Here's a tat I did for Chris at APE this year! The design, I mean...I didn't do the actual inking into the skin and all. Enjoy!

CONVERSE news





Yep, you've seen 'em here before, but now, if you're in Ireland, you can get 'em. Here's a link to the Converse website:

CONVERSE IRELAND

Also, I'm having a VERY few pairs shipped to the states. I'm planning something special for Comic-Con. The sizes will vary, but for you collectors out there, I'm planning to offer a VERY limited edition that will include:

*a pair of the Chucks, random size
*in a hand-painted Converse box
*an original, framed painting of the dog on the shoes
*an original, hand-painted skate deck, featuring the dog on the shoes

I'm talking LIMITED EDITION here, folks, Like a limited edition of 5 or so. Price to be determined. Does this sound like something you'd all like to see made available?

Here's an update on the latest on Fyn Stec's benefit auction! Just click the link for details on how to bid on amazing art by Tim Biskup, Lynne Naylor, Chris Reccardi, Paul Rudish, Craig Kellman, Craig McKracken, Don Shank, ME, and others!

FYN'S AUCTION

APE!

I'll be there, and you should be, too. I'll have NOBLE BOY for sale and will be doing paintings on site, San Diego-style, $100 each, anything you want, as long as you bring reference. Again, I'm not actively taking commission work, so if you want a personalized original painting, this is one of your best chances to get one. See you there!

APE!

Tigers!





These three tigers were done for an upcoming art auction at Cartoon Network to benefit Fyn Stec, the son of animation designer Paul Stec. Fyn was recently diagnosed with liver cancer, so please send the Stec's some good vibes and donate to help Fyn, if you're so inclined. I'll post an update on whether or not you can bid for these online, but I think it might be a situation where you have to be there to bid. In the meantime, enjoy the jpegs!

AFTERWORKS 2




AFTERWORKS 2 is nearing completion! This thing is going to be stellar. The line-up is amazing...plus they let me in to play. Image is publishing for a July release, just in time for San Diego! When you see it in PREVIEWS, order!

E-VILLE PRESS

EMERALD CITY and CONVERSE

Two quick things: I'll be at EMERALD CITY COMIC CON in Seattle this weekend with pals Jim Mahfood, Mike Huddleston, Dave Crosland, Bob Schreck, Diana Schutz, Matt Wagner, and others! Come say hey. I'll be bringing paint, San Diego-style, and doing paintings, 8"by 10", black and white on color backgrounds, any subject you ask for, as long as you bring reference for the crazy stuff. Probably $100 a pop, as long as my arm holds out. Hope to see some of you there!

Second: The Converse shoes below...I've received reports that they're available in Taiwan and Ireland, but no confirmation of other regions. I'm having a few pairs sent over from Ireland. The agency I worked with on the shoes has been told by Converse that they were never made and don't exist...though, again, people have reported purchasing them. SO...I'll let you all know the deal as it unfolds. We're bugging the hell out of Converse to get the scoop. Thanks to Louise for the news from Ireland!

More soon!

ALONG THESE FIERY PATHS







So here are some test pages for a future book, ALONG THESE FIERY PATHS. The book revolves around my tendancy to become very hot-headed, juxtaposed against a backpacking trip in Yosemite where I found myself cut off by a forest fire. Really happened! Anyhow, these are potentially images from the book, but they're tests, so the book may end up looking totally different. Thought you all might like to see how it's progressing at this stage, though, so here you go!

I AM 8-BIT II





So, next month is the debut of Gallery1988's I AM 8-BIT II, a critically acclaimed group show with an 8-bit video game theme. The last show was a major success, and this year will mark the debut of not only this new show, but a book and some serious press coverage. Here's some pieces I'm contributing to the effort, based on Atari's COMBAT cartridge video game. All are cell vinal and watercolor on heavy watercolor paper, 4"x6". All of these images will be available at the gallery for purchase. RATATAT!

EMERALD CITY!

http://www.emeraldcitycomicon.com/

I'll be there, and I'm trying to figure out how to bring paint to do paintings, San Diego style, $100 a pop, anything you want. If I can't figure a way to get my paint on the plane, It'll be drawings, fully inked, for $40 a pop, I think.

APRIL 1 and 2! Mark yer calendars!

And APE is the next weekend, where I'm sure to have paint!
