I think there is not a request I get more than those asking to see some of my old sketchbooks. I finally got around to posting a video flipping through some of my oldest sketchbooks. Check it out….

Owls of the Ironwork isle 1 IN STORES NOW!
I have been working on this book with my creative partner Stephen Phillips since back in November and it is now on store shelves! The art printed very well I think. Its weird, I can print out pages all I want, but it never feels like a comic until its actually IN a comic!
We will be doing a store signing next Wednesday April 24th at Star Comics in Lubbock from 11:00 am – 5:00 pm! If you’re in Lubbock, please help support me and my work and come pick one up! I promise you will enjoy this story. Its some of the best work I’ve ever done!

Southwest Airlines caricature
Last year was the 35th anniversary for Southwest Airlines. My favorite airlines. I did several events for them to commemorate the event. One thing was to draw all of the employees from our local airline hub. This is probably the most faces I’ve tried to squeeze into one drawing. I was pretty happy with how they all turned out. I hear it went over well with the crew.
My favorite part from these gigs, was getting to go behind the scenes at the airports. Its like a whole otherworld back there. Pretty cool!

Wedding Proposal
One of the cool things about being a caricature artist is that you get to be a part of special events in people’s lives. In this case, I was hired to do a caricature proposal for Richard, and then posed as a live caricature artist at my friends art gallery. When Richard and his fiance’ arrived, I was pretending to draw my wife’s caricature, and asked if they’d like to get theirs done. After 10 minutes or so of pretending to sketch them, and about asking how they’d met, and so on, I pulled this drawing out for them. She had no idea. She said yes. It was special.

victorian secret agents: owls of the ironwork isle 2 solicitation
Issue 1 cover
I HAVE A NEW COMIC!!!
Well friends, it has been a LONG time coming, but I finally have my own comic book series! It is called VICTORIAN SECRET AGENTS: Owls of the Ironwork Isle. Published by Antarctic Press.
What is this story? Its a STEAMPUNK adventure detective story set in Victorian England.
“Through the development of aetheric technology, High London is about to become a floating island in the sky! But the Empire has made many enemies on its way to the top, and someone is trying to stop them. Now, Lady Penelope Ayre and her covert team of guardians, the Owls, must protect London at all costs!”
I co-created this series with Stephen Phillips, a long time friend that I started out making comics with 10 years ago.
The FIRST issue of our series will hit comic book stores April 24th! BUT, most stores will have very few copies, if any at all. So I am asking YOU to go to your local comic book store and ask them to order VICTORIAN SECRET AGENTS: Owls of the Ironwork Isle today! Issue 2 just showed up in Diamond distributions PREVIEWS catalog this week! Please ask your store to order issue 2! And while you’re at it, Have them reorder issue 1 if they don’t already have it.
I dont ask for favors very often, but it would mean a LOT to me if you would order copies of our book! You would in fact be my favorite person ever! And i promise, this story is worth it! If you love my cartoony sketches of people, there is plenty of that in this book! As well as lots of mystery, and HEART and fun!
To find your nearest comic shop, visit COMIC SHOP LOCATOR!
Order: VICTORIAN SECRET AGENTS: Owls of the Ironwork Isle #2 (and backorder #1)
You can find it on page 248 of the Previews catalog, Under Antarctic Press
Crossfit Caricature
This was a commission gift for someone. I was sick with the flu, and for some reason found it easier to paint than draw this portrait. I like how it turned out.

Kids Caricatures
I’ve been super busy lately with freelance work and doing comics. This is an illustration I did a while back for a kids kindergarten class. Kids have so much personality, ha! I really tried to put that into this drawing.

New Books – December
I am so behind on updates. My apologies. Lots of exciting things going on these days. Recently I had a couple new books come out. The first, I had a five-page story in the Gold Digger X-mas Special That just came out…. Its my first time, in a long time, attempting to draw somewhat manga style. I like how it came out.
If your store doesn’t already have it on store shelves, the can order it for you, or you can order it directly from the AP site HERE
And I have six pin-ups in the Girls of Steampunk: masquerade book that came out recently, also from Antarctic Press. I had a lot of fun doing the pin-ups in this book. And I’m happy to be included in a book with a fantastic steampunk story by Rod Espinosa. Its well worth seeking out this book and picking it up.
If your store doesn’t already have it on store shelves, the can order it for you, or you can order it directly from the AP site HERE
I’ve got lots more. I will try to update sooner this time. I hope everyone had a blessed Christmas, and you have an amazing New Year!
