This is my entry for Santa Cruz Skateboards draw the next screaming hand contest.  I really like that they did this as a snail mail only format for entries, and took out a full page ad in Thrasher that you could rip out, draw on, and mail in.  I was compelled to enter out of reverence to the great Jim Phillips, original artist of the Screaming Hand;  a true innovator and unparralleled draftsman.  If you don't know, look him up and get you're mind blown.  People (including myself) having been ripping off his ideas for decades.  Pure genius....

A.G.E. is the story of an alternate 1970's where a Soviet attack has left the majority of America a devastated waste land. New York City, along with most former coastal regions, are now mostly underwater.  Visit the site and subscribe to regular multi-media rich updates, chapter by chapter, from  author Will Thaxton.  As new characters are introduced,  new drawings of them by yours truly will be added to the cast bio page.

Holy Smokes! Kicking off year 5 in a whirlwind! First off, Galvanized Monstrocities, a collaborative art show featuring Matt Deans, Bizhan Khodabandeh, and myself, opens April 9th 2010 at Blackhand Coffee.  Come on out and enjoy some overly rendered madness!

Next up,  Disturbia Clothing's new line includes two of my designs.  Available here.

And finally, the all new Born Ugly site is up and wasting bandwidth, along with a new batch of drawings added to the Barf Comics Flickr page.  Now go check it all out!

I have a few pages in the new Marvel Heartbreakers #1, on shelves today!

cover by Mike del Mundo, and features Tabitha Smith, one of the main characters from the story that Rick Spears and I worked on together.  We'll both be hanging out at Velocity Comics Friday evening, alongside Jim Rugg at his book signing for the amazing, new release of  Afrodisiac.  Go to your local comic book retailer and ask them to carry both of these books, and if you don't know where your local comic shop is, find it here.
