Aw, Shucks

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

Reviews for Love and Capes seem to keep trickling in. That’s great, especially with the second issue due to hit the Diamond catalog next month. Marc Mason over at the Comics Waiting Room gave me a pretty nice one yesterday. A couple of passages that caught my eye: Thom Zahler, a creator who has made [...]

Follow the Yellow Brick Road

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

When I was working as a graphic artist for a local newspaper and trying to find a new job, frequently at advertising agencies, I would often hear my new prospective employer say "Well, we have really tight deadlines." "I work at a daily newspaper, producing a daily product. You have worse deadlines than that?" They [...]

Cleveland, Where Art Thou?

Monday, August 28th, 2006

Finally, something I can show you. Cleveland Magazine hired me to do their Fall Arts Guide again. The issue came out today. Well, other people got it today. Me, no such luck. I mean, I only drew the thing, why would mine come early or something? But anyway, I pitched them the idea of a [...]

Is Buzzboy All You Can Post?

Friday, August 25th, 2006

Well, I’m doing several other jobs, actually. Unfortunately, most of them are either in progress or stuff I can’t reveal yet. I did just do a Wizard of Oz illustration for Scene Magazine, and I’ll post that next week after they’ve had time to publish it themselves. I figure they should get first publication of [...]

The End of the World As You Know It

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006

Sad news today, as Stargate-SG1 has been cancelled. Geez, it’s always the good ones. I know ten years is a good run but man, the show was experiencing a bit of a second wind with the introduction of Ben Browder and Claudia Black. At least Atlantis continues. To make up for that bad news, here’s [...]

I'd Forget My Head If It Wasn't Surgically Attached

Sunday, August 20th, 2006

Okay, I like to think that I can laugh at myself. So, let me prove it by offering up this nugget: I forgot the award. I flew all the way out to LA to pick up an award, and it’s sitting on a table in my friend Charlotte’s living room. I didn’t bring it with [...]

Acceptance and Denial

Saturday, August 19th, 2006

I flew out to Los Angeles for the SMPS event that I mentioned below. I flew out from Cleveland on a blissfully snake-free plane, and arrived in the City of Angels with just enough time to get to Charlotte’s place, grab a shower, put on my tux, and head to the Renaissance Hotel for the [...]

I'd Like to Thank All the Little People

Thursday, August 17th, 2006

Okay, so what’s this LA trip I’ve been talking about? Last year I did some work for TDA Architecture, based here in northeast Ohio and in Chicago. They’re a fine group of people, and a smart bunch, given that they hired me to design some postcards for them. I designed a series of “Things Our [...]

Can You Feel the Buzz?

Tuesday, August 15th, 2006

I miss that old "Disney Afternoon" theme song. "Can you feel the buzz/don’t you know you feel the buzz because…" Sorry, I’ve digressed., I’m coloring the second issue of "Buzzboy: Sidekicks Rule" by John Gallagher, Rich Faber and doubtless other talented people. John said for me to do whatever I wanted to help promote it, [...]
