Well, finally decided to update all my fans (both of you) on what I am currently working on. There are several projects I just recently finished up and am working on a new one now. I just wrapped up doing the pencils on a short story for the Sky Pirates of Valendor Anthology. The story revolves around the pirate queen Murderous Meg and you get to see exactly WHY she is the pirate queen. She definitely didn't sleep her way to the top. The anthology is in the final stages of production and should find its way to the printers very soon.

Another project that just wrapped is the latest volume of ICONIC, an anthology put together by members of the Comicbook Artists Guild (or CAG for those of you in the know). I did the pencils on the bumper pages between each story and they are put together in a very unique way. The book has a really cool ending. It should be shipping pretty soon from the printer so I'll update when that happens.

And what is taking up a lot of space on my table now are extra pages for the Sky Pirates of Valendor Trade. It's sort of like a Director's Cut in that there is going to be bonus material and extended scenes. Hey, just because it isn't a dvd doesn't mean we can't do it, too. There are a lot of extra pages we're putting into it so even readers who picked up the first series can get the trade and read it for all the cool extras. I can't say too much but one thing I am excited about is the extended fight scenes. A giant bear with a big hammer is just too cool.

Painting-wise, I've got a new one on the easel. It's just something to work on in my almost non-existent spare time. We'll see if I can finish it within the year. The painting is pretty big, around 26 x 36 inches or so. The scene is of an oriental dragon and a geisha/sorceress standing in a summoning circle in a Japanese garden. I'll upload some 'in-progress' shots when I get to it.

I don't have any concrete plans as of yet for any cons but we'll see what the summer brings. The second series of Sky Pirates will be gearing up this summer so that is what the future holds (at least, that I know of). So that is my update. If my editor allows, I'll try to post some teasers soon.

So everybody out there keep drawing and peace out. Laters!
