T-minus 54 pages and counting...
WOOHOO!!! With any luck, I'll finish the blues these next couple weeks while back in my old Arizona stomping grounds... cuz nothin' helps a visit with family fly by faster than hiding in the guest room and drawing your ass off.

Totally. Friggin'. Awesome.
When all's said and done, VIETNAMERICA will be the longest comic I've worked on. Until then, that record is held by this:
Not only did this gem run 4.5 issues, look at the turnaround time! Each full throttle, color, action packed, emotionally layered, 22 page installment only took about one month to complete!
I hit my prime at age 10 and it's been downhill ever since.

Next stop: MoCCA!
With NYCC in the can, I'm holing up in the apartment to plow through VIETNAMERICA's pencils. Trying to be extra productive since I've got the place to myself for a bit while the wife's away "working hard" at her "job". [Shakes fist towards sky; curses gods.]
Here're more morning email cartoons (their crappy origin explained here) to appease anyone visiting this blog hoping for actual illustrations from me. For now, this is the closest thing I got to "finished" art. To be remedied soonish...

Only 217 more pages to go!
It has begun:
That page stack is about 1/3 of the book's blue pencils. The project I've been dreaming of for the last several years finally takes its' first steps to being fully illustrated.
And for everyone within commute of NYC this weekend, don't forget: NYCC!

Start your engines...
That first show of the year is always something special. Having not exhibited since last summer's SDCC, I'm especially anxious to get my fix after going cold turkey for six months.
Not only am I back in NYCC's Artist Alley next month, I'll be armed with the left hook of Jamie Tanner and right jab of Fred Chao. That's right: THREE cartoonists for the price of one! C'mon by and let our comics pulverize you into an unrecognizable shape.

F-O-R-E-V-E-R.
It's strange to see your art on another person's body... especially when it's the person you wake up to every morning.

Happy holidaze, everyone!
We will return to our regularly scheduled programming in the new year... until then, I'll defer to a friend's accomplishment: To commemorate our soon-to-be 44th president, Charly LaGreca has created this labor of love for all you Obama fans:
Apparently being a full time illustrator, performer and writer of musicals, and podcast host interviewing comic luminaries like Alan Moore and Jeff Smith doesn't keep him busy enough.

P'shop plug-in flattening Holy Grail:
If you're an illustrator and understand the first three words of that title, then you MUST download this. Coloring VIETNAMERICA's 300 pages just got a whole lot faster.

I'm not a Morning person.
I begin my work day with email. Often images come easier than actual sentences which result in these spontaneous, lightning fast doodles. Horribly drawn and of questionable taste, they kick-start my day with a laugh (my low standards a testament to how groggy I am in the morning). A week of October high/lowlights:
