SCAD Comics Art Forum Oct 22-24

Thu Oct 22, 2009, 6:10 AM
Hey all, well its been quite a while since I updated. Mostly due to a heavy work load and not feeling like I had anything profound to share I guess.

But as it turns out this week, I will be at the Savannah College of Art and Design for their Comics Art Forum! Any chance I get to come back to Savannah is a complete blast. Its always a nolstagic experience for me. I just got in yesterday and we have a panel discussion tonight with the other visiting artists. Then tomorrow and Sat. I will be doing a presentation for the students and portfolio reviews in the afternoon.

Over all it should be a fun weekend, and hopefully I can still be productive with work in my down time. If you're a student or an alumni and you have the chance, you should swing down and participate!

As for work, I've been busy with the penciling duties on my next run of GI Joe 13-17. And I've had the chance to do covers for each of the books. Thats been an interesting step in my career. Getting to do covers on a regular basis is alot of fun, obviously, but also quite challenging. But all together by the end of this month I'll have penciled and inked 20 covers for GI JOE in a little over a year.

  • Listening to: audio books
  • Reading: Starman Omnibus #1
  • Watching: Watcmen..hey get it?
  • Playing: "superheroes" with my son. Action figure
  • Eating: less junk food, and feeling better for it
  • Drinking: Less Dew, more water. I know ...blasphemy

Devious Info

  • Current Residence: Springfield IL
  • Interests: Comics, cool movies, Soccer, my family
  • Favourite band or musician: Whats on the Radio
  • Favourite artist: It changes, right now I like Terry Dodson and Yanick Paquette
  • Favourite poet or writer: Robert Kirkman, Mark Waid, Kurt Busiek
  • MP3 player of choice: Sansa
