World of Warcraft's Pearl of Pandaria announcement


Anyone a WoW fan? Of cooooooooooooooooooooooourse you are! :)  


Why you ask? Just wanted to give ya a heads up that Blizzcon 2011 announced the Pearls of Pandaria graphic novel my Table Taffy Studios and I are working on.
For those unfamiliar with Pearls of the Pandaria the concept was created by the all-mighty Sam-Wise.   


This 115 page OGN (Original Graphic Novel) is Blizzard property published through DC Comics': Wildstorm division. The OGN was written by Mickey Neilson. 
The team Wildstorm let me assemble to help bring the pages to life are knocking it outta the park.  You're all in for a treat.


Down to our last 20 pages, but who's counting?! Wildstorm let me assemble a killer team to work with me... so a HUGE shout out to my Table Taffy Studios team 
:iconlaufman: Dario Brizuela, Hwang Nguyen:iconcalebsawyer::icondarkkenjie: and :iconrmo120:


These fellas are absolutely amazing!

01 November 2011

Big congrats....


...to my pal Justin Rasch!  He and his team just released their first teaser for
ParaNorman.  It's such an amazing animation that'll make your jaw drop!





The dealio:
When a small town comes under siege by zombies, who can it call? Only misunderstood local boy Norman, who is able to speak with the dead. In addition to the zombies, he'll have to take on ghosts, witches and, worst, of all, grown-ups, to save his town from a centuries-old curse. But this young ghoul whisperer may find his paranormal activities pushed to their otherworldly limits.

Bastion's 7 Short Story and Oki's new look!

Howdy, Gang!


It goes a 1, 2, into the tres-tres

Below are my W.I.P. I did for my B7 short story while I'm waiting on the script from J.Torres for our B7 webcomic collab.

The webcomic will have new, and exciting plots, and we can't wait to share it with ya.
Also I can't wait for you to see the new designs I did for the webcomic and the world they live in.

The B7 webcomic will be a free comic page a week.  We're still figuring out if the new pages will come out on Sundays or Wednesdays.

Once each story arc is finished, I'll put it together in a collected edition along with new exclusive behind the scenes for the making of as well as a look into what's to come for B7, Gumshoes 4 Hire, Little Big Heads and other new IP's.

Big shout out to my studiomate :iconDarkKenjie:
DJ and I have been having a blast drawing backgrounds together for B7, Gumshoes 4 Hire, and Little Big Heads!

This'll be the first Table Taffy Studios story and we hope you'll dig it!

Junior Justice League To the Rescue W.I.P. 1


Howdy, howdy!

Just wanted to show ya a preview of a fun pin-up I've been slowly but surely plugging away at.

Hope y'all digs!

Thundercats, Scooby Doo, G.I. Joe


Dear Blog.....  Hi, it's me again.  Did ya miss the way I type upon thee onto the ever so lovely little box you ever so graciously provide?
Well, I missed you and that's enough for me. :)


I wanna write about 2 of my favorite childhood cartoons if that's ok, Blog.

Today as I worked I started watching the new Thundercats series.   And oh my is it AMAZING.  I loved the episode when... Oh, sorry.  Yes, you're right, Blog.  I don't want to spoil it for you when you get around to watching the series.  But let me tell you this....Oh my...the designs by Takahiro Tanaka is mind blowing. The story and the storyboards are incredible, too!
One of my favorite relaunches in a long time.  Thank you iTunes for not promoting it, and making me dig in the Warner Bros. network, on the 2nd page at the very bottom where I accidentally stumbled upon the booty last night, and like a moth to a flame burned by the fire (thank you Janet Jackson for those lyrics of wisdom BTW), I was burning a hole in my credit card buying a season pass for the series like there was no tomorrow.  Well worth it.

I'm diggin everything about it. Love the shout outs to the original music. I think my favorite design so far for the new Thundercats series is Lion-o's pops! MAN, he is a tough mutha!
Snarf, Wily Kit and Wily Kat are amazing. their personalities are ADORABLE and makes you want to take care of them. haha


Next up, Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated.  Those dang meddlin kids!  I am so stoked to be able to work here and there on the new series.  Love the direction and look of the it.  The series has a very nice modern take on the gang and it's eerie as heck!

Well, today I was assigned my 2nd storyboards for the new Scooby Doo Mystery Inc series. My 1st boards aired for their "The Siren's Song" episode.  If you're interested in peeping it you can view it here.

Big thank you to Vic Cook for bringing me in for the previous boards and for giving me another assignment today!

Below is my 2nd boards I have ever done in animation.  I was really nervous to tackle it, but I knew I was in good hands with my director, Kevin Altieri.  Been a fan of his and Clement Sauve (Lead Character Designer) for the series.


I'm terrible at being on model with another artist's designs, but I tried my darndest to get this as close as I could. :)

I really liked the 180 rule.  I've heard of it before, but I never used it until Scooby Doo and G.I.Joe.  But I loved problem solving to make it work.. :) Still have a ton to learn though.

Here's the http://youtu.be/f9FGzDKk-FI if you're interested in checking it out.  My section on the episode was from 7:09-8:35.


Well, Blog... I better get back to work... Gotta show Cintiq who's daddy.

Trigun's: Vash the Stampede...


... is in here somewhere amongst these pre-order headsketches. :)

I wanted to make the head sketches in this year's art books more diverse than my previous years of some of my favorite childhood and recent interests.

I'll scan more in later!

Have fun in the meantime looking for Vash!! hehe




Below are some of the busts with a little shadow thrown on.  I hope to be able to get around doing it for all of them when I get a moment.







Hope y'all digs!
