sketchbook funtime
I’ve been knee deep in historical research- whether it be for the Tubman book or the Lighting Roy Sullivan story I’ve been creating and sometimes that backs up the mind into a creative corner that explodes onto the sketchbook page as this silly gentleman.
Lightning Roy Cleveland Sullivan Preview
As I’ve had to spend most of my time either a) drawing storyboards or b)writing manuscripts, so my itch to draw “new” comics is driving me bonkers. So I’ve decided since I haven’t the time to write/draw three graphic novels at once(I’m writing two- well one manuscript is finished and at the publishers- made it […]
John Brown revisited
A couple of years ago I started a comic series based on the life of the pre-American Civil War Abolitionist John Brown. I finished the first chapter and put it together as a comic book so I could see if anyone was interested in publishing it. Well, I had a very good response from everyone […]
American Bob in French Sci-fi
This is my homage to great Moebius. I had drawn the original my sketchbook and it’s gone through many subtle versions before it arrived at it’s current state.
The work of David Mazzucchelli
Tonight I attended a discussion/talk of with comic creator David Mazzucchelli at MoCCA conducted by by Dan Nadel of Picturebox. It’s no secret to anyone that I’m a huge fan of Mazzucchelli’s work from his early superhero stuff to his most recent book, the incredible- jaw-dropping Asterios Polyp (I cannot recommend strongly enough getting this […]
ASIAN AMERICAN COMICON
I’ll be attending- though not exhibiting this Saturday at the ASIAN AMERICAN COMICON. I’ll be there with my pals and long time Rabid Rabbit collaborators Anuj Shrestha and S.Y.Choi. This is the first “asian” comic fest at least in NYC so I’m curious to say the least- I wonder if my Korean half is more […]

Dr. Monnin has done some exceptional work on the methods and practical curriculum of reading […]
JUNE almost over- good riddance to crappy rainy June
Yes, it was crappy June. it rained nearly every stinking day here in New York. It’s sad that a month that normally is the best part of New York summer was so… soaked. Now it seems we’re being thrown into a hot, humid, and stinky July without a nice June. Damn you Global warming. Spaceman! […]
SketchBook Mania
My sketchbook is a literal mess. I’m always envious when I see another person’s sketchbook and it’s a pristine collection of drawing fit to be housed at the Met. But then again, I’d miss the random styles and explorations that plague and sprout up in my sketchbooks. I guess if you were to dig up […]
work work work
Been exceptionally busy as of late- but wanted to drop a quick post. I’ve been doing storyboards and comps at the JWT, an Advertising agency with mondo-clientele as Microsoft and Johnson and Johnson(not said too impress you, just to put in scope how fricking ridiculously huge these guys are). The work is light on thought […]
