I hope everyone enjoyed Memorial Day! Is everyone ready for some updates??
1) THE ADVENTURERS OF LIBERTY CITY - Brad is in the process of inking and lettering #8. He'll also be drawing the cover to this issue, which he should be getting to me soon for coloring.
2) WICHITA GRAVY - Brad, David, and I are compiling our stories to include in this year's issue 3! We plan on having it done in time for SPX!
3) SUGGESTION BOX - I finished issue 6 and sent it to Katie Omberg, so she can do her mini comic magic to it! She's currently drawing #7 (from my script) and she just sent me the script for #8, which I should start on this week. After we get these last two wrapped up, we'll compile them for "Tales From The Suggestion Box" anthology digest #2...in time for SPX as well!
4) THE CURSE OF STRANGLEHOLD - Melanie Florencio finished up the interiors and the cover last week and we sent it to the printers this weekend! It should be available by early July!
5) BEE STING - Jeremy Massie is hard at work on the pages for this one and it should also be done in time for SPX!
6) SIMON SAYS - Desiree Pittman is working on this book, and yeah, like all those others, it should be done in time for SPX! I cleaned up the script for #2 and will do the same for #3, starting this week. Surprises about this book will be announced soon...
7) CULVER - What's Culver, you may ask? Stay tuned for more details...
Til next time,

I (heart) Fanaticon!
Wow, what can I say about Fanaticon 2? It was awesome, really...after going to this show its first 2 years, it's quickly becoming my absolute favorite convention to go to.
I'm not certain about attendance this year, but I'm willing to bet that it was higher than last year (which I believe was 2700+). It's an extremely kid friendly con, and it was even more so this year with a designated kids activity area (making superhero masks, superhero slime, and more!).
Jeremy Massie and I did really well at our table. It was very cool to have so many people come up with "The Adventurers of Liberty City" trading card that was part of the Fanaticon card series, asking me to sign it for them. I also got the opportunity to talk with some other comic friends, like Brian Wingrove, Raven Perez, and J. Chris Campbell!
My words cannot stress how much I enjoyed this show! I'm already looking forward to next year and seeing what new and exciting events that the Asheville Art Museum has planned to go along with it.

Rock on...
I've become a big fan of this time of the year...spring is starting to give way to summer and the convention season starts to hit big time! So much is going on right now, and there's so much more that's coming...
* FCBD 2011 was this past weekend, and it was great! I was at Comics Plus in Macon, GA (my old stomping grounds) with David Simonton, Jeremy Massie, and Melanie Florencio (sadly, Brad Jaskula had to cancel at the last minute). We gave out tons of copies of The Adventurers of Liberty City Index #2 (and some copies of last year's #1) and The Curse of Stranglehold/Bee Sting preview flip-book. We had a blast just hanging out and talking to people about all of our upcoming projects! Can't wait for next year!
* Fanaticon 2 is in less than 2 weeks! I can't believe how fast it got here and I can't wait! Jeremy and I will be sharing a table again, so if you are near Asheville, NC, come check out this awesome FREE convention!
* I finished penciling The Adventurers of Liberty City #8 and passed it along to Brad for inking and lettering. He's also working on the cover that I will help him color...more info soon!
* I'm putting the finishing touches on Suggestion Box #6, which Katie Omberg wrote and I am drawing. It's a tale of the woes she had working for J. Crew! Should be a good one, haha.
* Some big updates on Simon Says are coming very soon, and I mean BIG...so keep checking back for more info.
