SECRET PRISON #4

Currently working on the second issue of Monsters of MMA as well as the third issue of First Fight and things are progressing nicely. Everyone should check out Secret Prison which is a newspaper format anthology which is currently working on rolling out their fourth issue. I urge everyone to help fund this project so that independent artists like myself have a voice. The fantastic Art Baxter has done an amazing cover for it as well - and I'm excited about all of the stories that will be contained within it.

Savage Dragon #151 Pinup

At the request of some folks, here's a pin up that I did for the coolest freaking comic in existence, Savage Dragon. This was a little while back in issue #151 and though I was massively psyched that Erik allowed me to do something for that issue I still would love to do a backup story sometime about Double Header. Anyone who happens to not know Erik Larsen or the comic Savage Dragon needs to get out there and buy some of his comics - the guy is seriously an artistic genius with a work ethic that makes other guys like myself want to crawl into a hole and die.

Art Show this Friday!

Wow - things have been so busy I've neglected to post on my very own blog - fret not, I will be posting more often now. Here's a show that I have a piece in which will be opening this Friday at:

I will be posting again much sooner with updates regarding conventions, First Fight, Monsters of MMA, and much much more!

Convention Schedule

Here's a preview of page 17 for Monsters of MMA that I just finished up. Can't wait to get copies of this comic to print for the upcoming conventions and appearances that I'll be doing - also, I've got some other projects that are in the works for later this year which are going to be awesome. Will say more about that soon!

First Fight #3

Here's the cover to First Fight #3 which I am very excited to be working on now. Many good things are on their way this year including confirmation that I will be at the New York Comic Con in October 2011! Many thanks to everyone for their support and spreading the word on Monsters of MMA. Included below is an ad that I am running for Grapplers Quest as well as a promo for Monsters of MMA.

GERMAN by Jeremy Waltman

Things have been very hectic in a good way over the past couple months. Grapplers Quest was a blast and I am happy to announce that the canvas print I donated to their auction for Autism Radio sold for $500! I want to thank Brian Cimins and his whole organization for putting on a great show that will certainly be covered in a future issue of First Fight.

I'd also like to recommend an interesting graphic novel called GERMAN by Jeremy Waltman which includes a mix of martial arts with good old sequential story telling. I met Jeremy at the Philadelphia Alternative Comic Con where I got to chance to hear about his comic and I hope everyone reading this checks out his site as well as his other work.

Grapplers Quest

Great news - I'm officially being sponsored by Grappler's Quest for their event next week on December 4th in Asbury Park, NJ. I gotta work off some turkey weight I put on from yesterday but come next Saturday I'll be ready to compete in the 179 division.

Here is a piece I did for their the charity auction that will be going on at the event for AutismRadio, a non-profit (501c3) charitable organization who developed the first Autism Family Support, Diet and Treatment Radio Network to help families cope with the challenges of Autism.
