Cthulu Print at MoCCA Fest 2010

It pays to clean my room every now and then. I came across an illustration I did last year and completely forgot about it.

Now this print of the Lovecraftian elder god, Cthulu, will be available at the upcoming MoCCA Arts Fest.

King Con Brooklyn: Over and Out

King Con has come and gone. I had a great time with fellow creators and comic fans. Thanks to all who bought our comics and prints and/or stopped by our booth. (Also, be warned that you're only encouraging my habit of making up wacky stuff and drawing them.)

Important note: King Con was Keith McCleary and I's last time exhibiting together. Needless to say I was a bit sad about it. But he's moving on to bigger and better things and I wish him nothing but the best.

I took a decent amount of pictures, which I'll put up soon.

Now it's back to my studio (aka. my kitchen table).

New Prints for King Con, Brooklyn

These are new prints that'll be available at this weekend's King Con, Brooklyn's first major comic con. The misunderestimated Little Death.

Little Death faces an evil Cupid. When love is involved, it can't be anything good.

Cupid's packing heat and looking for some action.

Next Stop: Big Apple Comic Con

It's been a crazy time for me.

Right now, I'm getting ready for this weekend's Big Apple Comic Con. Working on a five-page action/horror comic that I plan to show around.

I'll post those seq pages asap.

As soon as Big Apple is done, I'm going to get ready for King Con, Brooklyn's first comic con. I'll be exhibiting with my pardner in four-color crime Keith McCleary.

I'm slowly emailing all the great people I met at SPX. So, if you haven't gotten an email from me, then either email me or wait for my email.

Lastly, I have more SPX 2009 pictures to put up, which include Neil Swaab, Cheese Hasselberger, Ayo, and many other amazing cartoonists. I'll get to those soon.

SPX 2009 Pictures Pt. 2

I took this picture really damn early in the morning. How early, you may ask. Too damn early because...




... hardly anyone else is set up. But the excitement of another SPX kept us chugging along.




Across from us, Mike Lariccia of One Time Press selling his fine illustrated wares.




Peter J. Lazarski and Mike of Imaginary Monsters set up their booth right beside ours.




All this hub bub is just the exhibitors. We haven't opened to the public yet.




I approve of our spread.




The youngest SPX attendee: 6 weeks old. Take that.





Ron was gracious enough to buy a couple of my comics and asked for a sketch. It took me a little while because I hadn't drawn Jock in some time. Looking at it again, I want to fix it up...




Anthony being eaten by Cthulu.



Pete and Mike of Imaginary Monsters drawing some ill creatures.



More pictures to come...

SPX 2009

Spent the day recovering from this year's Small Press Expo. Keith and I had a blast.

Thanks again to everyone who came by our table, chatted with us and/or bought our comics. And thanks to the awesome SPX volunteers and staff.

Here's the first part of the pictures.

Look for the Green Critter at SPX, Table F15

So many goodies!

First, my comic "Zed and Itty: Beach Bum Bash" is in the House of 12's latest anthology Touching Children's Stories, which will debut at the Small Press Expo and be available at finer comic shops near you. If you can't wait order the anthology here.

This upcoming weekend, follow the green guy to table F15 at the Small Press Expo.

At our booth I'll have copies of the expressionistic nightmare Buenas Noches, the whimsical mini Wish and my irreverent anthology Saucy #1. (Read a review of Buenas Noches and Saucy #1).

I'll also have full-color prints, including these two:

Keith McCleary will have copies of his "multi-racial western" Killing Tree Quarterly, action thriller Deep Throat, and his latest animal-adventure comic Top of the Heap (with prints).

Swing by booth D16 and grab a copy of House of 12's all-new, all-ages anthology Touching Children's Stories, which has my latest comic "Zed and Itty: Beach Bum Bash." If you can't make it to SPX, you can order one at their website.

Couple of Cartoons

I've often felt like this guy...

How can anyone not like pirates? Huh?

Prints of these cartoons will be available at SPX.

Some Pics from the Brooklyn Book Festival 2009

This past Sunday, my girlfriend and I went to the Brooklyn Book Festival. The NY Comic Con folks had a booth and held panels by some top creators. (L to r: Danny Fingeroth, Scott Hanna, Denny O'Neil, Tom Raney, and Tom DeFalco.)

Here I am with living legend and my one-time professor Denny O'Neil at the fest.

House of 12: Touching Children's Stories

Here's the cover for House of 12's latest anthology, Touching Children's Stories. This collection will debut at this year's Small Press Expo in Bethesda, Maryland. Among the contributors are Miss Lasko-Gross, Evan Forsch, Cheese Hasselberger, Ayo Brathwaite, and me.

If you're in the DC area, stop by and grab a copy! And while you're there, stop by my booth and pick up a copy of Saucy #1. I'll be exhibiting with Keith McCleary (Killing Tree Quarterly, Top of the Heap) .





(Cover art by Miss Lasko-Gross and Kevin Colden.)

Batman Sketch

Wanting to take a break from the cartoony style of my children's comic Zed and Itty: Beach Bum Bash, I did this Batman sketch.

Saucy #1 and Buenas Noches Reviewed on Comic Critique.com

"“By George,” [is] a brilliant comic-of-the-absurd told in increasingly surreal nonsense-speak that will give a cathartic laugh to anyone whose life partially depends on paychecks from corporations."

Read the full Comic Critique dot Com review of Saucy #1 and Buenas Noches.

MoCCA Fest and then some

MoCCA Fest was great yet incredibly tiring. Took me a day to recover. Now that I'm rested and have pretty much caught up with emails, I'll be back with more stuff. Stay tuned.

My Site, MoCCA Fest 2009, and Saucy #1

Deadly Tree Pencils

Needing a little break from the humor comics I'm working on for MoCCA, I penciled this piece.

The idea came to me when I helped my girlfriend make a salad.
