2012-02-07T04:54:00.000-08:00

not too much drawing last year.far too little.i'm starting to get back into it.no more cd covers to design,no more lyrics to write,no more expanding cult city from 3 issues to 4.
here's a little doodle i made.more to follow.

ABORTED!

2011-11-18T04:39:00.000-08:00

my first attempt at CULT CITY 2.i'll be starting from scratch,due to pacing issues.some of these panels may be recycled.

in other news:

2011-10-21T02:01:00.000-07:00

after being non-active for a few months i've decided to restart CULT CITY 2 from scratch.i've decided i can do better.as soon as i have the contents of my old computer at my disposal i'll be posting the now-discarded pages right here.

THE RETURN OF ME.

2011-10-21T01:58:00.000-07:00

who else?
the contents of my computer can be saved!i don't know about the machine itself...meanwhile i'm working on a shiny,new laptop.sadly,my scanner isn't compatible with this laptop,which means i have to do my scanning at the printshop.also,i'm appearing at the local con again,FACTS 2011,and that's why i made the following drawings,to be sold as prints.

catastrophe!

2011-08-20T12:08:00.000-07:00

my computer broke down a while ago!everything's in there.my script for cult city 2,my finished pages,the works!i can't work on new pages,i can't even print out my submission to dark horse comics!
Bugger,as they say...let's hope it can all be extracted,or whatever it is they do.

PINS!

2011-06-18T04:15:00.000-07:00

Some designs for pins to be made as a CULT CITY promotional item.

plugging along.

update.

2011-05-17T04:16:00.000-07:00

I've drawn the page in the previous post again,from scratch.It's better.It also means it took more than a week to do page 4.This isn't going real fast...

NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

2011-05-14T12:00:00.000-07:00

This is what happens if you fiddle around too long.I never really felt this page but I kept layering on the white-out and kept tweeking it 'till I decided to scrap the whole thing.I'll do a second version of the same layout,but good.

WHEN YOU STILL SUCK.

2011-05-14T04:02:00.000-07:00

This is just about the worst page from LUCHA LIBRE.I thought I was pretty skilled back then,and so did my friends.Shows what they know.And me.These days I'm much more brutal in judging my own work.If I showed this page to some Pro he or she'd have a good chuckle!Maybe I still suck now,but a whole lot less than then.

FROM THE VAULT 2.

2011-05-14T03:56:00.000-07:00

A panel from LUCHA LIBRE.I still like it.

2011-05-09T03:23:00.000-07:00

the cover to my first attempt at a full length comicbook.this must've been around 1999.something like that.it featured the three protagonists of my work-in-progress ADVENTURES IN CULT CITY 2.maybe i'll post some of the real bad pages...

Technological Advancement.

2011-05-06T11:39:00.000-07:00

You can now see my work grouped together,according to it's respective nature.Sounds heavy.Just click the pages beneath the header.Almost like a real website!
Oh,and you can now be notified of new posts by email.Just scroll down on the sidebar.

well,it happened.i made my debut as a comicbook artist.i had a great time at the FACTS 2010 convention in Ghent,Belgium.it's a great feeling holding that first copy of your own work,and then signing it for people at a con.i even signed one for mr. Greg Capullo.my book gave him a chuckle when he leafed through it,and he thought it looked solid.friendly guy,too.
anyway,thanks to the people who visited me,and i'm fired up for the future.as Chesney Hawkes(!) once sang:"they can't take that away from me!"

cheers.

ADVENTURES IN CULT CITY is almost a year late!but since i am making my professional Convention debut at F.A.C.T.S. 2010 in Ghent, it has to be out by october.so it's fall 2010 instead of 2009.that's not too bad,i guess...i'll be trying to handpaint the cover next.hopefully it won't take too long!
