And so long as I’m in a self-promoting, re-blogging mood, here is the ONCE UPON A TIME MACHINE anthology I did a bunch of lettering for. Based on the page count, I apparently lettered 13% of this beautiful book.
Please pre-order this book. Besides the fact that you will love it, the editors are super cool guys and deserve your support.
Once Upon a Time Machine is in this month’s Previews Magazine which would mean NOW would be the time to tell your local comic shop to order you a copy.
You can also pre-order the book on Amazon. 25 stories, 432 pages all for one awesome price.
And my story is worth that price BY ITSELF.
Some process art I posted for the upcoming OXYMORON anthology. I think it turned out pretty dang cool.

Fever Dreams of Organic Machines -
I’ll be talking more about this in detail later on, but for now they’ve added my gallery show to the upcoming events section on Visart’s website. If you’re around on August 3rd, I’d love to see as many of you come out for the opening as possible. I plan on having wine and will attempt a live reading of some gross comics.

Here’s a metaphor for what happens typically when I have an art related epiphany. If you know me, you know that this describes my life.

THE RED TEN to be Distributed World Wide this Fall! -
I’m in this.
Last month, ComixTribe signed a distribution deal with Diamond for world wide comics distribution. This means THE RED TEN, among other books, will be solicited to nearly EVERY COMIC SHOP ON THE PLANET! (As you can tell, we’re excited.) This is a tremendous opportunity for creators Cesar Feliciano and Tyler James to get their story in the hands of readers everywhere. “It’s a step we wouldn’t have been able to take were it not for fan support and retailer buy-in that proved that there is a market for our book,” said James. ”We’re psyched about this new opportunity.”
Great! So what about THE RED TEN #3?
The only downside of this new distribution agreement is that it’s going to delay the release of THE RED TEN #3, because we must first give THE RED TEN #1 and #2 a chance to distribute to the 1,950 comic shops who didn’t carry it the first time around. Unfortunately, moving a book through the Diamond system is a much longer process than our micro-distribution set up. (In fact, TRT #2 was finished just a week before it showed up in shops!)
So, we will be re-releasing a remasted version of THE RED TEN #1 this fall through Diamond, with subsequent issues coming out on a bi-monthly basis. THE RED TEN #3 is currently slated for a world-wide release early next year.
Not to worry, though…THE OXYMORON will hold you over until then!
We know it’s a bummer that there will be such a long break between issues as we get TRT spun up through Diamond, so to tide over THE RED TEN fans, ComixTribe is releasing OXYMORON, a wicked good series of one-shot stories about the fan-favorite psychopath from the pages of THE RED TEN.
A limited run, 32-page Oxymoron #1 will be released to our microdistribution network of retailers, sold online, and digitally, later this summer, and a 100 page trade collection will debut at this year’s New York Comic Con.
I’ll also be sending an early preview to members of THE RED TEN’s mailing list very soon.
If you want to see more of OXYMORON, be sure to check out the OXYMORON Production Blog, which has a TON of great content.
If you have a local retailer NOT already supporting our book, we hope you’ll consider mentioningTHE RED TEN and ComixTribe to them. Every mention helps raise our awareness and increase the chances that the books will make it to the shelves. This June, SCAM #1 by Joe Mulvey will be the first ComixTribe book solicited to retailers through Diamond in their Previews Catalog. If you haven’t checked out SCAM yet, watch this trailer ( http://youtu.be/tcAH4Ey_tUw) and visit ComixTribe for more!
This is the anthology that I am doing some lettering for. What little I’ve seen is gorgeous, and you should buy this.

Color page 1 from TRUMAN, appearing in the upcoming DISTRICT COMICS anthology. Coming in September. Story by me and Art Haupt, drawn by me, colors by Wendi Strang-Frost.
I tried coloring this story. I tried 2 or 3 different styles, from modern styles to a retro style aping 1950’s coloring, but nothing was working. I just couldn’t get it right.
Thank Jebus for Wendi Strang-Frost. She made my doodles look really pretty and brought this story to a new level of awesome.
