It has been almost a year now since I have completed the full issue of Grimm Fairy Tales #33 for Zenescope Entertainment and I haven't received a dime for any of the work I did. Back in late winter, I was really hurting for jobs and trying to just stay afloat with my rent bills and car payments. I figured it was about time to escalate my hassling of Zenescope and let them know how much I needed the money I was owed. It seemed that they were sympathetic to my cause but because they had spread themselves to thin, they would not be able to pay the full amount. They were going to pay in installments. Well at this point I was pretty pissed off. I didn't take out a loan! After I mellowed out, I realized that any amount of money I could get from them would help out, but that wasn't going to happen either.

So my agent went to work, emailing and calling Zenescope trying to get, not only my money, but many other artists he represented as well. Zenescope felt he was too aggressive and proposed that an attorney become involved in the whole ordeal and make it a legal matter. This is where I am stuck at now.

Having talked to other artists I know and a couple others I have met at cons, this occurrence with Zenescope not paying people isn't just happening to us, it is kind of across the board. This is my warning to anyone who is thinking of getting involved with Zenescope in the future. Unless you are an EBAS or J. Scott Campbell, you may have problems getting the money that you deserve for the work you did. So spread the word if you know anyone or you yourself are going to be working for them.

Other projects at Panel88 include LEASH, Soulless and AWOL so feel free to check those out as well. As Dissension moves from concept to completion, look for new pages and character designs up on the site as well.

The video is also available on YouTube.

I finally decided to price out my old sequential pages and will have a large selection of those for sale. Included in the bunch will be the interior pages from Grimm Fairy Tales #23 and #33 as well as pages from the Warhammer 40k book, Defenders of Ultramar. Some pin-ups and other random stuff are in there as well.

I still haven't decided how many I am going to make, but I am printing the Dissension Sisters Cover prints for sale. Depending on time, I might throw another one in there.

I am bringing a bunch of sketches (i have posted some of them up on here) for sale. I will be taking sketch requests at the con as well. If you have a special request or want a more detailed drawing to pick up at the con you can PM me and I will try to squeeze it in before I head to the con.

See you all there!

Well after a swift recovery from my wrist surgery (nothing serious) I figured I should get a journal up. WWC was awesome! Although I had a less than perfect spot in artist alley and the fact that the industry lost a great artist (will post my Michael Turner tribute piece soon) the con turned out pretty well. I ended up having one guy come by and pretty much pay for my entire table, which was really cool. Also, I sold every sketch that I brought and sketched during the con

A interesting story happened to me on Friday night. After consuming way too many beers downstairs in the Hyatt, Kristen and Talent Caldwell asked if we knew of anyone who had beers in there room were they could have an A-Bar. We had about 60 left in a cooler in ours so I intvited them back up there. After they arrived, there was another knock at the door and about 15-20 more people came in to drink. The thing was that most of these people were famous artists!

So besides Talent, I had Eric Basaldua, Dave Finch, Joe Benitez, Mike Choi and Ralph Tedesco, all inside my hotel room and drinking beers with me. It was pretty insane. Our neighbors were old though and not thrilled with our party so we got the cops called on us as well as the hotel manager. EBAS and I attempted to explain to them that we were just having a chill party in honor of Mike, but they weren't buying it so everyone had to leave.

Since then I have been recovering from my surgery and starting up some new projects as well. Hopefully I will get to post some stuff soon.

I have been doing a bunch of sketches that I have been posting on here for the con, which I have plans to sell the originals at the show. If there is something you would like me to sketch for the con just respond to this journal or email me and I will try to fit in as much as I can. I am also trying to pull together a couple of prints to bring along, so hopefully time allows and I can get that done.

So if you are at the con and remember my table, or just randomly walk by, don't hesitate to chat me up. See everyone in Chicago!

I had a great time at Westfield comics on Saturday. I was out there from 11:30 until 6 doing sketches and chatting it up with my fellow Madison artists. I was pretty suprised of how many there were actually. The guest list was:

WC "Cory" Carani (Legion of Super Heroes, Marvel Ultimate Alliance)
Jeff Moy (Legion of Super Heroes, Marvel Ultimate Alliance)
Jeff Butler (Green Hornet; Badger; Marvel Ultimate Alliance)
Micah Farritor (White Picket Fences; Gene Simmons’ House of Horrors)
Mark A. Nelson (Aliens)

A big thanks goes out to Westfield for having us all there and buying us food for compensation.

As for the Oconocon, it was pretty cool to be able to drive a short ways to a con. I got to meet up with some acquaintences from WWChicago 07 and meet some new people as well. If they plan on doing it again next year I hope to have a table.

Hope everyone else enjoyed their weekend as much as I did.

Sounds like there will be some cool guests there and it is so close that I figured I should definitely stop by. I won't have a table or anything but if you happen to recognize me feel free to say hi.

Hopefully after this weekend is done, I can get to some of my art that has been waiting to be finished.


Also, Free Comic Book Day is on Saturday and I will be at Westfield Comics for anyone who is in the Madison area.

Also, to whoever is in the Madison, Wisconsin area I am signing the books at Westfield comics on tuesday night, so if your in the area stop on by. I don't think I have met very many DA artists from Wisconsin, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

In the picture right above the one's Francis took out his window of a bunch of boats you can see my print hanging up on his wall. He even calls out the print in the article under section A.

Francis has always been one of my favorite artists and since I have gotten to know him at a bunch of the cons I have come to realize he is a really nice guy too. So thanks to Francis for giving me a shout out in his studio tour.

Another exciting feature for the coming new year will be the first story arc for the story I have been working on with my friend Chris Fielder at Panel88 Productions. I have been working on this story for about 8 years now and it has come a really long way. So be on the look out for character designs and some sequential art as well.

Finally, the most exciting thing of 2008 is that I will be getting my work published!!! I was put in touch with Raven Gregory over at Zenescope Entertainment and I was given the go-ahead to pencil 2 issues of their series Grimm Fairy Tales. I won't be able to post art until the book hits the shelves but I may be able to post a couple sneek peeks.

Now its time to get out and celebrate!

Enjoy your New Years!!!
