My buddy Josh Burggraf surprised me by adding colors to my 2010 comic called “Miizzzard in ATTACK”:
Josh has another gift for the Internet, a fun five-page full-colored comic called “Space Date”.
I hope that y’all all have happy and chill holidaze. This blog will be back in 2013.
I’ve got some paintings and drawings in Surreal Landscapes, a show curated by my friend Cari Palazzolo. There’s a bunch of other awesome Austin artists in it also. There’s a reception this upcoming Thursday. Here’s the flyer:
Flyer by Cari.
The flyer samples this watercolor I finished recently, “Landscape with Reptoid Skull”:
9 x 12″ watercolor.
I’ve also been working on a large acrylic painting:
30 x 48″ sketch and first color for “Petrified Forest Spirits Dancing Beneath the Crescent Nightmare World”.
You can see more process and preview shots in posts tagged “Surreal Landscapes” on my Tumblr.
Thanks to everyone who came by the Vortex #3 book release at Domy Books this past Wednesday, I had a good time!
When Vortex #2 came out, I had a joint release party / reading with Melinda Tracy Boyce (she was putting out The Melinderly #1). We projected panels from our comics and performed them to an audience. I thought it was fun, but since then, I’ve been to signings here in Austin where the cartoonists just set up a table and personalized books for everyone who came up. I like interacting with people individually more so I thought I’d give it a shot (I also didn’t have enough new, non-Vortex comics to fill another reading). I dug it but I might switch things up again next time.
Domy Books Austin is having a release party for Vortex #3 tomorrow night from 7 to 9pm.
I’ll do drawings in whatever Cardini books you bring or buy!
This Saturday is the opening for the Paper Party Print Show. I have a print in it alongside some other awesome artists. Here’s the flyer:
There’ll also be art openings at the other stores in Domy Books Austin.
Here’s an image of my digital print:
I’ve got several things to tell y’all about:
