Here’s the full Strikes story, written by Bret Parks and illustrated by me.
You can buy Strikes in minicomic form at Ssalefish Comics in Winston-Salem:

Commission: Portrait/Commission of George Melly
Here’s a commission I recently completed of English Jazz singer and writer George Melly. Likenesses are always a bit of a struggle for me, and this one was no exception. I’m pretty happy with the inking and toning of this piece, though for sure. It’s headed off to its new home in Cambridge soon!
Here’re a few pics of Melly:

STRIKES Mini-comic Article In Winston-Salem Journal
There’s a nice write-up about Strikes, the mini-comic story I illustrated for Bret Parks (the owner of our local comics shop, Ssalefish) in today’s Winston-Salem Journal. You can find the article online here along with a short video featuring Bret and me talking about making the book. Here’s a scan of the newspaper article featuring a panel from the comic. I’ve heard tell that the full comic has been posted over at the Ssalefish forums. If so, I’ll post it here as well shortly.

Come See Me At the Winston-Salem Toy & Comic Book Show
The show is this Saturday (5/12) from 10 am until 5 pm. I’ll be arriving fashionably late (Apparently, I can’t just leave our four-year-old at home by herself until my wife gets back into town to take over). I’ll be hawking copies of some of my books and doing sketches/commissions… but–most important–you’ll be able to get a copy of the new mini about The Empire Strikes Back that was written by Bret Parks (of our local comic shop, Ssalefish) and illustrated by me. Here’re a few panels from it:

From The Sketchbook: Jack White
The new Jack White record is pretty great and I’ve been listening to it (and the new Spiritualized) pretty much non-stop for the last week or so. Just ’cause I had Jack White on the brain, I whipped up a quick illo of him in my sketchbook. It’s not a great likeness, but I do like the pose.
Aside from one recent freelance storyboard job, I’d never attempted digital inking. On a whim, though, I recently purchased Manga Studio and had a go inking with it here. The UI of Manga Studio is pretty dated-looking (maybe it’s better on a Mac?) but the tools seemed to me to be much, much closer than the ones in Photoshop to the feel of physical inking tools. Anyway, Jack White:
