Updates and NYCC

But hopefully, this one will make up for it!

First, I have to thank the Honolulu Comicon for having me as a guest in July. The show was everything I had hoped it would be and more! I sold out of SENTINELS books the first day, sold out of BUGGED on day 2 and only had two copies of NEVERMINDS left by day 3! I also sold a ton of art and prints and had so many nice and supportive people stop by. It was definitely one of my favorite show so far. It didn't hurt that I also got to see and travel all around Oahu. I even climbed volcanos and waterfalls! It was a blast. So, thank you to all involved in making the show and the trip an unforgettable one!

This summer has mostly been about getting my webcomic, KOWA and our new series, BLESSED SONS, off the ground. I'm working with the talented Ihor Loboda on both of these projects. On KOWA, I'm doing the writing and art with Ihor handling the coloring. While on BLESSED SONS, Ihor is doing all of the art with me writing. I've very proud of both projects and we're almost ready to release them out into the world! KOWA will premiere first. It'll be an all-ages story and be free online. I just want to get a few more pages complete before we begin posting a page a week! We hope to have BLESSED SONS done in the fall and I can't wait to show off the art Ihor is doing. It's perfect!

We'll also see the release of issue #8 of the re-visioned and colorized SENTINELS on Comixology next month! This will be the final chapter of what was the first original graphic novel. With updated text from me, updated art from Luciano and colors by the incredible Ihor, it's like a whole new series! If you haven't checked out any of the updated issues of SENTINELS, you're really missing out!

I'm also happy to report that I'll be at NYCC for the 2016 show on October 6 - 9! What's really great about the show for us this year is that Jamie Fay and I will be reunited with SENTINELS co-creator and artist, Luciano Vecchio ! That's right, all three of us will be at the show again. So, get your pre-show commission orders in now!  We'll be in artist alley at tables H14 and H15.
