New Year's! Now
I'm going to step back to my roots on this piece that I found while cleaning
out an old art file. Obviously the Star Wars experience has been a part
of my life since I was 5 years old and finding this piece just brings
back some great childhood memories. And
hopefully you see a little bit of improvement in my work since the crayon
Boba Fett in this Henry Jones Sr. piece. Hmm... still this might be a
fun piece to color with crayons. I
thought I would finish up with a few photos. The first 2 are of Jason
and Grant from Sci-Fi Channel's hit show Ghosthunters as they were giving
a presentation at Greensboro College. When I found out they were coming
to Greensboro I dragged my wife to go see them and we ended up sitting
on the second row. I have to admit when I first saw this show I was like
"Huh!?!", but now I've become a fan of their quest to document
the paranormal. Basically, they are invited to investigate various places
that are reported to be haunted using some very cool cameras and equipment.
What I really like about their approach is that they are more trying to
debunk than prove the existence of the paranormal. They end up catching
some really wild material. BTW, Jason would have a field day with the
"orbs" in the photo with him. Finally, a picture of me with the Kung-Fu Panda character that was taken in New York. I was at a small party that Jack Black was hosting to help promote the Dreamworks film that comes out later on this year. What I saw looks like it will be a hit! 9.23.07-Baltimore
8.3.07-FREELANCE I'm back... back to freelancing. I'm sure most of you knew I was working for Hanesbrands as the Graphics Manager for the Marvel License, but things change. I was 1 out of the unfortunate 350 people they laid off last month. I wasn't really upset that I lost my job, because I know the freelance work will start coming in and I'm a firm believer that things happen for a reason. What frustrated me was having finally worked out a lot of the kinks in the business to where I had a smooth process that made the product look awesome. Best wishes for the 349 other people. On an upbeat note, I just returned from the amazing and overwhelming San Diego Comic Con. Every comic book fan should go at least once in their lives. My traveling buddy Randy Green and I roomed with our pals Andy Owens, Patrick Blaine and Dave Chapman. We walked that show for 5 days (I consider Preview night the new 5th day) and still didn't see everything and everyone we wanted to. I also got to attend the very cool Lucasfilm Star Wars 30th anniversary party (thanks, Andy!). I met a lot of great people. One of those was the artist Pierre Alary whose work graces the French albums Belladone. His incredible work on those albums inspired me to render my version of the sword-swinging damsel. I also met Chris Sanders and picked up his new Sketchbook 2. And finally, I've posted the Chapter 3 lead in page for Amber Atoms and continue to work on that project. Hopefully, more news on that soon.
