Get My Work On Your iPhone/iPod Touch!!!!

Since I've recently gotten an iPhone (no small thanks to my friend Hina), I've been going nuts with playing with it and getting applications for it. I then remembered that earlier this year, the good folks at IDW Publishing had released all four issues of Ghostbusters: The Other Side as iPhone/iPod touch apps! The series was written by the mighty Keith Champagne with art by myself (with ink assists from Drew Geraci & Jon Alderink), and colors by Moose Baumann:

You can click here and scroll down to "G" to get all four issues on your device--each for only 99 cents! Back when I had a crappy phone, I might have mentioned this once on a past blog...but quite frankly I didn't care all that much because I didn't quite understand what all the "app" hype was all about. Now having experienced the power of the iPhone, I really think this is genius! And I can show my work to people on the spot if they inquire about it! What an inexpensive way to get your Ghostbusters comics on the go!


Super Capers

Back in February, I also inked a promo comic for the movie Super Capers by RG Entertainment. It was pencilled by MAD magazine artist extraordinaire Tom Richmond, and it was a whole lot of (stressed out) fun to do. The folks at RG Ent. have also put out a Super Capers application for your i-device, and let me tell you, folks--the features and interactive capabilities that is jam-packed in this application is amazing. It absolutely blows the Ghostbusters apps out of the water in terms of really engaging the viewer in a fun way with sound effects and even some minor animation. The Super Capers app even comes with a trailer for the movie. I highly recommend it.

Since I am a fairly lazy blogger/typer, you can click here, where Mr. Richmond tells you more about the project and application itself, along with more screen caps and a link on where to get the app.

And here is an unbelievable camel toe, practically nude! :

A Before and After...

Sorry for the lack of updates as work is killing me (once again). Today I have a few things:

Green Lantern #38 double page spread before and after inks:



Pencilled by the mighty Pat Gleason and inks by me. You see a red circle there because I wanted to check in with Pat to get a clear idea of what he's going for. A little communication never hurts. Also, Pat asked that I add a silhouetted debris around the white orb on the right side.


Playmate's New Boobs

Playmate of the Year 2007 Sara Jean Underwood apparently got a boob augmentation (when none was needed). This is my caricature of it:

Happy 4th of July Blog

A lot of artists on their blogs have done their own little drawing of Michael Jackson in tribute to the entertainer's death. So yeah I'm a little late on the bandwagon...whatcha gonna do? Anyway, I've seen some really great ones. So great, in fact, that I'm not even going to try to compete with them and do something too involved. Instead, I chose a much simpler and quicker way to do my part. In this exercise, I wanted to capture MJ's likeness in the simplest way that I could, with as few lines as I could. It's really a great way to hone your skills at capturing people in caricature: if you can get a likeness with as few lines as possible, that means that you have successfully picked the correct fewest features to play up. Here is my attempt:



Note that there is even an absence of the hair and facial contour--I've relied strictly on his striking internal features. Not that Michael is that hard to do in the first place. This took about 40 seconds to lay it down the rough, then I spent another few minutes refining the lines and cleaning it up.


Emo Kid Is My Bank Teller


There's this young dude at my bank who I often get as the teller when I'm standing in line there. He's been around a couple years, but in the time I've seen him, he went from a normal looking guy to an Emo kid. And I"m NOT a big fan of Emos. It's strange to see a guy in a suit with swoopie dyed black hair and black fingernails handling my money.



Camel Toe

Ah, Maria Sharapova cannot escape the toe.
