“Midnight Garden” full version (square version on twitter)

Hi everyone! I’m gearing up for the release of Knife’s Edge, our 2nd graphic novel (written by Hope Larson and drawn by me), which will be in stores on the 27th of June!

This weekend, June 16-18th, in Charlotte, NC, I will be back at Heroescon to debut Knife’s Edge! Table AA-1111, which is the greatest table number I’ve ever had. I will have the first book, Compass South, in paperback, as well as a select amount of Knife’s Edge! Be the first to own it!

And as a special treat, Hope Larson will be tabling with me on Saturday, the 17th! We can sign books together and celebrate finally having both books printed. We’ve worked hard over the past 3 1/2 years to make these books, and I couldn’t be more proud.

I’ve been really behind on posting to tumblr, aah! I promise it’s because I’ve been working on some very cool secret stuff. This assignment was a nice break! 

Death Book Pop-Up Magazine, March 2nd, NYC

A recent project I worked on was this series of illustrations, animated and no, for a short nonfiction piece by Rachel Monroe for Pop Up Magazine. The story is about the author’s mother, who collects phrases from the obituary section of the newspaper in a little black notebook. It’s a therapeutic ritual.

New York Times Book Review - Ten Best Books of 2016

Here is the cover piece I did for the NYT Book Review, featuring their picks for the “10 Best Books of 2016″. The concept I went for was “here is a bounty of reading”, presented like a classic still-life. I was sent the book jackets to use as reference, but had to arrange the still life using my own books. I took a lot of ref photos and also painted directly from a set-up in my studio. It came together quite nicely! I also painted a bit of extra leaves and berries for the interior. 

The animation was its own challenge! I painstakingly drew each frame (using some of my own footage as ref), though I used the photoshop transform-tool to get the page text to look smooth(ish). 

I’m going to be at SPX!! I drew the badge art for exhibitors this year, and I’ll be on an all-ages comics panel on Saturday. My table is H5-A, find me!

I’ll have Compass South and the NEW, FINAL EDITION of Sky//Wings, my Poe Dameron fan zine, as well as plenty of prints, posters, postcards, and a patch. 

FLAMECON 2016! TABLE 139 !!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been looking forward to this show all summer, and I CAN’T WAIT to show off my new comics and goodies!! As well as Compass South, of which I’ll have 20 shiny copies!
