"We're all mad here..."



Couldn't figure out what to draw today, and I thought of a conversation I had with my friend Izzie about how Alice's adventure was probably just a really really serious trip on some Shrooms :). We had a good laugh about it, I did about 5 more drawings of what REALLY happened that night lol. I'll probably finish em whenever i get bored again .Critiques are welcomed and appreciated.Enjoy.

War for Cybertron Optimus Prime and Bumblebee

New Transformers! War for Cybertron Optimus Prime and Bumblebee.






These guys are really cool, and fun to play with. Bumblebee's robot mode isn't that exciting, but I really like his Cybertronian vehicle mode, and of course, Optimus Prime is awesome. The robot mode is great, but I especially love his Cybertron mode. I really want to buy another one and do a white Ultra Magnus repaint.



Originally these weren't supposed to be out until August, but last week TRU.com had a few and this week Amazon.com. I happened to have had a $25 gift card for Amazon, so the slightly higher price of $14.99 each became a non-issue. Also I got them at least two months earlier than I expected to, and that is always awesome.



Comparisons with Classics Prime and Bumblebee








Classics Prime is a Voyager class the rest are Deluxes, hence Classics Prime is so much larger. It would be really nice to get a Voyager WFC Prime. And nobody is holding the weapons they came with, except WFC BB in the last pic. The chromed weapons are from the FansProject G3 Trailer, Classics Prime has Classics Jetfire's gun. The Bees have the guns from the BTS trailer.



I cannot wait for the Transformers Generations line to begin for real, I'm looking forward to every figure announced so far.

The sun is back!

The weathers been really shitty lately and FINALLY it feels like summer again so, I got the chance to do what i normally do: Walk down Bathurst ,draw some skaters, then all the way down to Queen sit at the Lettieries window and draw interesting people all day. Critiques are very welcome.Enjoy.

Happy Trails



The news has probably broken by now that I am sadly no longer involved with The Return of Bruce Wayne series. Unfortunately, several weeks back I was forced to make the difficult decision to leave the book. It was a decision that I struggled with, but sadly conditions were such that I felt that my work would be drastically compromised and subpar should I stay on board, and so I felt that it was best that I walked away. I'd like to extend big thanks to my editors for trying to do whatever they could to make it possible for me to stay, but in the end it just wasn't happening. At the time I left, nothing had yet been produced for my issue other than the cover, so there will be a new artist for its entirety, and there's literally nothing for me to post here other than the doodle above. I'd like to apologize to the readers and retailers who may have been influenced to purchase the book based on my involvement, hopefully you will still be happy with my replacement.

I'm not going to answer any questions about the specifics of this, as I don't feel the details are interesting or relevant to anyone who isn't directly involved with the production. Suffice to say that the parting was amicable, and all is well. I'm of course very disappointed not to do it but these things happen.

However, to take the sting away, I do have a couple of secret irons in the fire, including an upcoming new comic series based on an immensely popular property. It's doubly exciting because I will be writing as well as drawing, partnered with my friend and studiomate Karl Kerschl. Work is already underway and we're really excited and energized by it - hopefully you will be too when it's announced at this year's San Diego Comic Con.

Thanks everyone, and my apologies once again. Feel free to repost this wherever it might be relevant.
