Jim Mooney

Thanks to one of my blog readers for pointing out that the Supergirl pose I swiped was from this Jim Mooney pic! Great stuff.

Supergirl and The Doom Patrol

A couple more recent pieces I did, the first was a gift for my new comics pal Sterling Gates, who also happens to be the current writer of DC's monthly Supergirl title. The pose itself was swiped from an awsome bronze-aged pic, but I can't figure out who the original artist was?

Anyways the other is just a fun piece I did as I read The Doom Patrol Archives Vol. 1 this week.

Recent Commissions

Here is a recent commission I did for an attendee at this past weekend's Windy City Comicon. I had a great time at the show, and got to hang out with Jeffrey Brown, which is always a pleasure.

Updates, Bits and Pieces...

1. I will be appearing at the Windy City Comic Con this Saturday, October 25 in Chicago.
Anyone in the area should come check it out. The Convention is being run and sponsored by the Around Comics, 11 O'Clock Comics and Word Balloon crews. The guest list is great and includes my good buddy and fellow Top Shelfer Jeffrey Brown. I am also now accepting pre-orders for sketches and commissions for the show. Just email me with any questions.

2. My first Vertigo work, a 144-page OGN entitled The Nobody, is in the can! I finished up artwork on the book last week, and have sent it off to my editors Bob Schreck and Brandon Montclair at DC. It feels great to be done another book, and now I'm starting on my next two projects, one a new graphic novel for Top Shelf, tentatively scheduled for 2010, and another BIG project which is still TOP SECRET!

3. I've also been busy with a couple of short pieces. One is for a yet to be announced anthology from Dark Horse Comics. The second is a 10-page western written by Joshua Hale Fialkov and illustrated by me, which will be a part of next year's follow up to Image Comic' Outlaw Territory anthology.

4. Last night I did an hour long interview with the COMIC BOOK GEEK SPEAK podcast, which will be online tomorrow (Tuesday Oct 21). We talk about the entire Essex County Trilogy as well as my upcoming Vertigo work.

5. And, finally here is the second installment of the BIO-GRAPHICAL strip I have been doing for DRIVEN magazine, which is a bi-monthly insert in Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper. Enjoy!

Baltimore Comicon This Weekend!

I will be signing at the Top Shelf booth at the Baltimore Comicon this weekend along with Matt Kindt, Christian Slade and Alex Robinson.

Matt, Christian and I are also nominated for Harvey Awards.

Hope to see you there!

Bio-Graphical #1

I've been comissioned to do six 1-page, full-color comics for DRIVEN MAGAZINE. The magazine comes out bi-monthly as an insert in Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper.

The strips, called Bio-Graphical will be found on the last page of each of the next six issues.
My editor is the great Gary Butler, who also writes the "Blood in Four Colors" column for Rue Morgue Magazine.

Here is the first strip which came out in the September issue, the the next is due out in October.

The Nobody-Sneak Peek

Here are a few new preview pages from my upcoming Vertigo GN "The Nobody"

I'm currently about 105 pages into the 140-page book, which will be published as a two-color harcover GN next summer.
