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.

The Poe Twisted Anthology

Okay so here's the scoop...

For the last few months I've been working on this project for Red Stylo Media, The POE TWISTED Anthology! It is a collection of comics and art works inspired by Edgar Allan Poe. Here is a link to their website which will have more info...

http://redstylo.com/poe-twisted-anthology

I have one story where I wrote and illustrated titled the Tell Tale Cat (Edgar Allen Poe-lice to some...)



The Tell Tale Cat is based on The Black Cat, The Masque of the Red Death, and The Tell-Tale Heart. It tells the story of officers Lansdowne and Harrington, following them around as they have to deal with the characters from the before mentioned stories. You may remember The Black Cat and The Tell-Tale Heart both featured the police at the end of the story, well this is their version of what happened. This sweet baby will be put out on digital release August 24th and regular release sometime afterwords!

The other story I worked on was Eldorado, written by Sherezada Windham-Kent, illustrated by me!



This western/zombie epic follows the mysterious rider on his search for Eldorado. Sherezada Windham-Kent is a writer and filmmaker who directed Everything I Needed to Know About Zombies I Learned From the Movies. This baby will be released August 14th.

I should also mention that with the digital releases they will come with special features including some original sketches, alternate covers, and an introduction by yours truly, among other such things.

I should also also mention that I'm also doing the coloring for another story in the series titled Absolution, written by Jason Ciaramella and illustrated by Enrique 'Zeke' Savory, Jr. Jason Ciaramella is the 2011 Eisner Award nominated writer of The Cape
from IDW, I highly recommend it! But more on this later.

So to get the full anthology (also featuring work from my buddies Mark Mullaney, who you know from Cormack Cook Colossal Cinema Collection fame, and Andrew Jerz, who you know from your restraining order) the printed copy will come out August 21 and the digital release will be August 31! Here is the cover for the anthology illustrated by Master Jerz (the middle circle is a shot from Eldorado).



More to come...
