My piece this year is inspired by the Memorial Digital first series Imaginary Fiends that I just wrapped up in January. It is currently being collected into a print release which will be in your LCS soon.

Holy Wow it has been too long!
Many things have kept me busy these past months. First and foremost I was finishing issues 4-6 of Memorial, (aka. The best new comic book known to man, lady, or talking cat), if you haven’t seen them now you know why you’ve been having that empty feeling in your chest. Have no fear! If you missed even a little bit of the initial run, I have it on good authority there is going to be a super sweet hardcover out in the near future to sate your appetites. Until then you can enjoy this preview of the peice I did for the SDCC CBLDF art auction. Sadly I will not be making it down to “THE BIG SHOW” this year, but I wanted to do my part for the CBLDF. If you are going to make it to the show , you can find out more about the auction times HERE.
Speaking of shows, I just got back from my first Heroes Con. I had a wonderful weekend in Charlotte despite being really under the weather. Everyone was very friendly and the show had a very southern/laid-back energy that I really enjoyed. Once you combine all that with have access to a BOJANGLES IN THE CONVENTION HALL, I will definitely be returning. I did a number of commissions at the show I was happy with, but I had one small mix up.
This Thor vs the Hulk commission was done for a very nice serviceman that I was foolish enough not to get the name of before he left to enjoy the show on Saturday. He had intended to swing back by before the end of the day, but we never reconnected. So… If you commissioned this piece from me, just shoot me an email and we will work out the logistics of getting it to you.
I’ll be back with more for you guys soon!

Hey Everyone!
I took some time to do a Hero Initiative Cover for issue 600 of Fantastic Four. I thought I would share it with all of you. I also wanted to remind all of you to go out to your Local comic book shop and pick up Issue 3 of Memorial! Unless an epic battle between an army of living shadows fighting a bunch of blind kung fu monk librarians isn’t your thing… In which case you should totally avoid it… just sayin’.
I’ll see you all the next time I do something awesome. So hopefully soon:)
Howdy Howdy Everybody,
Loads of work has been keeping me away from you for far too long, but I have managed to break away to share a preview of my piece in this years edition of Monsters and Dames. I also wanted to let you all know that as of today you can go to your local comicbook shop and pick up Issue #2 of Memorial ( The super great new comic that Chris Roberson and I are doing with IDW ).
Go and buy it.
Otherwise you won’t understand how awesome this illustration is at all.
Em Might be in a little trouble….
The original art for this illustration has the honor of being the first Memorial original art for sale. I have donated it to the charity art auction that takes place at ECCC!
Hello all,
I’m back:) My long absence can be easily explained simply by the good news that I have been busy working on a NEW ONGOING SERIES FOR IDW over the past couple months! I am lucky enough to be working with the wonderfully talented and amazing Chris Roberson on the new Series Memorial. The first issue will be shipping in December, but you can see a 11 page preview here (with beautiful colors courtesy of the lovely Grace Allison.), and printed in the back of most any IDW book printed in October! I have been having a seriously fun time drawing this book and I can’t wait for you all to get a gander at it.
The new series has been keeping me quite busy, but it’s time I stopped shirking my personal responsibility and take steps to keep my adoring public satiated with visual content. To that end I present to you a cute drawing of Colossus and kitty.
More to follow … Scouts honor:)
Hello Friends,
I would first like to assure you that my absence from the blog has only been due to excessive work on increasingly wonderful projects. That being said, this week we are blessed with the release of Thor, and I couldn’t let that pass without subject. Also Periscope’s Tumblr theme this week is Thor. So… Here is a whole bunch of art I have done recently to get you pumped up for the movie.
FIRST UP!
NOT THOR!! VALKYRIE!!!
THOR&VALKYRIE with special guest NOVA
THOR VS EVERYONE!
THOR VS FROST GIANT!
Check ya later fools:)

Hey Everyone,
In the time between my last post and now I have been busy moving into a new studio apartment of my very own, finishing a commercial project, and attending the wonderful Emerald City Comic Con. I apologize for the deep depression my absence from the internet must have caused all of you. I will try to be better in future.
Now that we have that out of the way….THOR!!!!! This is a sample page I did in an effort to snag a issue of Marvel Super-heroes. The editor ended up going with someone else, but I was still pretty happy with the page. I inked the page and gave it to my good friend and talented artist Ben Dewey as a thank you for allowing me the use of his spare room while I was between apts. I hope you all like it too.
Well hello again internet people,
This weeks Periscope tumblr is Madmen! I was late to the party getting into this show, but I recently had the pleasure of receiving the first season for Christmas and fell in love with it. I had a whole host of ideas for what I could draw, but in the end I chose to give the people what they want… a pretty lady.
 This one’s for you Meconis 
-See you all later with something a bit more Manly
Hey Everybody,
I’m gonna be at Emerald City Comicon in March and I’m happy to say that I have a piece in this years Convention Book. Like the subject says the theme for the illustration is Monsters and dames, so I chose to put a japanese spin on it. The monsters are Japanese Demons called Oni and the Ninja girl is…cool.
Monster want pretty lady!
-Check ya later
