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.

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.

R.I.P.

so sad to hear about michael turner..

with love, from soviet mars

once, twice, three times a lady....

so im learning photoshop here....inbetween 2 jobs, commissions and three side projects...and a manic fabric addiction...

first: traditional stuff


and then i try to color it in PS2...i cant tell you how i got this, as im not quite sure myself...some sort of happy accident involving quick masks and layer styles...



and then me being obsessive and going back into something.....i don't know which i like better or if either is finished...

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...

some marvel goodness

these two were commissions for two separate folks, one of David Mack's/ Daredevil's "ECHO" and the other is X-Men's "ROGUE".....cool stuff and worthy of getting my blog here back to life a bit. that damn deviantart site has made me neglect this puppy.....

WWLA this saturday!

hey anyone going???? i'll be walking around and signing at booth #2410 in artists alley.

i'll take nice smiley pics, with the cool dudes from ARCHAIC



and dukin' it out if anyone gives me any crap ( cower in fear from my she-muscles!) LOL



see you all this saturday!

february 20th

No art today...although im working on a few things. just wanted to let everyone (if anyone) who reads this know that something rather neat comes out on comic book store shelves on feb. 20th...7 days from now. I suggest you pick it up, and flip through to the back. It's something I'm rather proud of....i'll let you know more in a few days...

What you gonna do about it? What you gonna do about it?
All the stars I was reachin' for you had in the palm of your hand
& if for just once I would let the
padlock on the door be open
Well, dammit, just get on over here
This better be the best thing I ever felt
My days, they better be sunny
It better be nothing but all that I want

I'm the raddest queen of them all
I could have anyone, so what I want?
Perfect, get it right, never wrong
So you gonna step it up? Or you gonna be gone
Not like the rest (not this), nothing is typical (ain't nothing is typical)
This is not a test (no test), this is a for sure (it's all gotta be for sure)

Well, I'd train him like a marine corps
Boot, camp, make him like a superhero (yes ma'am)
That always better be his response
Or I don't give a dog a bone
Attention! Show me your skeletons, let's not play games
We can be closer than sharing last names (gimme my award)
The award is a purple heart, it could be yours
If you earn that medal, yeah you could be my boy

Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh


If I'm really your baby then share with me your secrets & all

because I'm just a girl....

Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
Im exposed
And its no big surprise
Dont you think I know
Exactly where I stand
This world is forcing me
To hold your hand

cause Im just a girl, oh little ol me
Well dont let me out of your sight
Oh Im just a girl, all pretty and petite
So dont let me have any rights
Oh... Ive had it up to here!

The moment that I step outside
So many reasons
For me to run and hide
I cant do the little things I hold so dear
cause its all those little things
That I fear

cause Im just a girl,
Id rather not be
cause they wont let me drive
Late at night
Oh Im just a girl,
Guess Im some kind of freak
cause they all sit and stare
With their eyes
Oh Im just a girl,
Take a good look at me
Just your typical prototype
Oh... Ive had it up to here!

Oh... am I making myself clear?
Im just a girl
Im just a girl in the world...
Thats all that youll let me be!

Oh Im just a girl, living in captivity
Your rule of thumb
Makes me worry some
Woh Im just a girl, whats my destiny?
What Ive succumbed to
Is making me numb
Oh Im just a girl, my apologies
What Ive become is so burdensome
Oh Im just a girl, lucky me
Twiddle-dum theres no comparison

Oh... Ive had it up to!
Oh... Ive had it up to!!
Oh oh oh oh oh ... Ive had it up to here.

really....

"a rumour you say...?"



"yes..."

"you just wait!"

"...til issue #6...you'll see...you'll see...."

now how's that for fucking cryptic, eh??? yes, I've got sumtin' up my sleeve...

the WHITE violin IN TECHNICOLOR!

"such a tease"

yessireeeeeeee....i've been told that on occasion....... and because the middle panel on this page is still unfinished, i give you the top half of the page. voila!hahah

NUMERO 50

WOW!...im at 50 posts! yahoo! well...this lil post is part of another HELLBOY boy...more to come, the goodness in full view. ARCHAIC 12 is in shops this week. I actually went in and bought a copy and was kinda stoked they decided to use my marker colors....I thought that idea was trashed...I really love the way markers look...

I was also talked into buying a rather sweet umbrella academy shirt from one of the nice employees of my local comic shop. It's a fucking rad-ass shirt! But it's a lil' big, and rather boxy, so I'm going to take my sewing skills into action and chop this baby up and recreate it.

Perhaps that will be another blog. Teach them boys who make these comic shirts that us gals like to look like, well, errrmm...uh like GALS when we wear the shirts...Some of the only comic based shirts I've come around that were actually for girls were 'Emily the Strange', this cool pin-up dude from comic con, and Mr. David Mack from 'Kabuki'...Mack: always thinking of ways to make the ladies look sexy while sporting kabuki shirts....he's either one smart cookie, or one of his girl-pals suggested it...either way, he's got the best girl cut shirts out there...

So yes...this is a major problem to any and all comic related T-shirt making folks out there. We ladies like comic book shirts. We'll sport the hell out of them. Just make them fit! Same goes with hoodies....boy did i want a spiderman hoodie...or batman...but out of all the towers and piles of shirts and sweatshirts at comic con could I find one remotely my size?? FUCK NO! I ended up trying to fit into kids sizes, which didn't work either because I have unusually long ass arms....Maybe I should just start making them myself....hmmm...

crappy drawing redemtion

okay, since i really just didn't like that last post i posted here....i mean really didn't like it, like fricken hated the way i colored it and drew it for what it's worth......i had to redeem myself, keep myself from feeling like crap. so here's a page of hellboy for the taking....much better than the last post. i feel somewhat redeemed...my art meter is moving away from 'craptastic' to middle ground 'good' again...phew!
