Thanks to Scott Wegener and Mike & Marie Lilly for putting up with my sub-par artwork. I felt very unworthy to sit between the two of them but they all treated me as an equal and that was very classy. Special thanks to Bob Shaw who arranged for me to sit between the two of them. Without Bob I would not have been able to be there!

Looking forward to Pittsburgh again in April. Next on the slate, though, is Baltimore in October!

Next few shows I'll be doing:

Baltimore Comicon - Oct. 11 & 12

Scranton Comic Book Show - October 25

Harrisburgh Comic Book Show - November 22

Hope to see some of you guys out and about!

I'll have lots of original art and prints for sale and I'll also be doing some sketches. Will also have copies of my comic Inhabit for sale and previews of my new book Wingman.

If you're coming, stop by and say HI! Hope to see you there.

The prices have been lowered and the menu has changed a bit and I think it looks great. Please stop by if you're a fan of original art.

Thanks for lookin'.

That being said, I wish I had done the artwork in my normal style. I tried to simplify it so it wasn't so different then Scott Wegener's. Should have thought it through and went with my gut.

In other news, Marvel Masterpiece III cards hit stands in mid-December. This set contains 25 of my artist sketch cards. I don't know of anyone who has pulled one so I don't know if they're desireable or not. Will have to wait and see. I HAVE introduced myself to the sketch card community on [link] and have been keeping busy doing commissions.

I've been drawing. Just haven't been posting as much. Will try to do better in the new year.

i wish i had. i loved their book Atomic Robo. so i drew a pin-up of Robo and a mutual friend forwarded it on to scott wegener(artist/co-creator). he dug it and asked if he could use it in the book AND if i would be interested in doing some back-up pages for the comic, too.

of course i said yes. with the help of [link] on colors, i get to draw a character i love in his own comic. now here i am with four pages done and approved and very excited to see issue #5 hit the stands!

if you've never picked it up, the Atomic Robo TPB is available and you won't be disappointed. they are on their second mini-series. #3 just hit and my pages will appear in issue #5(the last book of the series).

check it out!

Guess what Im doing? Yep. Sketch cards. And its actually kinda fun. Im only doing twenty-five and already two have been rejected. We'll see how many get approved.

Thanks, Rich, for posting the link to Mark Irwin's open call for artist. For better or for worse.

Toying with my style and working on some submission stuff. I'll start posting again soon. Just getting most of it scanned.

After an awesome trip to the Pittsburgh comicon, I've returned with an art rep.(someone who will sell my artwork and take a cut of the profit.) Just thought I'd throw that out there for anyone who's interested.
Here's the [link]

Keep your eyes peeled, lots of artwork comin' your way!!

God Bless

It's called Comic Book Idol. (Like American Idol, except without the snooty English dude.) This is the third time they're doing it and its great for a bit of exposure and a chance to win the opportunity to draw for some great publishers.

Just thought I'd pass it along. You have until September 30th to enter. Good luck!

What a great crowd? Friendly, cool people the entire weekend. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and said hi and bought prints and original stuff. I actually ran out of a bunch of pictures. I'll try to be more prepared next year. And there will definately be a next year!

It would be awesome if everyone who got at an original con-sketch from me could scan it in and send me a copy. I know its asking alot but I thought most of them turned out pretty cool. I snapped some digital pics of some but I didn't always have my camera. I'll share the ones I have for sure. Keep an eye on my scraps gallery.

Big thanks to all the ninja turtle fans that stopped by the table. For once, Donatello got the most love! How sweet is that! Lots of TMNT sketches, I had so much fun.

Baltimore was a BLAST! Let's do it again next year!

If you're coming, drop by and say hi! I should be there all weekend. Hope it goes well.

I simply don't think that most of the stuff in my gallery accurately represents my style anymore. And since Im really poor (and cheap) I can't afford any other website as a way to showcase my most recent work.

I will definately be deleting a bunch of things that people have fav'd and Im really sorry. Its just a matter of showing off too much stuff that doesn't really show my current style and that's just old and outdated.

The house-cleaning will probably start this weekend. 'Twill be sad for sure. Maybe they'll appear elswhere on the web, but right now they'll be gone.

Its a smaller show but its very cool. Hourly door prizes, friendly people and its only $3.00.
Just thought I'd let everyone know.

Please stop by and check it out. And check out all the other cool free webcomics on Drunk Duck.

Later

Here's the next comic Im posting on Drunk Duck.

Check it out! Its my first self-published comic. Nobody really bought it but its still fun to read.

No big prize or anything. You just win the right to name the next character(s) that everyone has to draw if they want to enter the contest.

It was a nail-biter of a win. In fact, the original contest ended in a tie. So it was between myself and the winner from the month before. In the end I won 24 votes to his 17.

Feels pretty cool, anyways. Definately loads of fun. Check out the Thread the keep up for the rest of the month: [link]

I don't want to say no one because I did have some very cool people stop and give me love, just not as many people as last year or the years before.

Im adding Philly to my conventions schedule this year so wish me luck. Im hoping to meet some cool people over there. If anyone want to come and say hi, I'll be in artist alley. ]]> ~jamesq http://jamesq.deviantart.com/journal/6864755/ http://jamesq.deviantart.com/journal/6864755/ Tue, 25 Oct 2005 14:03:58 PDT
Check out my scrap gallery for the last 12 pages of my comic project. Its kinda out of order but you'll get the gist of what Ive be up to.

I put them into the scraps gallery cause Im only posting them for three or four weeks. After that, Im taking them back down. I didn't want to mess up my deviation gallery.

Check it out and let me know what y'all thinks. ]]> ~jamesq http://jamesq.deviantart.com/journal/6454343/ http://jamesq.deviantart.com/journal/6454343/ Thu, 08 Sep 2005 20:48:10 PDT ~jamesq http://jamesq.deviantart.com/journal/6299902/ http://jamesq.deviantart.com/journal/6299902/ Mon, 22 Aug 2005 17:56:48 PDT
There is so much talent around on this site its not even funny. Im looking for people with the time and the talent and who are reliable. Im seriously on the prowl for some talented people to collaborate with. If you want to give it a try, contact me. Reliabiliy and quality are very important.

If you don't have the time but know someone who might be interested, please let me know. I would like to get started by the beginning of September. I should have a few pages ready to go by then.

Any takers? ]]> ~jamesq http://jamesq.deviantart.com/journal/6098263/ http://jamesq.deviantart.com/journal/6098263/ Mon, 01 Aug 2005 07:36:36 PDT
Here's how things went when I went to San Diego in search of comic book dreams. I wanted to shop my portfolio around to see if anyone would give me a job drawing comics.

I wasn't crazy about their portfolio review area or even the way it was set up. It was very disorganized. The people were friendly but I don't think they had a clue. I got to meet with only a few editors. No one had a project that fit my style. Or say they say. I don't know if they were just being nice or whatever. They all seem to genuinely enjoy my work. They gave me a few suggestions and I haven't heard from them since.

I did talk to Disney Publishing and they seemed very interested in a story idea that my writer/friend pitched to them. Still no word from them though.

Overall the trip out to San Diego was AMAZING! If you like comics, you'll love Comic-Con international. Everyone was there! In your lifetime I would suggest a trip out there at least once. I actually got a picture of Jim Lee. He was talking to someone else but he was about two feet away from me. That was pretty cool. Got to meet Ed McGuiness. He was alright--very distracted, but nice enough.

As it stands, I plan on jumping back into doing my own project with Alexander Shearer and see where that takes me. I am looking for inkers and colorist who are local, so if you live in Central Pennsylvania and can ink or color, drop me a line.

Thanks for all the prayers and the well wishing. I didn't accomplish what I wanted, but I learned so much and I have a newfound appreciation for the working professionals in the comic book industry.

Keep an eye out right here for new stuff. I'll be drawing alot more in the next few months. Stay tuned. ]]> ~jamesq http://jamesq.deviantart.com/journal/5219322/ http://jamesq.deviantart.com/journal/5219322/ Fri, 29 Apr 2005 07:08:17 PDT
Also, Ive started going to local comic conventions again. I bring artwork, set up a table and showcase my artwork and try to sell some stuff. Went to the Lehigh Valley comic convention in mid-April and it turned out pretty awesome. Met some cool people there.

Went to the Pittsburgh Comicon just last week and had a blast. And Im doing another one in Allentown on May 7th if anyone is interested in stopping by. Check out [link] for details. If your in the Allentown area come on out. It sounds like its going to be pretty cool. Anyhoo...don't forget about San Diego! Someone's got to neen a roomate for a couple days. ]]> ~jamesq http://jamesq.deviantart.com/journal/4757988/ http://jamesq.deviantart.com/journal/4757988/ Tue, 08 Mar 2005 07:04:28 PST [link] to see what I've been up to. My writer/collaborator is posting it. Its a pretty simple looking site but it does the job of getting our work out there for anyone who may enjoy our works. 'Atopia' is the current venture and Im really excited about that one. I'll still be posting any mainstream-type art here at deviantART so keep your eyes open. So what are you waiting for? Check out the website! ]]> ~jamesq http://jamesq.deviantart.com/journal/2882356/ http://jamesq.deviantart.com/journal/2882356/ Wed, 14 Jul 2004 17:02:59 PDT
Check out the deviations I added just today(7/14/04) to see what I did while I was down in Ocean Grove, NJ. Keep in mind that I had no refence materials with me so some of the costumes are a bit off. I also did these in black ball point pen, so I was especially happy with the way they came out. ]]> ~jamesq
