Trinity is DONE... well my part

I just finished the last corrections for Trinity#52 today (Darn those Metal men they always get me! well that an Dr. Polaris but that's another story).

Well I figured this would be fun to put ALL the interior pages on one image for the heck of it.

Now if you want a big one you'll have to wait till the book is published

Kid Colt

I'm working on my third Kid Colt Chapter for Marvel right now. It's a digital release series available here: KID COLT

Newsarama has a nice write up

...and my dad being a competitive long distance horse racer (aka Cowboy) likes that I'm working on a western.

I'm coloring JSA next

After Trinity I'll be moving onto JSA starting with issue #29. I'm really excited to work on this book. Bill Willingham is one of my favorite writers thanks to Fables. I've read a lot of Matthew Sturgis too and am looking forward to both of them. Jesus Merino did a few of the Trinity Covers that I colored and his stuff really renders up nicely.

This is going to be fun and a bit insane with such a huge team to render up on every page!

More Vector Zen

I have to thanks the amazing model I've been working with Camila Guerreiro of Brazil. You can see more of her here: ((FLICKR))

I wish I had time to do more but I'm coloring like a mad man and have some great news on new books.. will announce that very soon!

Trinity Covers Galore

So I got to do 6 more covers for Trinity Recently and brings the total up to 21 covers that I've colored on the series.

#1-6, 19-21, 28-30, 40-48

It's been a great run and I've really enjoyed working on a book from start to finish. I'm also pretty happy considering how a grueling a weekly can be with deadlines but the 10 pages a week wasn't too bad.

Here's the last two triptychs.

saw Watchman and want MORE (not just Alan Moore)

DC Comics has what you need in the form of a website:

AFTER THE WATCHMAN

Vector

For some reason I've found time here and there for some vector sketches of late...

DC Classic Library collection covers

Ferro @ DC


SWAMPTHING @ DC



BATMAN ANNUALS @ DC


Superman @ DC



I've been coloring the DC Classic Library collection covers. Here's what I've done so far and hint of what I'm doing now.

and now I'm working on... well the hint is it's some pretty fast dudes and a tale when their universes cross over.

off to NYC-CON

Going to NYC- Comic Con... see you in New York if your there!

Best of Boottie 2008

I found this via boingboing

People have mix reactions to Mash-ups... they tend to love or hate with little middle ground.

I like the novelness of them but keep a few classics on my ipod.

Here's a link to the 2008 edition and if you ever have a chance to see some of the Bootie DJs I would.

Fewer Bars in More Places, AT&T

As first gen iPhone user who is still under contract I'm a bit pissed to hear this and hope it's not true.

http://www.ofb.biz/safari/article/512.html

I guess it's a good reason to buy one an use it on another network if they want to screw you like this.

It's not the first time. When I was a AT&T user the first time and Cingular bought them I was gradually forced to move to a TERRIBLE Cingular plan over my pretty awesome AT&T one.

I remember that call complaining my phone wasn't connecting and dropping calls like.. well I guess like an AT&T phone at the time. They said I could upgrade to the Cingular plan and my response was: "is it an upgrade when it cost more for less?"

can't wait to see how much this upgrade will cost me.

So it looks like they are doing it again.

Vector Sketches

So I got to get a half day of downtime between Comic Pages today... so two vectors
