MATRIX FIGHTS 1 - Feb. 27 in Philadelphia

There are a ton of things I'm looking forward to for 2010 and one of them is the Matrix Fights event that's going to be at The Arena in Philadelphia now that MMA is sanctioned in Pennsylvania. Here is a poster that I just finished for the fights. To buy tickets for the event, go to http://matrixfights.ning.com/page/tickets-2

Philadelphia Comic-Con

Nothing says quality like a convention at the Ramada Inn - though one of the smaller events held around here, it turned out to be a lot of fun and many thanks to all who made it out and showed some support. For the next couple months I'll be buckling down to finish issue 2 and just found a couple days ago that I've received a Xeric Grant for First Fight! I'm way psyched about this and am very much looking forward to the coming year and all the other stuff I'll be doing. Here's some images from the convention.

Philadelphia Comic Convention Jan. 3rd

I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday. Wanted to post that I'll be at the Philadelphia Comic Convention on January 3rd at:

Ramada Philadelphia Airport
76 Industrial Highway
Essington, PA 19029

Located between exits 8 or 9A off of I-95. South of the airport by about 3 miles
See website for details -----> http://www.philadelphiacomic-con.com/

I'll be doing sketches as well as selling my usual junk. Also, I've got some big news that I'll post up once the holiday craziness is over. Very much looking forward to 2010!

review by the Art Blog

I highly recommend the Art Blog which is written by Roberta Fallon and Liby Rosof. They recently were kind enough to plug First Fight and write a review about it here.

New Monsters of MMA

Here are a few new additions to the series - I've started working on First Fight #2 and should have it done sometime during the Spring along with a couple other things I'm working on. Thanks for all the feedback and support!

Black Friday Signing at Wade's Comic Madness

Things went great on Friday - did a little bit of everything - some sketches, sold some comics, and ended up nearly doing some babysitting for some younger fans. Unfortunately in my haste, I didn't get to take a photo of most sketches I did but here are some from the beginning of the appearance as well as a picture of some younger artists that I met at the signing. I'd like to thank Joshua Steinhouse for kindly making a balloon version of me (including a muscled six pack - which I wish I had...) and stealing possible customers with his blasted superior three dimensional balloon art.
