"THIRTEEN STEPS" PINUP

Finished coloring a pinup for my friend Kevin's comic THIRTEEN STEPS. It's a werewolf comic with some nice twists to it regarding a sort of Alcoholics Anonymous for monsters. Kevin Mellon handles the art like the champ he is, and the writing chores are tag-teamed by Phil Hester and Chuck Satterlee. I've met Chuck at a comic convention, and he's a tremendously friendly guy, but I've yet to meet Phil, though he's been one of my favorite comic artists since he was toiling away at books like THE WRETCH.

Anyway, check out the book, if you can -- it's published by DESPERADO PUBLISHING. The piece follows my standard modus operandi: pen & ink colored in photoshop. The book is printed in black and white with grayscale shading, so I did a grayscale version, though I wanted a full-color piece just for fun!

BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN: "Gearhead" Pinups!

I'm back in the swing of things (sort of), so here's my first offering in my new home... final colored versions of the two pinups I did for Kevin Mellon and Dennis Hopeless' GEARHEAD comic. Hopefully these will make it into the collected edition. Gotta go sleepy-sleep for now... I'm sick, and I've been up late trying to get these finished. More later.

GEARHEAD PINUP #1 PENCILS

I mentioned last post about meeting two cool guys at Heroes Con, Dennis Hopeless and Kevin Mellon. They write and pencil (respectively) a great comic called GEARHEAD from Arcana, and were impressed enough with my work to invite me to do a pinup to be featured in the upcoming trade paperback collection of GEARHEAD. I did two, so here's the pencils for the first one (second will follow soon). Inked and colored version to come soon. Check out the GEARHEAD comic, if you haven't already. Also, be on the lookout for another book penciled by Mellon (written by Chuck Satterlee and Phil Hester) called 13 STEPS from Desperado Publishing. Scheduled to release in August, and looks fantastic!
