The Cat's Out of the Bag. I'm working with Dave Finch on Batman: The Dark Knight #4

So the news broke today earlier than I was expecting.  This is something that I'm very excited about but can't really say much about.  I don't know what DC wants me to say and not to say, so I won't say anything.  I'm going to be doing pencils for Dave's Batman: The Dark Knight #4 and it's really a dream come true.  Dave has been my mentor for the last few years as well as a great friend.  It's an honor for me to tackle this book and I'm looking forward to everyone seeing it when its done.  I really want to make Dave proud with this one.  More to come in the future!

Hello everyone.  I'm posting this to let everyone know I am not going to available for commissions from now until the fall.  With recent additions to my busy schedule I am not going to be able to get to any for a long, long time.  You'll understand when some more news is brought to light.  Anyone who was expecting commission work in April, I am sorry.  If you can find me at Wondercon, Motor-City Comicon, or San Diego Comicon, I will be doing sketches there.

Teen Titans: Cold Case - My first DC Cover

This was my first DC cover and I thought I'd talk a little bit on how I got the gig and the process I went through to create it.  Right after I did the Animal Man story in Untold Tales of Blackest Night (Around October) I was offered the chance to do my first DC cover.  It was described to me as "Captain Cold standing by the frozen bodies of the Teen Titans, specifically Cyborg, Tim Drake Robin, Ravager and Wondergirl."  

There were a few different layouts that I went through to get at this one.  I really liked the one of Captain Cold standing tough with the Teen Titans frozen in ice, but in the end it was decided that my third layout was the one to go for.  They also wanted Deathstroke in the background in some way.  I thought it would be cool to have his face hidden in the snow.

Ryan Winn inked the line art and it turned out great (sorry I don't have the inked file).  Ryan is such a great inker.  I met him through Dave Finch and was lucky enough to have Ryan ink my work on Untold Tales of Blackest Night.  With Soulfire, the work is going from straight pencils to colors.  Mark Roslan is doing some great digital inks of my work, but I know myself and how I draw and I need an inker.  Im not a clean line artist like Gary Frank or those guys.  Im interested in seeing how the soulfire pages turn out.  Im looking forward to working with Ryan again in the future.  

Also, did I mention the interior art was done by Sean Murphy?  The guy is amazing!  Check out Joe the Barbarian and be amazed!
