Next Project!

Journal Entry: Wed Apr 9, 2008, 12:01 AM
I've been drawing GI Joe now for about a year and a half and it's just about done for me! It's been my only professional art job so far.

Now I'm slated to work on the latest series of Voltron. I just started reading the series to get more knowledge of what I'll be dealing with and I'm pretty darn excited for it.

After hundreds of pages of drawing butt-chinned men with guns shooting at each other, getting to draw giant robots in space and monsters w/ a slight anime flare is a welcome delight. AND since I love variety, it's great to know that it's only 5 issues. Sooooo with that in mind, I really get the chance to try some new things and see how it works for a few issues.

Jean-Francois Beaulieu will be joining me as well. I'm really excited to see what happens.



Also, if anyone is interested in buying GI Joe art, check this out... it's not totally up to date, but if you want to buy any pages not listed, just contact me.

I'm surprised you haven't burnt out either! You're doing great too.

Things are going well with the comics work. I'm doing a little freelancing on the side, and been workin' on some paintings.

Good to know you're doing good.
