  Without a computer I’m reduced to this. I can’t write two upside down..

  Speaking of Simon Roy, here’s a sneak-peek of an 8 page story that he and I have coming out at some point later in 2012. The story is called “The Head Hunters” and will be appearing in an anthology called “The Hunt”. Details as they’re available.
  
  I’m co-editing this anthology with Paul Maybury, and it’s going to be amaaazing.
- Jan 14, 12
  
  Here’s my final cover for the Dogs of Mars trade which SHOULD be out in May. I finally figured out the final page count will be 120. ALMOST DONE!

  There is a post on the website about Paul Maybury’s art that is now for sale in the store and his commission prices.

  Thanks for all of the Tubmblr love, everybody.
  
  Hey, all of the art mentioned before is up on the store. Please take a look! My computer seems to be at death’s door, so any purchases would be greatly appreciated.

  I’ll have some new art from Paul Maybury up in the OOSA store soon. I’ll make the announcement on my Twitter and Facebook page when they go on sale, so be sure you are following me.

  Pinup for the upcoming Butcher Baker trade by Mike Huddleston and Joe Casey. I really appreciate that Mike not only draws the hell out of that book but supplies some of the best modern comic coloring around.

  When Brian Wood put out his online sketchbook i thought about doing one as well. I have no interest in doing a physical sketchbook, so here is the first of probably 4 collecting disposed drawings from the last ten years.

  Pencil progress for a Butcher Baker pinup. Hello 2012.

  Snuck one last comic in before the end of the year.

  One panel comic.

  Was writing all day and I felt the need to draw something.
- Dec 26, 11
  
  This is me.
- Dec 26, 11
  
  I’m reposting this because more of you should have liked this. In fact, It’s my favorite thing I did all year.
  
  Come on people.
  
  I’m not 100% sure, but I think I gave the original to either Kody Chamberlain or Rob Guillory. I went through a phase of giving my favorite pieces away to friends. It just seemed like good karma.
- Dec 23, 11
  
  Miles McDuck makes it hard to draw some days.
- Dec 20, 11
  
  It’s eggnog time, y’all.
- Dec 20, 11
  
  As I was working on the collected Dogs of Mars book design, the writers asked me to draw one additional page that apparently went missing between script revisions. When I’m at the end of a book, every line on the final page hurts. Here’s 67B, the hardest page to draw. I learned a million things on this book, and it contains art I love and hate in it. I can’t wait for people to check it out this Spring!
  
  Thanks to the writers, Johnny and Tony, as well as Gabe our letterer.
  
  Also, thank you to the people who interned for me on this book. I hope you learned SOMETHING from me.
