This is a caricature I painted of Neville Page, one of the contemporary Masters of Creature Design. If you've seen, Avatar, Star Trek, Cloverfield, or Watchmen (among many others) then you've seen his stuff. Check out his work at http://www.nevillepage.com/. We met briefly at Comicon. Since then, I've been following his work like I bought Stock in it.

"You failed!" yelled a man dressed in the rags. "You failed. The village is destroyed and everyone is dead!"

"I didn't come to save your village," said Kahliam, "I came to kill a dragon."

"They were torn from their homes, hunted and gathered in for condemnation. As their eyes searched their minds, they could only wait for the Seraphim. Somewhere beyond the walls of their reproach the brothers searched for their deliverance."

Had a few days to work on a piece I've been wanting to do.

I've been pretty wrapped up in a project (loving every minute of it!). So I thought I would post a painting I did more than a year ago. I hope you enjoy it. For those of you that know him, Yes, that is the legendary Cornelius Cole (Corny) that modeled for Abraham.

"Gathering Stones For An Altar"

This is a painting I did in oils (5'x4')

Jorge Garcia, Jess, and I at San Diego Comic Con

Just Got back from Comicon! Jorge Garcia and Beth Shady were cool enough to come by the booth and give me a signed picture! One of the highlights of my week! I also got to meet some of the artists that inspire me the most, "Cheeks" Sean Galloway, Francisco Herrera, Ronnie Del Carmen, Chris Sanders, Ryan Benjamin, Jose Lopez, Ragnar, Patrick Morgan, Daniel and Dawna Davis, Chad Hardin and many more. Went to the last LOST Panel. It was a BLAST! More Later.

Here's a little taste of Naveen Andrews for ya.

By the way, just wanted to mention I'll be selling my caricatures of the "LOST" cast at the comic0n. So keep an eye out for them. Here's another taste.

DONE!

BENTO BOX! When Good Sushi Goes Bad!

Pulled an all nighter to wrap up my new book "Bento Box"! It is off to the printer. Above is the final cover. After several fully rendered versions and a lot of wrong directions I finally found a piece that worked for me. For those of you that liked the sci fi girl, she's inside. For those of you that didn't (AJ and Ron) you can glue that page closed. The project had to be scaled down a bit from it's original inception. But I'm still pretty happy with it. It's kind of a tasty sampling of my work (professional and personal) from the last year. Okay there's some old stuff in there too. It is a forty-page, bite size meal that will leave you asking for dessert. (I mean because it tastes so good, that you can't get enough, not because it left you unsatisfied. Maybe I should come up with a better metaphor.) I'll be selling it at Comicon in the 8fish booth E5. So be sure to stop by and visit, Me along with Ian Johnston, AJ Bell, Ernie Harker and, of course, my booth babe, Jess. By the way we're going to be drawing caricatures at the con as well. That'll be fun to do some live drawing again. Can't wait to see you there. Meanwhile practice saying: 私はbento箱を有してもいいか。

Later.
