I am the King

A drawing I did at Drink & Draw @ Casey's Irish Pub in Down Town LA. This features myself as the king of my own world surrounded by my creations.

Father & Artist

This is a topic I've been wanting to blog about for a little while now. As some of you may know, I became a father to a beautiful little girl last December. I am now a stay-at-home-dad since February. Since I've been home, I have been struggling with balancing my Art and my Baby. Everything has to be timed. I have to hope that my drive and inspiration is in tact when she goes for a nap. It is something I have slowly been mastering over time. I get most of my work done in the evenings once she goes to sleep. But by doing that, I also cut my sleep time short. So I'm down to an average of 5 hours of sleep, 7 on a good night. On top of all that, I'm trying to whip myself back in shape by eating well and exercising. But overall, I've never felt better. Having this little girl in my life changed my whole perspective on everything. Everyday starts with a smile from her and it's "Go Time". It seems that now I make the best of everyday. Unlike before, I would sit on the couch on my days off wasting away in front of my Video Games and movies. I never appreciated the free time that I had. And now that I'm busy as hell, it seems as if I'm getting everything done that I have been trying to get done for years. So I have to thank my little Girl and my Amazing Wife for this new gift. The gift of being a Father and an Artist. Thank You!

Order Tales Of Hammerfist: Preview Edition

Alright guys. I have officially received my preview copy of "Tales Of HammerFist". I made some changes to the order process. Since Paypal charges too much for their transactions, it is best to purchase the comic straight from Indy Planet. See the link to the right of this post, it will take you straight to the "Buy Now" page. I will continue to order a few copies, so if anyone wants to meet up and pay cash without shipping, that is still an option. Just let me know when and where. So on behalf of John, Stephen and myself, we would like to thank you for your contributions and supporting our new business venture.

HammerFist...Coming Soon

This is the cover for an upcoming web-comic called "Tales of Hammerfist". It will be published on a web-comic site that is planned to launch by the end of 2012. I am currently awaiting our PREVIEW issues that are intended for early viewing to those who wish to support this project. Once available, they will be on sale for $3.00 each. Any profits from this will be invested into the web-comics site and future projects. So what is HammerFist all about, you ask? I originally put this character in a Bar Scene Drawing that I did for my father-in law. It was a gift for one of his Rocktoberfest drinking parties. I liked the look of the character and created another drawing of him in action.

I forwarded this image to my friend John Kratky and asked him if he had any cool ideas for a comic concept. So he started writing a short story, which is the story featured in our PREVIEW issue. Basically, this character has free range to be whatever he wants to be. Adventurer, Action Hero, Warrior, Beer Drinker, Blacksmith, Lover, etc... We will throw him into all sorts of situations in a wide open Alternate World or Dimension. As I told one of my co-workers at my old job when he asked me what this character was all about, "HE KICKS ASS" in an Arnold accent. Stay tuned on updates.

Anime Expo 2011....a great time!!!!

So Anime Expo ended today. I had a great time out there representing Shinhan's Touch Markers. If you were there and tried them out, thank you for stopping by. And thank you for grabbing my card and checking out my blog.
I hope you return here frequently to see what I'm up to. I have a few comic ideas in the works as well as a T-shirt company featuring those crazy bears I draw all the time. If you saw them, then you know what I'm talking about.

Here are some pictures to remember these last 4 days.
