So a while back thanks to the power of Twitter I was able to con the guys over at Red 5 Comics (namely Brian Clevinger) into letting me throw down on an Atomic Robo short story.
After sitting on the details for several months I can finally do a little bragging and inform you that the strip is now live!

Big ups again to Brian, Scott Wegna and the entire Red 5 Comics crew for the opportunity to play in their sandbox, it was a blast and I hope I get to do it again in the future.

So after an almost 3 month absence of posting to the blog I’m finally back. Needless to say the new day job has taken up more of my time than I’d planned and not turned out like Id hoped it would. Long story short what should have been a small creative shop has quickly bloated to a “agency” model with little room for quality or accountability.
That aside I’ve been hard at work on The Old Ones. I’ve got the entire story plotted and am working on the second draft script at the moment. With some help from my Space-Gun Studio mate Jake Ekiss the 3rd or 4th draft should put me in a good spot to start art duties on the book.
And speaking of, I’ve got a Kickstarter project going to try and raise money for the project. Please share the link, and donate if you can!
There are a few more small things in the works that I’ll announce later on. For the moment I’ll leave you with a random stream of consciousness brush pen sketch done over my break last week.
See ya soon.

Wow, what a crazy month it’s been. My apologies for neglecting the blog but the new day job has taken it’s toll on my free time and after working on freelance, finishing up commissions, and the constant connection to Twitter and Facebook there’s not much room left for blog posts. I guess the new research is true, blogs are going the way of the Do-Do.
But have no fear, I won’t be neglecting you beautiful internet masses, and have several cool bits of news to announce.
First off, my new employer Rockfish Interactive has moved into its new Frisco office (photos on my Flickr account), and I’ve settled comfortably into the role of a senior designer/art director.
I can’t say I don’t miss working from home and drawing all the time, but it’s nice to design again, get back up to speed on interactive work and produce storyboards and spot illos while getting a nice salary and bennies to boot.
The other bit of news is the official commencement of my next project, Lights in The Sky. Friends and family have long known about my fascination with UFOs and this summer I’m going to share my thoughts, theories and personal experiences on the matter.
The plan is to offer it up for free as an ongoing webcomic, and if all goes as planned my fellow Space-Gun Studio mates will also have projects kicking off. You may even see Space-Gun webcomics in the near future.
That’s it for now, below is the first promo image (and possible cover) for LITS. I hope you dig.

This was a piece I did as a gift for a coworker’s son. I tried to keep it simple and cartoony yet dynamic, and I’m really happy with the result.
Happy Birthday Julian!
