The big news!<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span>\u00a0 Ever have good news and you have to sit on it so long that by the time you can tell everyone it feels really anti-climactic? And everyone is all excited and you’re all like “yeah..whatever”.\u00a0 That’s my whole life it seems.\u00a0 I couldn’t tell anyone jack squat about an Arsenic Lullaby Cartoon appearing on Comedy central for like…10 MONTHS.\u00a0 All joy that comes into my life just..dies on the vine.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

…anyways, I’ve been teasing a big announcement and here it is.\u00a0 Yours truly will be the illustrator of a new series from a character you all know and love.\u00a0 I am very discriminative in the side projects in choose because MY own book is job one.\u00a0 So it has to be something I really want to do and\/or have a fan base that is going to overlap. That last part is the most rare…although the first is pretty rare too.<\/p>\n

Mad magazine was a no brainer, Valiant has a faithful fan base, so that made sense.\u00a0 This NEW project has both.<\/p>\n

I …am the new illustrator for…<\/p>\n

CASPER THE FRIENDLY GHOST!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0I’m kidding…there is a new Casper book coming out and I sent the publisher an email…they didn’t even bother to respond.\u00a0 That’s rude.\u00a0 And foolish. Don’t they know who I am?!\u00a0 DON’T THEY KNOW WHO I AM?<\/span><\/p>\n


\nlemme list some highlights…
\nWork appearing on Comedy Central
\n6 years at Mad magazine
\nHarvey award nominee
\nEisner award nominee
\nComicdom award nominee
\nThat last one is in Europe…EUROPE…where they only like highbrow fancy stuff.<\/span><\/p>\n

Did they think it was a joke?\u00a0 Just because I draw a lot of dark horrible sh*t for people with really screwed up senses of humor don’t mean that’s ALL I can do.\u00a0 sigh.<\/p>\n

OH…yeah so…the ACTUAL news IS…<\/p>\n

I am the new illustrator for…
\nTHE TICK <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And THAT ain’t no joke (except for the zombie fetus in the illustration).\u00a0 New England Comics<\/a> will be publishing a new Tick series later this year and the guy drawing it will be me!\u00a0 Not much more to tell you right now, because…there ain’t much more to tell.\u00a0 I have the outlines for four issues, I should have the full script in a couple of weeks…\u00a0 My guess is early to mid summer on it hitting the shelves. Uh…the Tick is in it.\u00a0 and…that’s what I know.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As a long time fan of The Tick, I had to jump on this one!\u00a0 That leaves Plastic Man, and Judge Dredd as stuff other comic book companies own that I’d drop what I’m doing to work on…and Lobo, but I’d be awful at Lobo, I could write it but not draw it.<\/p>\n

Pretty cool, eh?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“yeah…cool…any Arsenic Lullaby news?”<\/p>\n

You’re a real buzzkill you know that? Yeah, Arsenic Lullaby news…soon.<\/p>\n

Now then, I have to go…I have a ton of other work to finish before I have to start on The Tick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
