ON THE VERGE OF A BODOG

(i have NO idea what that means.)

YO.

You should go check this out.



Some brothers i've known since college... one since High School... have come together to create a company called Verge Entertainment.

The company consists of three gentlemen....Joseph Illidge (a former DC editor, present Archaia Press editor, and writer), Shawn Martinbrough (an artist best known for his stint on Batman and his book How to draw Noir comics), and Milo Stone (who is the back and bone of the Verge engine.)

They worked in conjunction with BoDog (which if you're into poker, music, ultimate fighting championships and the like, this is the company that does tons of that... and chances are you've watched tons of this kind of entertainment that they've financed) in bringing out a graphic novel called AYRE FORCE. They took real-life BoDog owner and CEO Calvin Ayre and made him a real man on a mission. I'm sure his ego loves it. Who wouldn't want to be drawn with a gun fighting genetically altered children of a madman?

I do it every day making art deadlines!!

So click on the lavender Ayre Force type!

You'll notice that there are webisodes. 2 in all. My artwork is in the second one.

Even got the credits!!

If you're going to the NY ComiCon, they'll be running the webisodes all day... poor guys at the booth... and you can see in hiDef and in loud bass and treble.

if that's your thing.

I'm proud of the guys. And i'm glad i could be a part of it.

Who knows? Maybe a cartoon in our future?

Wouldn't hurt!

Examples of working in the BIG CITY....

So... for the past couple of months, i've been busting my hump to get this work done. It's been kicking my butt. Especially since i'm doing full pencils to get the pages done. I once told myself that i would never do full pencils on a project again unless i have mega-time to get it done.

And i must now learn never to say NEVER.

So i'm working on Totem, Tempest and Mario Gully's Ant Unleashed. I remember looking at Mario's character on MySpace and asking him to send me some issues so i can see what the character was all about. Little did i know that months later, i would be actually DRAWING his character.

Anywho.... so i'm doing the limited series called TAINTED for BIG CITY COMICS and i'm trying to get things done so i can ultimately move on to my own endeavors.....and it's taking longer than i planned. Things aren't going according to my schedule...

....and it's making me antsy.


But the great thing about working on this project is that it's giving me time to work out some kinks in the way i work on and visualize getting pages done. I'm sure i'll be a different person should i be working with Marvel and DC again.

But i ramble.

These are the covers to the three books i've already done. Some of you may have already seen some of the images on other sites. SO.. see 'em again!!

And if you haven't seen them, it's new to you!
