DANCON Spring 2014 Poster

Hi all,

One of the first comic shows I will be attending at the start of 2014 is DAN CON in Orland Park, IL. The is put together by Decapitated Dan and his lovely wife, the Phoenix personified Amy Royer.

Dan asked me to put together the show's poster and with a little Photoshop effects assist from Dan, here's what we came up with. If you are a comic artist looking to book shows for your 2014 schedule, I suggest you click on the poster and register to be part of this great show!

Scratch9: Cat Tails #1

Last year I met ROB WORLEY, creator of Scratch 9. He was gracious enough to support my #sharemyHEART campaign and he asked me if I would like to be part of the new Scratch 9 book. I immediately jumped at the chance because I had so much fun drawing his characters as part of his reward tier for donating.

This Wednesday, Cat Tails issue 1 comes out featuring four pages of art by yours truly, written by Rob, with amazing colors by JOSHUA BUCHANAN. The issue also features art by MIKE ROLL, SHANNON ERIC DENTON, CAANAN GRALL, and JASON T. KRUSE. Get to your local comic shop today!

Here's a look at the cover by Josh along with some concepts I did for Bektah, the mummy cat:
