Figured I’d post about a few things that are going on. (if anyone cares that is.)

First is a story that I drew which is up on this month’s Zuda comics competition. (DC Comics online comics competition)
here’s the link: (http://www.zudacomics.com/node/1539)

See what you think. It’s the first time I’ve worked with someone else as ‘just’ the artist. working in the zuda format was kina interesting too.
I did all the art and the lettering back in July or so, so looking at it again, there’s things I wish I did differently, but oh well.

If you like it, vote for it. if not, don’t. I hate that whole ‘vote for me please’ crap. but… i’d prefer not to end up dead last. haha, 9th place I could live with .

Second is that I did 99 sketch cards for the newly released Spider-man Archives set. I had a ton of fun drawing these. I never get commissioned to draw Spiderman or any of his bad guys, so it was a nice change of pace!
In fact, I had so much fun that I’m doing a few more sets. It seems the sketch cards fit my short attention span. I get to paint, but the cards are pretty small, so I don’t have to spend a few days on just one painting . (Of course trying to paint so small on a trading card is a whole other issue ).
Here’s a quick sample of some of the cards I did for the set.

I’ve also got a few other things cooking that I’ll post about when I can. for now enjoy the cards, and go check out the zuda comic and let me know what you think of it.
