This project continues to excite me as more and more art gets created. The latest piece that is anywhere near completion is this one…

I tried some new techniques on this piece, and I have to admit it’s been very challenging. Although it’s incomplete, I did throw both current pieces with color through the printer to see how the color and composition were coming out. Here’s the result…

They look fantastic! Even the freckles I played with on this character can be seen in print. Yes, I was worried about that. Sometimes details that are obvious in digital get lost in print, so I’m thrilled and will continue working on that for this character.

Lastly, I’m stepping up the game for you in this book! I want to introduce more advanced composition work on these pages. I will experiment with some supplemental art that supports stories on text pages, particularly in the spreads. For example, you might see something like this I’ve been noodling on…

We will see how it goes, and you know I’ll keep you posted!

Events and Writers Panels

I’m continuing to exhibit with the latest being Dallas Fan Expo. It was a great show!

I had an opportunity to participate in an author panel alongside some incredible talent. Here’s my view from the stage…

Slowly but surely, we are raising awareness, and it’s having an impact. Just got to keep grinding away! LOL!! We are off to San Antonio from July 7-9th. If you’re local, we’d love to say hi. We have some new graphics and will be promoting the upcoming book!
