"Tis the Season..."

I know, I know, It's been a while since I posted but it appears that no one has missed me so no big worries here...Just wanted to check in and wish all my little "SURFACEDWELLERS" out there a very happy and safe holiday season.

The economy being what it is poses many challenges to us all and yes even I am feeling a certain tightness in the wallet, but nevertheless I am keeping busy working my regular and boring day job and at night doing that which I do best...no not that, drawing! If all goes as planned I will be starting the pencilling chores on "Billy the Monster Hunter" #3 in January.

I am currently doing the coloring job for Penny Farthing Press on a book called simply "BANG" which features the art of Courtney Huddleston (Decoy), the book is slated for release sometime in 2010.

Development continues on my series; "KUDU-MAN!", especially on the special preview book that will be premiering at the 2010 Orlando MegaCon, I will be making an official announcement here and on various other comic art communities as soon as it is ready for release, the book will feature the first 10 pages of issue #1 in raw pencils and will also have some character bios and notes including behind the scenes developmental and conceptual art on the series.

2009 is nearly at an end and I for one am not saddened to see it go, I have a lot of heightened anticipation and excitement looking forward to 2010 which hopes to be a big year for my personal career as an artist and creator...so heres to 2010, may it bring nothing but happiness and prosperity to us all.

I wish all of you and your families the very happiest of holidays, and the safest.

GOD bless-peace :)

*ps)see you all next year ;)

"It's all Groovy"!

Hello again boys and girls,

I've been away busy as usual doing the usual 9 to 5 thing and then doing the usual drawing and preparing thing too.

Cool news is that I am finally on the brink of preparing my first creator owned project; "KUDU-MAN!" for it's scheduled Fall/2010 release. Before the official release of Issue #1 a special preview issue will be available to the public, Issue #0 will make it's debut at the next Orlando MegaCon in March of next year here in Orlando, Florida. The preview book will give readers a sneek peek into the world of this character with at least 10 pages from the first issue, some key character designs, pin-ups and character and creator bios.

The series will be published and distributed under the banner of my imprint company; "Groovy Graphics Press" which will be the official sponsor of all my creator owned products ranging from the graphic novels to merchandise items like posters, apparel and additional items.

After a redesigning of the font style and logo art I unveil the final design here. (above)

The new imprint and KUDU-MAN! will also be given there own website which will be connected with my Surface Art Studios website but separate, I hope to have it up and running at least in a preliminary stage by November of this year so stay tuned... I will be promoting this subject heavily on the net and comics forums throughout cyberspace.

"KUDU-MAN!" will also be available for pre-ordering through this website along with other Groovy Graphics Press products....believe me...there is much more to come in the near future from the Surface Art Studios and Groovy Graphics Press...till then, stay groovy my brothers and sisters and thanks to all for there continued visits and support...

...peace out ;)
