Well once again I suck at updating this. It has been crazy around here. I have been trying to get work done, going to just under a million doctors appointments, and trying not to go insane. It has been weird not working on a title. I have been working on a title for years, and now nothing. Due to my illness I had to take a break from full issues. The up side of this is I can now try to get caught up on all of my commissions. I may be returning to work soon though, and I can't wait to tell you guys about that!. In the mean time, check out the new pics I put up. Among those is the piece I did for the WOlverine 100 project. I had so much fun working on this. If you guys Do not know about the Hero Initiative, please look them up. They have helped me out in so many ways, I could never begin to repay them. So please look them up.
cheers

Hey guys,
I just wanted to let everyone know that Dave Kopecki My art Rep over at Shadowdance Entertainment Original Art & Collectibles, along with the help of my good friend Jay Fotos, is putting together another benefit auction to help with my medical finance needs. Jay put together the auction that was held at emerald city comicon last year. The participation in that auction was amazing! it seemed like everyone n the comicbook industry donated something to help out in that auction, and the results were amazing.
Well I hope none of you ever have to know this, but dealing with cancer is soooo exspensive, and can be a huge burden. Thankfully I have friends such as Jay and Dave, who would go out of their way to help a friend in any way possible. I am also lucky to work in an industry that is very close, and cares about their own.
Well like I said above, Jay and Dave are putting together another auction to help me out. They are gathering pieces from people all over the industry to auction off. I was told that there will also be another original Frank Frazetta piece auctioned off as well. To get the full scoop please follow the link. I want to say thanks to Dave and Jay and to everyone who helped out in the last auction. This means more to me than you guys could imagine!

FCBD

2 min read
Well another FCBD is in the books. I signed yesterday at SC collectibles, and I had a blast. I ended up arriving late because my son's Little League game went into extra innings. Not just one extra inning but three! I am proud to say that my son's team ended up winning so that started the day off great, but put me way behind schedule. I then had to drive (Well ride I am not aloud to drive anymore due to my being sick)  about 2 hours to get to the store. I got there way late, and had a pretty nice crowd waiting on me when I got there. i want to say thanks to al of those who waited patiently for me to arrive. When I got there my sketch list started filing up. I got to meet some pretty cool people. I got to talk with some younger artist who were very interested in  learning as much as they could about the industry, and it felt pretty good to be able to pass along some useful info. Boy did it make me feel old though :) at the end of the day I end up with 27 names on the sketch list. I actually took some pics of some of the sketches i did( i always forget to do this) i want to say thanks to Paul for getting this all set up, and taking care of me while i was there. He hooked me up with a FCBD hat! I had a blast.

Cripes!
it has been forever since I hopped on here and did an update or posted up something new. It is insane how time slips by when you are busy. First I want to say thanks to Ryan Ottley for sending people my way. I had a blast working with Ryan way back when, before he went on to bigger and better things. I have been a huge fan of his work since we worked together on RUnes of Ragnan, and it has been great to see his work get the praise it deserves. I also wish I could answer each message personally, but I simply do not have the time at the moment. Next time I won't get so far behind, and I'll be able to take the time to respond to each message I get.
Well things have been... um .. pretty shitty. More bad news from the doctors. It just seems the bad news never ends. At my last appointment i was told that there is nothing else they can do for me. They have tried several different chemo treatments, with out any luck. My doc said that he wants to give radiation another try, but he wasn't sure if I was able to receive anymore, due to the fact I took such a large dose the first time around. Radiation sucks, but if it is what I have to do I guess I'll let them juice me. I guess all I can do is keep on keeping on.
I am going to upload some recent work. I have been working on Image/ Frazetta comics "Sorcerer". I haven't got a chance to show any of it so i figured I'd post some up. The art I am posted up is a One of the covers, and a few pages from the book. I am handling the penciling chores on the book. t is being inked by Andrew Mangum. The images I am posting up were inked by me however. Andrew is doing an amazing job. I inked these images due to the fact they needed to be inked up by a certain date so we could make the deadline for an ad that was being placed in previews. There was a problem with shipping the pages and this whole....... ungh.... anyway I inked these up, but Andrew is rocking on the rest of the book.

This leads me into a question I want to ask you guys. Ever since I started drawing comics, i have run into issue with some inkers i have worked with. i would spend hours on a page, busting my arse to make it look as good as possible. The I would send it to the inker, anxious to see it when it was finished. I would then go out and pick up an issue of the book, only to see that my pencils were butchered.  Now I think I have this complex where I have to pencil the shit out of a page before I can send it off. i mean I pencils line weights, ins and outs, and everything. This is really causing me to take a lot ore time on a page than I used to. I used to knock out around 3 pages a day. Now I am struggling to get one done. Have you guys ever run into this? Not just us pencilers, but Have you inkers run into this with a colorist maybe? Now the million dollar question, How do I get out of this funk? I trust my current inker completely, but I still find myself spending way to much time on a page.
any way Thanks for checking out this journal entry. I have seen a ton of great art on here, and i wish I could comment on it all. Keep drawing!
