Hello SurfaceDwellers;
Been a while since I updated the ole' blog here so I thought I would regale you with the latest and greatest from "the Dragon's Den".
As usual ,been hard at work doing that which we all do on a daily basis to exist in this world we have made for ourselves...WORK!
I have also been continuing on developing my own projects; "KUDU-MAN" and "A Tale of REM" which are slowly but surely coming along, both are still in the writing stages. Also been gearing up for another issue of creator Mitch Hyman's "BUBBA; the Redneck Werewolf" which will be ready for publishing by the beginning of 2009 to be released through his new home at; Scare Tactix Graphix(http://www.scaretactixgraphix.com/).
I am halfway through the 12th and final issue of creator Robert Wawrzyniak's space epic "SUPER-7", I along with fellow artist Scotty Shoemaker have been working on the 7 for years now and are relieved to see the final act within our sites. A firm release date has not yet been set for the first issue of the maxi series but hopefully will see release sometime in 2009. To learn more about this upcoming science fiction saga visit the website at; http://www.kickasscomics.com/ .
Besides the occasional commission job that I pick up every now and again from fans around the world I have also only recently taken on a new book assignment this one for the good people at Scare Tactix Graphix.
The book is called "Billy the Monster Hunter" and is created and written by a newcomer to the comics field...Ramsey Rusef.
The story centers around an adventurous 5 year old boy who hunts down and battles those hideous monstrosities that live under our beds, lurk in our closets, haunt our dreams and generally terrorize our peace of mind...young Billy does this despite the disbelieving glances of his ignorant parents and with the aid of his enchanted toy collection. I have only received the script for the story recently, so work will begin on it shortly. I will post some images from the story soon...look for a Spring/2009 release of this title.
The Surface Art Studios website will soon be updated with a new addition called "the Vault", in essence an extension of the Gallery page but featuring my older works, in addition the site will also feature plot profile pages for my "Current Projects" section including one for "KUDU-MAN", and the newly assigned "Billy the Monster Hunter"...also keep a look out for an upcoming contest that I plan to have at the site come Christmas time.
Well, that's about it art lovers, gotta head back to the ole' drawing board and earn my keep as they say...
-till next time, Peace -Love- Joy :)
