more of "welcome home"........

so more pages coming off the hot burning printing press of an art table. These are really becoming all i could hope for. They are aged like a fine cheese...since i penciled them months ago (seriously, they are well overdue)...it's taken me a long time to go from start to finish, but all the stuff im learning in between seems to be rearing it's pretty face....who doesn't love that devilish grin of success???

and in other news....i feel a storm a brewing, with some amazing fireworks of inks and art on the horizon. I cant say too much about it, but when it happens you bet i'll let you know what to look out for ;) The world has strange ways of connecting people at various times in ones life. Let's just say that chevy nova's can be the chrome links in a chain of some neat cyber friendships of fainting sheep.

barbara gordon

man...the killing joke was no joke....retro batgirl rocks!

travels...

so my next venture that i have cooking up is a team-up with a really awesome guy, oddly enough, that i met on myspace years ago. he's a writer and a damn good one at that. he's going to be big. I rarely meet people that have a creative personality type like my own, but i think this dude does....and i think you'll be hearing a lot from him in the near future as well. he's creative, he's funny as fuck, and most importantly, he's driven and prolific. if you'd like a taste, or if your a fellow writer, check out his blog: www.toddmichaelrogers.blogspot.com but take heed, i'd already got dibs on a few things he's a writin'.

and check out a taste of what's to come:

damn, i suck!

yes, haven't updated this in a long time. it's been too long. so let me just post this. 09 is going to have shit happen. i know that because im hiring myself to do a book. please keep watching, im updating this puppy regularly, and if i dont there will be hell to pay!

PS: eric canete just inspired my brains. that man is unreal!

SDCC

hey folks,
while i dont officially have a table at SDCC this year, i probably will be chillin' and taking a break from the sea of people at table 18 in artists alley. Howard Chaykin was nice enough to share it, so stop on by and say hi....and if i'm not there, Chaykin will be....and he's not only a swell fella, but a guest of honor this year too.

it tastes just like spam!

another much neglected post trying to bring some life right back into this blog. I don't seem to get very many readers, so i guess that's okay, but I wish those goddamn spammers wouldn't get my hopes up by making their spamicious comments trying to get me to buy German cameras and cd things...I see 'oh i got a comment! sweet' then check and it's a spam comment. just lame.

so here's something not so lame. a OKAMI piece I did for a DA contest to win a Wii. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out and me and Photoshop had a nice romp through a smiley, poppy-laced field with this one, so it was all a pleasant experience. (and no, that's not drug reference there, I just mean I actually managed to use Photoshop on this and not want to shoot my computer up with ACME elephant bullets when I was finished...

the white violin

wacka-wacka-prisma!

here's the colored version....i knew if i tried doing this in PS, i'd just get pissed....so it's better this way

VANYA inked

wow, see? i can be producive if i put my mind to it...and also if i have a cup of expresso around 3 in the afternoon XD

hmmmmm...tastes like chicken!

denny's is fun

so me and my BF went to go see the coldwar kids on friday down at my favorite concert place, the wiltern. we left early, thinking there'd be accidents galore from stressed out housewifes who spent too much on black friday and crashed their mercedes while trying to think up a good story to tell their hubbies when the credit card bills came...but surprisingly....in this here town of los angeles, traffic was normal!

so we had hours to kill once we got down there, got some coffee, made some paper airplanes out of magazine card inserts...and i decided i wanted to kill time by going to CVS, buying some notepads and snacking at denny's drawing comic scribbles...

here are said scribbles.

the concert rocked. i love that band, and i got a cool shirt with a whale on it and stuff written in latin. could it get any better?

one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish

because today i am a lazyass...

sorry, no new art...well, maybe if i get a sketch done tonite i'll post. i gotz to draw domino for a swell fella...but yup, i didn't do jack shit today. it was cold outside, miserable...and everyone and thier related kin were out shopping and blocking th isles of target and big 5.

i did however post 4 new, never before seen pages on my DA account, so that can be counted as a semi-worthy post of art i suppose...go check it out: www.weshoyot.deviantart.com

there, i did SOMETHING....

(oh yah, and ARCHAIC 11 comes out wednesday. you should buy it!)

ARCHAIC 11

ISSUE 11 OF ARCHAIC comes out in a few weeks. thanks so much for everyone who has picked up issue 10, i really really appreciate it. issue 11 is really my favorite out of the three issue arc I've done for ARCHAIC, so i really hope you will all make sure your local comic shop has pre-ordered it.

ARCHAIC 10 in stores!!!

im writing this late oct. 9, to inform you that ARCHAIC #10 (my first issue all penciled and inked) comes out tomorrow. i thought it was supposed to be out on Oct. 31....but i was wrong. so i guess that's good news....or bad, because i wanted to go pick up some 'desolation jones' trades, and i cant show my face in the comic store for a few weeks for fear of feeling like a giraffe amongst a gabble of geese.....

oh well....maybe i'll go see 'across the universe' again....or watch my new set of 'avante guarde' cinema.

hellllllllooooooooooooo...does anyone read this stuff i wonder...

i'm floating in space and wondering if anyone actually reads this stufff. hmmmm...it's like that cut scene in final fantasy 8 with squall and rinoa floating in space...that errieeeeeeeeeeee silence......hmmmmmm...well...today i colored some thangs with markers....it's like i drew my own coloring book! yahoo!

Now that's a fucking first, eh?

two posts in one day? well hot damn! TEASER!

snowwhite commision

so yah...after much though...well...not really a ton of it...i guess as a kid, i never related to 'snow white'. I thought about this after posting tis on my devaint art account about an hour or so ago. funny stuff it is.

i had this commision, to do whatever...so i started drawing my own character, that i'm going to start working more on. Well yes. there's some good ole' fashioned murder and whatnot in the story, so i was 'yah, this is going to be like a kick ass murderous piece all crime noire and like'. yah well, didn't turn out that way. somehow it turned into a snow white looking chic....guess it's the hood and that bloody heart in her hand...somewhere inbetween the inking and coloring it turned out that way. it looks like snow-white took some action into her own hands, so-to-speak, and killed the woodsman and took his heart. i guess that's the gist of what it turned out to look like.

snow white's too damn sweet anyways....thought i'd give her some edge...cinderella had to go through hell to get her prince charming...i used to like cinderella when i was a kid....same with the little mermaid....also, my favorite disney movie. snow white, well....she just was nice and stuff. shit happpened to her. she ate a bad apple. not too dramatic. fell asleep. the glass coffin was sorta neat...but a lil too clean. there was some movie a few years back with sigourney weaver as the evil queen which was pretty good.

yah, so im rambling...was going to make this insightful, but well, you just got a whole blog of ramblin's! better than nothing though, eh?

*edit: sorry about the lack of drawing i was rambling about...for some reason blogspot wasn't loading after i posted so i couldn't get an image up. but it's all fixed now: so back to the show*

rumour sketch numero duo

yes yes...still have a fun cold that makes it impossible to gain sweetsweet oxygen from my nasal cavity....so i tried too draw yesterday and this was the half-way decent outcome...notice i say half way....ugh!
