The game has changed...


Felt bad about not posting in forever(having too much fun to draw right now :D)-This is my unfinished entry for the "Marvel Tron" competition held by satellite soda. You were supposed to draw a marvel character in the TRON universe, I picked Jubilee from the X-men-Watched the movie today(sick soundtrack by Daft Punk) and thought it'd be an appropriate post.Critiques are always welcome.Enjoy

Home For the Holidays


Sooo, if you haven't noticed the last few posts I've been ravin' about going back home to Ghana for the Christmas break I assure you this is the last you'll hear of it lol. Recently got an e-mail from my mum who reminded me of the time I was running after her in an over sized t-shirt (after she told me not to) and fell of my face scraping the skin off of my nose...While it scabbed over my nickname became "Rudolf" . I was probably between the ages of 9 and 10 - I used a picture of our living room back home.I thought it would be appropriate for the season :). I should really be working instead of just randomly drawing haha .Oh! and everyone should listen to J.Cole's "Friday Night Lights" it's dope! Anyway, Happy Holidays. Critiques are welcome .Enjoy

Why I haven't posted lately

The quick answer is that I'm lazy.



The detailed answer is that I've been busy doing other things, though many of them are just extensions of 'I'm Lazy'.



I spent a week's vacation visiting my wife's brother in Arizona (see my previous post), and since I routinely stay up until 2am, while everyone else goes to sleep around 11, I should have had plenty time to write up reviews of Batman: The Animated Series, or post some of the many, many pictures I've taken of my toys, because I couldn't spend the time watching movies or playing my XBox. But I didn't. Instead, I played a great deal of Poker on Facebook with my cousins. I read webcomics, I watched The Dark Knight, and I might have worked on my new collection wiki a little bit (but not nearly enough).



Then, the first week of December I went through Radioactive Iodine Treatment, which has left me isolated and home alone for a week. Though I did work from home two of those days, I didn't work full days, and I had the entirety of the rest of the week all to myself. And I still couldn't be bothered to make a post.



I spent most of the first day (like 16 hours or more) playing XBox (Bayonetta and Assassin's Creed II), then watched Predator (which is a damn fine film). Tuesday I got a box of 60 or so Transformers that I spent all day sorting through, matching up accessories and pieces, etc so I could decide which ones I'll keep for myself, and which ones I'll sell/trade on forums and eBay. I think I had some Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes playing while I did that. That night I watched half of Predator 2 (another damn fine film). The following day was a mix of working on my collection, trying to sort stuff for sale, consolidate and put some of my stuff in storage for another phase of redoing my collection room (not that the first phase that I started last December ever ended, it just slowed down until I barely worked on it once a month, and a year later it's still not finished. Anyway, I mixed that sort of productive stuff in with playing games, and finishing Predator 2.



The next two days I spent some time working, and working on my toys and playing XBox, Saturday I spent a few hours hanging Christmas lights. I got the bright idea of hanging lights all along the roof, because last year we got a hundred or so universal outdoor anchors for like a dollar at Walmart's after Christmas clearance. Of course, I don't have a ladder that can reach, so I had to walk to my brother-in-law's house (my car wouldn't start) to borrow his, then right as I started climbing all over the roof (I thought it would be easier than having to move the ladder around every 30 seconds) it started raining a little bit, so of course my pants got soaked from sitting on the wet shingles. But it looks pretty good, if I may say so. It comes at the expensive of not hanging lights in the girls bedroom, or all over the downstairs living room like I normally do, but change is nice sometimes.



So I did actually get stuff done in all this spare time that I meant to use to do lots of blog posts, I didn't just play video games and read comics (oh, I did nothing but read webcomics all evening Saturday and all day Sunday - I highly recommend The Order of the Stick and Dr McNinja). Oh, and I re-watched Hellboy and Hellboy 2 this week, because they are awesome movies, and I watched the 3 hours of bonus features on Hellboy and started into the 3 hours of Hellboy 2 bonus features. And I finished Blade Trinity, which was a lot better than I was led to believe. Not as good as Blade 2, which was freaking awesome, but good nonetheless.



Actually, I wrote did a review of the next Batman episode while in Arizona, but I never cleaned it up for posting. I'll do that soon, I promise. And I have hundreds of new toys I should post quick pictures of, half of which I've already taken pictures of, but have yet to post. I swear I'll do that one of these days.

Nightmare before Christmas







Went to see Tim Burton Yesterday -He's a lot less quirky than I thought, it was cool. Here are a couple of sketches I did of him while he was answering questions ( i dunno why he came out so chubby haha didn't notice till later) oh, and a sketch of my buddy Freddy who was there too (http://www.freddycarrasco.com/) dope artist. The title of the post is more relevant to how I feel than the fact that it's a bunch of Tim Burton drawings lol .Enjoy

Monsters and Dames

A different kind of drawing today.  I was invited to be a guest at the Emerald City Comic Con next March, and they ask all the artist guests to contribute a drawing to an art book they publish to sell at the show to raise funds for a local children's hospital. A great cause and a chance to do something outside of my usual work. The theme of the book is "Monsters and Dames":



A bit more cutesy than my usual stuff but it's for a children's charity. ;)

Assassin's Creed: The Fall Released Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the day that Assassin's Creed: The Fall #1 hits stores. Frankly, the buzz around this project in the comics community has been disappointingly low, I think mainly because a lot of people are still - understandably - put off by the idea of a comic based on a video game.


My co-creator Karl Kerschl and I (and our colourist Nadine Thomas) have really worked hard on this book, and we've poured a lot of effort and energy into it, because we wanted to do something that wasn't just a shallow, cash-in spinoff. Believe me, I've worked on that type of project before, and I can admit that I've half-assed it for the paycheck. But not so here - with the amount of creative freedom granted us by Ubisoft, it really feels like this is a very personal project for Karl and I and we're very proud of the final product. We've tried to make it accessible for non-gamers, engaging for people already familiar with Assassin's Creed, and above all, the kind of comic that we'd like to read.


This is my first published work as a writer, too (aside from Sin Titulo, which is technically self published), and so it's a new phase in my career that's very exciting and I would love if it started successfully.


Assassin's Creed: The Fall #1 is out in stores tomorrow, November 10, and is available at comic shops, Target, and GameStop*. I'd very much appreciate if you would consider purchasing a copy, and letting me know what you think here. Thanks and I hope you enjoy it!

*NOTE - the edition sold in Target and GameStop is slightly altered than the direct market version, for bad language.

Batman & Robin 16 - Black and White

Hey everyone, the final issue of Grant Morrison's run on Batman & Robin is out in stores (to much media fanfare, with its SHOCK! change of the status quo), and here are my pages, unlettered and uncoloured. I would have loved to do the entire issue, but sadly the schedule simply didn't allow it so huge thanks to Frazer Irving and Chris Burnham who helped out with their amazing work!


Unfortunately, none of these pages are for sale...as they don't exist! I did this issue completely digitally, so there are no physical pages. However you can still buy pages from my previous run on Batman & Robin over at Splashpage Art.
