Here's a cartoony zombie I drew at the NYC comic con while waiting to do a signing.

Here's a final version of one of the Feast series. I posted a pencil version earlier in the blog and finally had a chance to do this in ink and watercolor.

Good ol fashioned painting is what we have here folks! Enjoy!

BLACK CHERRY BOMBSHELLS

I was just in NYC for a week and met up with the writers of BLACK CHERRY BOMBSHELLS.

Two strips a week check Mondays and Wednesdays for new strips. Post Apocalyptic Vegas with zombies and girl gangs.....you can't get much better than that!

The War to End all Wars

I have an obsession with World War I. I think it's because for the first time it was the war that was globally felt and countries as faraway as French Indochine and French African nations Middle Eastern countries, etc. all involved as well as drafted to fight in Europe. As well as ALL of Europe pretty much and then the US getting involved near the end.

It was also the war that first used chemical weapons and machine style guns and tanks.

Also, the first war to draft non-professional millitary or career military. Such as young boys and men not that well trained. This was the end of chivalry and an all out brutal trench warfare. It was to be the war that ended all wars and cleansed the world to start a new again. Innocence was lost. You can see the changes in people in all art forms following the war. The effect on children and women especially and the poor young men who fought and came back with bad habits or trauma in any form.

The horrors are unimaginable and imagery so strong. To say it simple WAR scares the hell out of me. But, this war imparticular I have some sort of connection with, maybe I was in it?

Here are some drawings and sketches I did while researching books and images of the Great War. (I started a 10 page comic of my own, I'm sure you saw the first penciled page and colored page on here if you scroll down.) Children with gas masks, a police man with a sign that read WE ARE WATCHING YOU (which has nothing to do with the war but more to do with a big brother style painting I had in mind) and a man sculpting a artificial limb for an amputee.

I will have more sketches and images of this "obsession" soon.
