Anyways - I'm joining Denver's finest illustrators in a monsterous (pun intended!) Zombie art show / Engagement party at The Bar Standard on Saturday October 24th!

I will have three pieces framed for sale, and a four print series for sale as well! This is part one of a three part show that will go national in May, and part of the proceeds with go to The Rocky Mountain Cancer Foundation & Sox Place. So if you're local come on down and have yourself a great time with us! Doors open at 8pm, it's 5bucks in costume - 10 without.

The Bar Standard is an awesome Art Deco bar located in Downtown Denver at 1037 Broadway Street.

The series of four prints I'm selling will be $10 each or you can buy all four for $30. I'm uploading them all on Deviant art so you can buy them off of here - but if you want you can buy them directly from me and save a little scratch. I will most definitely ship!

So let me know what you think, and contact me if you want anything! After the show is over I'll be returning to doing commissions and comics, and opening up my doors for that.

Everyone take care!
Zak

So San Diego Comic Con was a huge resounding success! I met so many cool new people there and connected with a lot of great companies. Best part ever was that people really really enjoyed my work! I had so many great compliments and insights given.

Attending as a professional for the first time really opened up some doors and led me to some good paths. My Oni Press meeting was top notch and I had a great time with them. Definitely my ideal place to work.

Anyhoo - I put up a special image as a thank you to everyone so check out the gallery on the left and dig it! I also just posted up my entry into the Squidworks Pinup Book for Nan Desu Kon. It's also my first official piece I'm selling as a print! So if you want it - go ahead and show a little love! Order you a print!

And that's about it!

The busy, not so much updating DevArt life for me continues. I would more than love to update but I have some top secret stuff I'm fully involved in right now so I can't! But soon, soon all will be revealed.

So in other words I'm working on three different comic series and I'm up to my eyeballs in work. Loving it and life is good! I'll be posting those results soon here!

And that's about it! I'm super pumped for Comic Con this year and I think a lot of good things will come out of it! If anyone else here is going let me know! I do know Friday night I'll be hitting The Field with Rob from ToplessRobot.com so there's that. Anyone who wants to come is welcome!

Speaking of, I'll be in Cali twice this next year. Megan is getting married in May and I'll be out there. I already have an appointment with Technicolor that she hooked me up with once I get out there. Score! Then it's the usual San Diego Comic Con. But this year I'll be rolling in as a professional since I have cred under my name. Maybe even an exhibitor if G & I can rake up enough cash for a booth there. We'll see how our respective jobs go I guess. K, Chris & Jen are coming with me so the hotel room will be manageable at least.

At any rate, I'm working on commissions, Squared Circle comics and my little web comic should all be debuting here this next year. If you want a commish, drop me a note and we'll talk.

Have a super sweet Christmas season!

Other than that I'm building a stronger body of work, and I hope you cats will dig the new progression coming out of home base here.

A few upcoming series to look out for will be a stronger concentration on the females and -of course- Halloween ghoulishness! It's my favorite time of the year!

As always, I'm open for commissions. I'm more than happy to discuss rates and such but only in private msgs. Don't worry, I don't charge thousands of dollars. I just prefer to keep it private.

Anyhoo... I hope everyone is doing well out there! Much love from Zak!

Things are already picking up for San Diego... I already have some meetings scheduled (!!) and things are rolling on well.

My pinup was also approved for Chad's book and hopefully that will mean more on the way. Either way, it's my very own published work in a guy who's got some decent face time in the industry.... climb the ladder, Monty...

I think the person I'm looking forward to seeing the most is Brian Lee O'Malley of Scott Pilgrim fame. After talking to him over livejournal this past year, it'll be nice to finally meet him. I've met his wife and she's a delight. I've heard the same of the man himself.

I'm also looking forward to actually experiencing the San Diego bar scene with a certain Ms. Rona. Since I've loosened up the drinking rule, life has been a bit more fun. Bring on that warm warm whiskey!


ok I can barely do one drink, but you know what I mean. Hooray for lightweights.

And I'm babbling. Back to work. Seeya chitlin's!

Hell yes, friends.



Anyways, back to work. I've got a job interview to get ready for in San Diego next month!

I've printed up a lot of stuff to hit the con with this summer. If this one doesn't work, I'll be saving up to hit as many as I can later in the year. Definitely hitting NYCC next year too.

As for now, I'm hitting the ol' dusty trail down to Santa Fe. More of a fun weekend with friends than anything else, but I have business cards for the galleries down there in any event. Maybe I'll get some love out of the old south west!

I'm going to have a lot more time to do work now that Dustin is moving at the end of June. There will definitely be something missing once he takes off. Weird weird times.

Anyways, I'm out. Look for new stuff on the horizon.


Adios!

But the good news is that my illustration portfolio is finished. I have a 1st Floor ashcan nearly colored for SDCC and I'm just working on a sequential portfolio now. I have the business cards and the website left too. Wish me luck!

But hey, IF like five of you want a FREE piece... then you could always sign up for freeipods.com and use me as your referral. Seriously, email me first off and tell me so I can tell you if I've already gotten my five or not. Contact me at morborama@yahoo.com if you want to. Here's what I posted in my livejournal:

If you guys sign up for this shit and refer yourselves to me, I'll send you artwork. I'll draw pretty much whatever you want, and I'll do it quick this time since I'm taking a break to research things for my book and start school. This'll be only open to five people since that's all I need to refer so if you want an original piece of mine, hook it up.

[link] that's my link. Sign up for the ebay offer (ya gotta do it through IE. It won't work with anything else) by creating a bogus email with Yoggin. Then bid on something and lose. It's pretty fucking easy, and hey you'll get some of my cruddy artwork in exchance.I'm pretty sure you've got to do it all through the freeipods.com website so don't sign up & bid outside of that free ipods window cause I dunno if they'll count that.

I'll be doing the drawings on 11x14 bristol board and in Pen & ink. So yeah, this is your chance for a free piece of my comic art! Huzzah dammit, cause I wanna free iPod!

But yeah, I'm coming back cause I finished my work I was doing before, and new stuff will FINALLY be making it's way in. Sequentials, President EVILS and whatever else I have. Should be good times for all. I've got a LOT of research to do for my new book, so I'll be a bit more free to get myself some fun artwork done, including commissions. Right now I don't have a paypal acct, so I'll have to do it snail mail for now, but I guarantee ya I'll get you guys some cool art to you if you want it.

Take it easy y'alll
*free ipod plz*
hah

I've got a rather large 6-7 part President EVIL I'll start up soon if I don't get selected for Comic Book Idol over at ComicBookResources.

Y'all have a good one.

If you've never listened to The Streets give yourself some enlightenment! Its just this odd droll british rap. Good whiteboy stuff!

and with that, I have Invader Zim to watch!!

If you don't know who Metric is, well you should. They're probably one of my favorite bands to hit in the last year, and I got the chance to see them, and have a fun talk with them at a show in February. I was talking to their lead singer Emily at the bar for quite sometime about how artists influence each other and that got us onto my art. So now its nearly May and I've done some cool ass drawings of them, and a few other things that I have to mail off to them this week. So those will be up on here later.

Also, in light of all the Bush hatred running rampant in the world, I got a little spark of comedy going in me for a comic. All I'm gonna say is two words: PRESIDENT EVIL...

And last but not least a few portrait kind of things should be up too. I've got a few comic pages inked so depending on when I can scan and color them, I'll have those up.

Like I said there should be a good amount of work coming up this next week so keep an eye out for fun and insanity! OH MY!

BUT NO MORE OF THAT!

Or something of such inclination.


I think you kids will really like my new stuff. Its really a departure from my current style on some levels, but on some its very much the status quo. A good mix.

Now, not only all of that has been going down, BUT I've been designing my own website as of late. I'm hoping that I'll go live with it in the next few months, and that'll be my stomping grounds from now on.

SO, you should start seeing some more art from me soon. I'd put comics up, but I don't wanna drop any spoilers for the 3 of you that'll buy my book in the future. So look for mostly character designs, and a few keen things I have planned out for Jamiee's site. Fuck, hit her up sometime at [link] she's frickin hott, and one of the funniest girls to talk to when you have nothing to do.

Love, peace, and bootygrease
