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.

If you can't make it to Comic Con (I know, it's already a sellout show), we have reserved a bunch of books for online sales (which we will set up soon afterwards), so check back soon for that info.
