of the more intimate theatres within the Opera house
The crowds lines up - waiting to get in. It was a sold out show.

Back to the Brothers

The power of brotherhood is strong! Here is another Super Mario idea - this one showing how Mario and Luigi have each other's back. They are inseparable.

Cameron Frye

I always liked the conflict John Hughes portrayed between Cameron and his dad (even though only a car represents him, that's enough).

SUPER MARIO!

Just a big ol' Mario with his spunky brother. My favorite Mario game is still the original Mario Bros. arcade game, which my brother and I played the hell out of on the Atari 26oo.

Thanks!!!
I'd like to express a HUGE thanks to all those fans who picked up my work at SDCC this week (above is a sampling of those gracious enough to pose with my art). I'm humbled that you considered it worth hanging on your wall, placing on your bookshelf, or pinning to your bag. I really appreciate your support and compliments, and you really made the trip memorable. I had a great time talking with everyone, and the support for "Alien for Christmas" has been outstanding! I hope to see all of you next year!

San Diego Comic Con 2009
Hey everyone, the creation of new art has been pretty bleak for a bit, but the good news is the new art book is complete, and will go on sale tomorrow in San Diego! My second book, again a collaboration with the super talented Bob Rissetto.
The new book is called "Choke!", a collection of independent art from this year. 6x9, hardcover, 100 full color pages. So, why call it Choke? Well, we were gonna be all clever and call it "ART-i-Choke", but something about just the word choke seemed to sound just right. Also, drawing someone getting choked was a lot more fun than drawing a vegetable. It fits right alongside the first book, Inner Workings, which has now been reprinted and is available again after it's sellout last year. 
So look for booth F5, say hi, and check out AFC if you haven't seen it in one of the festivals this year. I'll also have a limited supply of high quality art prints for sale - so if you're looking for Hulk smashing a school bus full of kids, or maybe a Russian propaganda inspired Kermit image - you might be in luck!

The Big Robot series makes a return - with 4 more robots added to the series. You may have seen Red and Blue last year. This year, Yellow, Green, Orange, and Purple complete the set.

Chicago International Childrens Film Festival
I just returned from the last evening of the festival and it was an extremely fulfilling experience. The films from around the world were all unique in their own way. Seeing how this fest brought them all together, with the primary purpose to entertain and inspire kids, made it all the more exciting to be a part of. Being from Chicago, the film houses were not too far from my door, but most of the film making attendees came from across the globe.
Here I am at the Nov. 1st showing of my film at the Biograph theatre - answering questions from the crowd. The crew from the film "Elephants" (to the right of me) was in from London. It was a treat to hear audience responses to AFC first hand, laughing and reacting to the humor and tender moments (and getting the applause at the end of coarse). Thanks so much to everyone that said they enjoyed AFC. Hearing that it connects with kids and adults alike is so rewarding for me. The crew from Facets and all the members of the CICFF were extremely friendly and really had the shows well choreographed. Everything ran like a well oiled machine. Even the children, who were a huge part of the audience, were all well behaved and sat quietly in every showing I sat in on.
It was a delight to be a part of this festival. My wife and I already have the brain juice flowing with new film ideas thanks to the inspiring work we saw.
