Wow, new drawings. I bet you all started to think I went missing. Actually I was in New York on vacation. it was great to just get away, but it also feels good to get back and get back to the grind. First is just a few pics of these skull creatures that keep popping up on my pages.

This is a secret picture of a secret project I'm kind of doubting will ever happen. But hey, at least it was an excuse to draw a diver and tentacles.
Self portrait My in-laws dog, Snoop.

This is my Tooth-Fairy Munny. I had this guy painted and traded way before I ever saw Hellboy 2. Also, in my humble opinion. Don't see Hellboy 2.

This was drawn by Doug Meyer, then I inked/colored it at our booth.
Drawn in the hotel room, then inked/greyed at the table the next day.
Drawn at break at my day job.
A picture of Harley Quinn, for my friend and fellow artist Brian Lalleys birthday.
A painting I did on cardboard. I'm selling this for only 30 bucks. Just in case anyone is interested.

Well I survived Chicago Con 2008. It was a madhouse, but I still had a lot of fun. I was lucky to have 2 hotel rooms full of good friends and fellow comic creators to enjoy it with. Those cats are the best. I think we are shooting for Columbus in October. But I'll post more on that at a later time.

Just some sketches I did while having a coffee with Lindsay at Starbucks. The top three are drawn on a napkin. The fourth is on a cookie bag. The final sketch is some ideas for future Rustbot designs.

This is the first three pages of my new Rustbots comic. This will hopefully be finished in time for this years Chicago con. I'll be sharing a small press booth there, with Mike Maydak and Paul Jurczak. Along with this, I'll be selling my other books, custom toys, and whatever else I can pile on the table. Also I should have some issues of the Pickle Press book "Scared Ya", I helped work on. So if your at the con please stop by say "hi", and get a sketch.

I got a new sketchbook this weekend. I use my sketchbooks for just random things. Just trying to get the idea out of my head before it explodes.

Figure studies.

Sorry I'm not posting more. Trust me, life is way to busy right now!! Here is the OSO Gallery sign for the next gallery show at the end of this month. I have tons of news, so I'll be getting back here soon to tell everyone!!

Three new drawings from last Saturday night. I was around good friends having good times drawing some fun stuff.

Just some playing around.

Girl

Just a nude drawing from my sketchbook. The brown is from soy sauce.

The witch raised her grimy green tinted hand, and made one loud growling sentence.

"HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!"

Jacob Jolie stood in the small store named "Lost Wonders." His tall limber body stretched over to get a better look at the "small wonder" he just spotted. Inside an old yellowish jar bobbed a small shrunken head. Its eyes and lips sewn with some type of brown chord. Jacobs bottom jaw slowly dropped as he investigated the piece. Next to him an elderly woman stepped up
" Anything I can help you with" she asked with a wide smile.
" Is that, is that real" Jacob questioned pointing to the jar.
"Sure is"the woman said, now placing a worn wrinkled hand on the jars lid." I got this many years ago"
"Wow" Jacob said " It really is cool."
" Well thank ya, dear." the woman said. Suddenly, another customer raised her voice behind them. "Well looks like I'm needed. Let me know if you need any help, dear."
With that, she slowly walked to help price another item for a woman.
Jacobs blue eyes narrowed as the old woman walked away. He wanted the head, he needed the head. It was just so cool!! But he didn't have a dime to eat on, much less enough money to by this. Quickly, he shoved the jar inside his brown coat. Then he turned to the door. Suddenly, a sharp pain stinged his neck. Within a few steps, he felt his eyelids getting heavy. His breadth was harder, and all of a sudden all he wanted to do was sleep. Then, darkness.
A few days later, a young Justine Harper stepped into the shop named "Lost Wonders". She gazed through the books, toys and what nots. Finally , she came on two amazing sites. There was two twin jars standing next to each other. Both with shrunken heads. A little old woman stood next to them.
"Neat, hmmm dear." the woman said.
Uhh, yeah." Justine said, a little taken back" Are they old?"
"Well, one I've had for awhile." smiled the old woman" But the other one I just added to my collection."
With that she lifted the yellow container with Jacob Jolie's shrunken head bobbing inside.

The Alien General with a name unpronounceable to our human language stood facing out the U.F.O's large view scanner. The planet Earth was only a few minutes away. His people had visited many years ago, and decided that this was a planet ripe for destroying. The Earthlings were already doing such a fine job at it, that the aliens species should find world domination quite simple. Earthlings hated each other to the point of causing terrible acts to their own kind. For simply having a different color skin, or believing in a different deity. The Aliens found all this to be laughable, since they were a race united. Nothing ever minor could divide them like the human fools. Now they would show the strength of that unity.

Upon hitting Earths atmosphere they noticed an odd change from last time they visited this planet. Great shapes of smoke filled the deep blue sky, changing the color to an ash grey. The tall buildings that the humans resided in lay toppled or burning in mountains of flame. The Alien General spoke to his pilots to bring him closer to the land. Slowly he could make out the shapes of the humans, but now they were different. Their body's were decaying, but still they moved. Arms now raised to the alien crafts, as maggots fell from the human bites on their flesh. Their teeth biting into the putrid air, begging for nourishment. The humans, were now just walking dead. Finally the sins of their living existence had punished them. No longer did they care about color , or religion. Now they all only cared about the hunger. Finally they were united enough to fend of any and all attacks from the Aliens. Sadly it just took them all to be dead first.

Ummmmm, just a little more. Just a little more.
