Say Wha...?

Dare I say I dare you to dare me to take this to a final? =O____O=

Sometime back, when I posted up my Marvel AP Sketchcards, several peeps asked me to go bigger with them and take these to final.



I figured Reed and Sue would be a good addition to my Marvel montage, but stay tuned for more characters that'll pop up on it here and there. :)

Well.... I'm just sayin... if you dare, then I dare...

Ramos/Olea and Hererra/Olea Kuta cards

MANOMANOMANOMANOMAN!!!

3 of my favorite top 20 artists of all-time dropped the bomb on me this evening with their gorgeous Kuta cards. If there was ever an art dream team then Humberto Ramos, Francisco Herrera and Leonardo Olea would be mine.

I felt if I kept this in I'd be selfish, so I wanted to share their cards with you.

I hope you'll poop your pants like I did.

While I'm on the topic of artbooks...I've planned out my 2010 artbook this past week.

I'll be doing something different with it. The images won't be shown online, until the book is complete. Once it is done I'll share with ya 3-5 pages and the cover. :) I think this one will be really fun because it won't have any work related stuff in it. Just gonna cut loose, and focus more on full pin-ups, and possible short stories.


Past artbooks:

Thank you, folks for asking if I have past books still available. I may at some point down the line do a reprint for both of my 2007 books "Grab Yo'self A Handful of Cheeks"

There is a small quantity of my 2008 artbook, "Spread the Cheeks" still available.

If you'd like to order them online you can do so Here


And on that note GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LAKERS!

rippin it on da vinyl

Howdy, all.... sorry for the lack of posts... deadlines are KILLIN me.

I just received some photos of the Kuta vinyl progress, so I compiled all the photos together to make a pretty picture.
Now that the master vinyl is approved... we can get them mass produced and colored up all purdy-like. :P

Thank you again for all your excitement. It has made all the sweat and blood worth-while to make Kuta come to life.

Preorders are still open if anyone's interested.
