Motor City Comic Con 2009

Being that I'm "in between" a few projects right now I didn't really have anything printed or completed to show this year. However, I did have a good time. I met some cool people, got some work done, and I even managed to sketch a few things just for fun:

Trying to slicken-up my Sig:

Here's me being geeky:

Comics Obscura #1

Comics Obscura #1 (2006)

I did the cover for the first issue of Comics Obscura, an anthology comic book back in 2006, along with a couple of pages for "Chapter One: The Bank" of a comic named "Bipolar" at the time.

Buy Comics Obscura #1 Issue!

Whatever Happened To Kid Cannon?

Here are all 15 pages for a story I drew back in 2007, called "What Ever Happened To Kid Cannon?" (written by Scott Richmond & published by Young American Comics)

I was given the script by Scott and commissioned by Young American Comics to draw this short story in only around a month 1/2 until deadline, I think it turned out great.

Buy Wild Penny #7 Issue!

The story was about this ex-super hero who outgrew his powers and settles as a high school teacher. We see him on his toughest battle yet... his first date.

In this issue: "Adam, formerly known as teen superhero Kid Cannon goes on an awkwardly pleasant (or is it pleasantly awkward?) first date. (Richmond, McCain)." - Young American Comics

Rebel Status: George W. Bush

Presidents are elected to serve the American people, former President Bush kinda did that I guess... that one time... you know... remember... when he... look a bird! Okay! He totally sucked eggs as president, but he was a rebel nonetheless. He didn't serve the people, he only looked out for numero uno, brushing off all the responsibility of the whole "president thang". W. did what he wanted when he wanted with no care for laws & junk.

I'm sure conversations in the oval office went a little something to this effect: "Sir, shouldn't we be looking for Osama Bin Laden?" "Nah, there's a Ranger's game on right now, hehe, now leave me alone, oooh pretzels..."
