SCHOOLS OUT!

So school is out, and so ends the Spring semester run of The Independent Florida Alligator! But threat not! Allie, Herrinson and Skunkman return for the summer semesters in a two-day-a-week comic strip series posted in the newspaper!

Until then, enjoy this EXCLUSIVE, FULL-COLOR strip guest starring the amazingly, awesome Japanese punk band, Peelander-Z! I got a chance to catch their show at Double-Downs in downtown Gainesville last weekend! They have a great interactive show and at the end of it all, I scored a free comic book from them! They signed it andI just couldn't help but giving my own tribute to the coolest action hero band ever!

Check out their music! It's sweet!

Lost Souls of Savannah (revised cover)

Below is an image of the revised Lost Souls of Savannah cover. The original cover design (seen on the Amazon listing for the book) I did in sort of a rush for the publisher. It depicted a more Hoodoo-themed illustration, but my editor at Pineapple Press had requested something a bit more Savannah related. This is what I came up with, and I have to say, I think she was right to have me go back and do it again. I like this one much better.

In this wrap cover (not yet colored) we see Victor seranading the ghosts of Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah, Georgia. In particular, little Gracie Watson. Gracie Watson is one of the staple ghost stories in Savannah. She's also the first ghost story I would tell my tourists back in my ghost tour guiding days. While the story itself is a sad, but sweet one, the actual statue at her grave is rather creepy.

I'll post the color one soon!

Taekwon Tales!

Back in August, I was hired on to work on Esmeralda Kim's first book in her Taekwon Tale series. The series focuses on entertaining and educating children on the martial arts as well as cooperation, self confidence and all the other good wholesome stuff you want your kids to read about. The artwork isn't bad either. ;-)

They'll have their own website up and running soon, until then, go ahead and check it out on Amazon. Just click here!
