This is what's UP!!

It’s 5:02am going over all the art I’ve got to get done. Last week was APE Con up in SF. A little late but Thanks to all those that came by and showed your support. As you can tell I don’t make this update thing at All a habit. I might back track bit on posting old work up here and there from shows previous.

So this week what’s going down? Well if you live in the San Jose area and happen to be in Japan town hit up Roy’s Station for a good cup of coffee or treat. I’ve done an exclusive print for them. More info on Roy’s and directions here www.roys-station.com

While at APE I bought one of the best sketchbooks I think I might have bought in awhile. The book is itself a piece of art. All hand bound and layered with some nice rage paper. I’ll post up the maker’s info a little later.

You ever buy some really good paper look at it when you get home and say “What the hell am I going to put on this now?” It’s so expensive you don’t want screw it up. I get that way with expensive papers and canvases. It’s always a hurdle to jump in my mind. Once I get past that I just don’t care and keep drawing. That being said I’ll be filling the damn thing up and keep posting pics here.

Now for a little sleep.

More soon…

FANIME CON SAN JOSE.

This past weekend I did the Fanime Con here in San Jose. I was called up last minute to help promote Sac Anime and From the Land Beyond Horror Show. Although this was my second Anime show it turned out to be a good show.
Thank you to everyone that stopped by the table and showed their support!

At the show I happened to meet a couple of really awesome artists.
Justin Hernandez and Alexis Cala from
www.glowingraptor.com had my attention the most at this con. Justin with his original creature work and Alexis with her art style and story telling. What also caught my attention is their collaboration work.

If you want to find out about some new artists this week these two are it ! I’m sure to see more of their work in the months to come.

Bone Marrow Donor Needed for Nick Glasgow!!!!

READ THIS and POST to your circle of friends and Family!!!

ALL BEST TO NICK AND HIS FAMILY!!

28-year old Nick Glasgow of Pleasanton, CA is in a race for his life. Like Project Michelle and 1,000 Cranes for Hope with Yul Kwon, Nick is looking for a bone marrow transplant. When his doctor found out that he was a quarter Japanese, he said there is a zero percent chance of finding a donor. According to the Asian-American Donor Program, based in Alameda, there are 7.4 million registered donors in the U.S. Only 532,000 are of Asian descent. That's 7.2 percent of the total. Only 219,000 donors are of multiple races.

The 44TH

Birds flying high
You know how i feel
Sun in the sky
You know how i feel
Reeds drifting on by
You know how i feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea
You know how I feel
River running free
You know how I feel
Blossom in the trees
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Dragonflies out in the sun
You know wot I mean
Butterflies all having fun
You know what I mean
Sleep in peace when the day is done
It's an old world
It's a new world
It's a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine
You know how I feel
Said i'll be fine
You know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
Ooh feeling good
Ooh feeling good

Hayward Con.

This past weekend I was a guest at the Hayward Comic Book Convention.
We tried something a bit different at this show. What we did was set up about four panels and had any kids or young artist's contribute their art work. The turn out was really good and gave me the chance to talk to other artists.







The idea was sparked up by Steve Wyatt who organized the show. Steve had seen me doing live art at the last Sacramento show and asked if I could come up with something that would allow others to get involved doing art. So the plan is once the panels are filled with aspiring artists work I would then do a piece of art to bring the whole thing together.

Once all the pieces are finished they will be donated at the next Sacramento comic show in December. The donations will be going to The Hero Initiative a charity to help current and retired artists in need. For more on this organization please go here.

Here is one of the commissions I did at the show for Mike. Thanks Mike!!

Gallery Show Recap

Back home and have been setting up things for up coming shows. So posts have not been to much of a concern. I'll try and keep that up for those that read the blog.

The show was amazing and was a great experiance. Being my first time to the gallery I didn't know what to expect but once surrounded by all the art work my nerves started to calm down. Then I had to do a film interview about the 20 years of Sandman and what it means to me. For those of you that might see that interview I warn you I stumble on my words.
Then the night continued on with me giving advice,doing sketches, and talking with other artists. One of whom I was hoping to meet was Mike Dringenberg. He was a real down to earth guy who you could talk to. At one point both Jason Shawn Alexander and I were captivated in conversation by Mike's plans for up coming projects. I can't wait to see what he does next.
At the end of the evening I got to meet Wade and Ben who run Nucleus and talked about artists that interest us as of right now. I can't wait to show there again. Thanks Ben and Wade and thank you to those that turned up and showed your support and continue to show interest in my work.


Me with Ryan Graff the master mind behind show. Thanks Ryan for everything!!

Moving on for any art collecters that might be interested in buying one of the two pieces there is one piece left for sale through Nucleus Gallery. Also there are still a number of great pieces still up for grabs by other artist. The one I wanted is ECLIPSE OF THE REAL by Mike Dringenberg. Man that is such a sweet piece!!! Prices being what they are and with these hard times I was in fact able to get a piece of the show and will display it once its in my hands. Check out the stuff and tell your friends,family and enemies.

Nucleus Gallery

I would like to thank Ryan Graff who has set up this event and gave me the opportunity to be part of such a great line up. Like many people, I've admired quiet a few of these artists and feel very privileged to be able to show my art along side theirs in such a well known gallery.

If you are in the LA area and are free this Sat. Please stop by.If you are unable to attend please keep in mind that the show will be up until Oct. 20th. I'm sure there are a multitude of Sandman lovers out there and I look forward to seeing those that can make the show.
