Island Tales!

Island Tales is a comic anthology based on folklore and mythology from the Pacific. Some stories are adapted from traditional stories while others are modern retellings of the classics.

Created by our great friend Stephen Smirl. He's a genius and one of the nicest guys in the universe!

This first story I'm illustrating for them is based on the old poem "The Battle Between Two Chiefs" and the legendary Chief Gadao.

VIDEO: Me Unpacking Moving Truck - Stop-motion Timelapse

My wife and I recently moved from Salina, Kansas to Cape Elizabeth, Maine. This truck unloading was a lot harder than it looks in this video! :o)

THIS is why I'm moving to Maine!

To be your Maine Man!

On Another Journey...

Hi, all! (if you're still visiting my blog with so few updates lately)-

I'm leaving once again for the West Coast. Oregon, San Diego, Disneyland (first time!), back to Oregon, then back home to Kansas. Going with Renae to take her son back for a visit with his family. Then, of course, we're hitting the San Diego Comic-Con!! That's going to be a blast. But, the most exciting thing is a trip to Disneyland. Like most people, particularly creators, I grew up on Disney cartoons. And being a poor kid half a country away from anything remotely Disney-oriented, I always dreamed of visiting. So, thanks to Renae, I'm on my way!

All-in-all, the trip will be 6,000 miles and take about a month. It's going to be crazy, but lots of fun.

I haven't been blogging much because I've been trying to get my mounds of work done before I leave. Got quite a bit done, but it looks like I'll be working my butt off on the road, too. Yeesh...

I'm working on some cool new projects that I want to go in depth about. Marvel: Complete Avengers sketch cards is definitely the one I'm most excited about. I'm also coloring some books, lettering some, illustrating a graphic novel, and inking, coloring, and lettering a Dark Horse-hopeful mini-series.

So, I'm busy, but enjoying the heck out of life.

Oh, speaking of which, I turned 24 on June 28th. Forgot to mention that. This is, indeed, the best year ever for me. Can't wait to see where the rest of them are going. ;o)

I'll try to update more and post more art while on the road (after I get some of that work done... yikes ...)

Thanks for stopping by!
