I'll be at Comically Speaking tomorw
I'll be up at Comically Speaking for the reboot of the DC universe selling some books and drawing some pictures for the fine people of Reading MA. So if you're in the area come on by between 9-3 and I'll be in there somewhere.
I should also mention the Batman should be there as well.
For the record I bet you this whole starting everything over from #1 will last until next summer at the latest, from then on it will be just side stories like "shadow of the bat" is to "Detective Comics" is to "Batman."

Baltimore Comic Con
So this weekend Red Stylo Media sent myself Mark Mullaney (he illustrated and wrote The System of Dr. Canne and Professor Bull and illustrated the story Zombie Cruise) and Kyle Richey (he wrote the story The After Party) down to the Baltimore Comic-Con to promote the Poe Twisted Anthology and our own work as well.
There's Mark Mullaney and myself at the table, the photo was taken by Kyle Richey. Thanks to everybody who stopped by, and especially to those who bought an issue of Tell Tale Cat, Eldorado, and my quickie comic Quarters (more on this comic later).
Bal-Ti-More?

Absolution Cover Design
This here is the cover design I made up for the story Absolution which is featured in The Poe Twisted Anthology. The story was written by Jason Ciaramella (a 2011 Eisner Award nominee for his story The Cape) and illustrated by Enrique 'Zeke' Savory, Jr. I did the coloring and the cover design seen here (to see the color work pick up a copy later this month.)

Hellbound 2 featuring Dolly (I drew it!)
Recently (while creating Tell-Tale Cat and illustrating Eldorado) I Illustrated Lindsay Moore's story "Dolly" for the upcoming release "Hellbound: the Boston Comics Horror Anthology."
The book is the second Hellbound, it originated from the Boston Comic Roundtable (their website) which is a group of local Boston comic artists (writers and illustrators) that get together every week. I met Lindsay there where she was looking for someone to illustrate her story for Hellbound, so I volunteered. The book itself should be coming out Halloween!
More info to come.

Oh my God I'm on the cover of Spiderman!
Some people strive to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated, Rolling Stone, Wheaties, etc. But that's kids stuff. Try getting on the cover of the Amazing Spiderman. Bam! I knew I would make it some day.
So to celebrate issue 666, Marvel put out all these variant covers for different comic shops as you can see here
So for this my buddy Larry at Larry's Comics up in Lowell (scroll down to older posts for more details) He put out an email telling people to come up to be in a big group picture. So on the far left is yours truly, along with my brother Adam and my nephews Will (in the Hulk shirt) and Chad (in the black Spiderman shirt). The background was created by my friend Stephen Pennimpede (editor/production on the Boston ComiCon sleeper hit Fish Stick Guy) and Larry is in the white shirt up front.
Next cover appearance, the re-issue of the white album.
